Whenever an automatic email notification is sent, on the receiving end It states it’s from ¨Wordpress¨ and the email is it’s being sent from is ¨wordpress@mywebsite.com”.
Where do I find these settings?
Hi Rene,
You should be able to change that in Dashboard > Settings > General. 🙂
Best,
I only have there ¨Administration Email Address¨ which is set a personal google email I use. There is also no way to set a ¨From¨ name.
There is a place where you can set email settings in the ¨Membership¨ area:
Dashboard > Memberships > Dashboard > Confirm Email Settings
In this area you can in fact change the ¨From Email¨ and ¨From Name¨.
And it does work fine, but only when the automated system sends a message about a membership feature such as a ¨Thank you for payment email.¨
I´ll change the administration email to test it out, but I have a feeling this is not where I am suppose to be.
Otherwise my ¨From email¨ would be my personal gmail email at the moment.
Okay, changed the Admin Email Address as of your instructions in:
>Dashboard > Settings > General
This only changes the admin wordpress log in.
It also makes sense that, for example, when a user requests a lost password, they wouldn’t receive and email from your admin email with automated instructions to retrieve their password… That’s scary.
Hi Rene,
I’m afraid I have no clue. 🤷🏻♀️
This is standard behavior with BuddyPress and WordPress, I’m afraid. Be aware that our theme doesn’t affect at all any emails you might receive from your website.
I found this article from BuddyPress documentation and I think it might catch your attention: Emails.
As this issue is related with BuddyPress, it’s best if you try to reach the plugin authors. They will be more informed and better suited to help you. To go further, we invite you to post your request on their support forums: buddypress.org/support.
Don’t hesitate to share the solution with us. I’m sure it will help other users facing the same issue. By doing this, you will be making a great contribution to this forum, and we thank you very much for that! #SharingIsCaring 💪🏻

Best,
Okay, thanks. I thought it might have been built into the theme as it is in most pro themes.
For those trying to FIX this issue –
Dashboard > Plug ins > Add New > (Search for WP Change From Email Plug In)
Then
Dashboard > Settings > Change From Email
Thank you for sharing the solution with us Rene. 🙂
