I have this same question but from a different angle. I am currently the one getting the email notifications as users register for events and I would like to change it so that someone else receives that email (the new site administrator). I have updated these locations in the Events Manager plugin:
Events>Settings>Event Submission Forms –updated “Guest Default User” to administrator
Events>Settings>Email Settings –updated “Notification sender address” to administrator
Events>Settings>Booking Email Templates –updated “Default contact person” and “Email events admin” to administrator
I also have the email address in the General Settings set to the administrator.
What is overriding all of these settings?
@ericldahl see the comment above, you can set this in the settings, by default an admin should receive new event submissions if they are pending.
@ellenbo these values should be respected… are you sure you´re not missing something there?
Marcus, thanks for responding. I decided to just delete my user account and attribute all posts and links to the other admin. I had some problems loading my database to the host server so I think that is probably the root of the problem.
odd that user accounts affect the issue because it should be a text value in the db, but if it’s fixed lets leave it at that 😉
More of a workaround than a fix but I’ll take it! 🙂
