Just to make sure that Subscribe to Comments Reloaded is not doing this check the Sender email address Option on the Notifications tab and make sure that your email address is not there, if so, then change the email address for another one and you should be OK.
The email address in Subscribe to Comments under Notifications (Sender Email Address) is the same email that I’d like to use in Contacts Form 7.
No changes when I submitted a test form.
Are you saying something is changing the email address that you put in the from field of the Contct 7 form? And don’t your contact forms go to you only anyway? You don’t want to give your real address away to spammers.
Yes, the “FROM” field is being changed to my default admin email.
So when I submit a test form, I have it set up so the person who submitted the form receives a follow up email.
This follow up email is showing up in their inbox as from my admin address. I’d like it to show up as being sent from, MYNAME FROM MYWEBSITE.COM instead of my BlueHost login username, which looks very spammy and not easily identified (or professional) as being from my website.
Why don’t you install an SMTP plugin and put your From Email in there.
I am really new to WordPress and I don’t want to mess up my custom theme. Is there one that is better than another? Thanks.
That won’t affect your theme. And even if it did, you can just as easily delete a plugin as install one. I’m partial to the one I wrote, but there are plenty to choose from: https://wordpress.org/plugins/search.php?q=Smtp
After looking into SMTP, isn’t a solution for me. Are there any other suggestions for this? Is it the plugin or something else?
I looked through that string already and it didn’t help me.
How is SMTP not a solution for you? All mail on the Internet is sent with SMTP.
Try this plugin then, it will let you set the from address:
https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-change-default-email/
Using the plugin would complicate my email and hosting among other things. This doesn’t address the issue of the plugin not working correctly. Does anyone have a different suggestion?
@reedyseth What email should I change it to if it’s blank? I’m not understanding.
@sharonrossman
Our plugin(StCR) does not take the email address from your WordPress user, it takes the one define in the options setting of the plugin, but just to keep things clear, the leak is not from our plugin.
I will suggest you to disable all the plugins that send email and just leave Contact 7 enable/active. If you keep seeing the same behavior then is the contact 7 Plugin and it might be an option of the plugin or a bug.
