# admin_email not working as expected?

 * In Ultimate Member -> Settings -> Email -> Account Welcome Email
 * There is the following line:
    If you have any problems, please contact us at {
   admin_email}
 * However {admin_email} does not take the email address from
    “Mail appears from
   address” nor does it take the address from WordPress Settings -> General -> Email
   Address.
 * It’s taking an old email address that had been set as the site address/admin 
   user email address but changing either of those does not change what gets sent
   in the welcome email.
 * I’m actually quite confused as to where it’s getting this email. Can you tell
   me where it’s stored in the database? Looking in wp_options the incorrect email
   it’s using is in these options:
 * um_options
    um_options-transients auto_core_update_notified

 * Ok I found it. It’s in Ultimate Member -> Settings -> Notifications -> Admin 
   E-mail Address.
 * Seems a little unintuitive that an Email setting would not be under the Email
   settings section. Although I do understand how it’s also used for notifications.

 * Thanks for letting us know. We separated user emails from admin notification 
   emails. That is why there are seperate tabs. Thanks
