What would changing the directory do? I guess the plug-in can’t access it anymore, but how do you than set the e-mail? * [Tevya](https://wordpress.org/support/users/thefiddler/) * (@thefiddler) * [12 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/does-this-plugin-work-with-wordpress-361/#post-4134537) * It does not appear to be working in WP 3.6+. I sent the dev a message to see if an update is coming soon. Lets hope. * Thread Starter [afinab](https://wordpress.org/support/users/afinab/) * (@afinab) * [12 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/does-this-plugin-work-with-wordpress-361/#post-4134538) * I hope so too 🙂 * [kriskpooh](https://wordpress.org/support/users/kriskpooh/) * (@kriskpooh) * [12 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/does-this-plugin-work-with-wordpress-361/#post-4134551) * I went into the ftp directory and changed the name of the plugin file as below. I got an error message that said the plug file couldn’t be found. Then I changed it back to the correct name (without the – at the beginning). Then in WP-Admin I went to the Plugins and it said the plugin folder couldn’t be found and had been deactivated. I clicked to Activate it and it worked and no longer got the error message about it not being compatible. I created a new user and got the correct custom message. * I know deactivating it and reactivating it doesn’t work cause I tried that. I don’t know why renaming it, not being able to find it, then changing the name back, activating it and getting an error and then reactivating it again fixed it. But that worked for me. * Thread Starter [afinab](https://wordpress.org/support/users/afinab/) * (@afinab) * [12 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/does-this-plugin-work-with-wordpress-361/#post-4134553) * Thanks, not sure I dare to try it 🙁 * [Tevya](https://wordpress.org/support/users/thefiddler/) * (@thefiddler) * [12 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/does-this-plugin-work-with-wordpress-361/#post-4134554) * [@afinab](https://wordpress.org/support/users/afinab/) you’re not going to break anything. That’s one of the beauty of WP plugins: they only work when they’re activated and their folder exists with the expected name. * [bouncy_13](https://wordpress.org/support/users/bouncy_13/) * (@bouncy_13) * [12 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/does-this-plugin-work-with-wordpress-361/#post-4134565) * For me the solution also was: simply change the folder name from “welcome-email- editor” to “-welcome-email-editor” (adding “-” at the beginning) in the plugins folder (wp-content/plugins/-welcome-email-editor/). * 1. I got the mistake in the “Plugin”-area (wp-admin interface) 2. Still activated the plugin (despite the mistake) 3. New users got correct e-mails * However, I DIDN’T rename the folder back to “welcome…” without “-“. * Hope that helps someone. * [PaulSlot](https://wordpress.org/support/users/paulslot/) * (@paulslot) * [12 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/does-this-plugin-work-with-wordpress-361/#post-4134582) * The solution provided by seb.cambrai and bouncy_13 worked for me. * Thanks! * [Tevya](https://wordpress.org/support/users/thefiddler/) * (@thefiddler) * [12 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/does-this-plugin-work-with-wordpress-361/#post-4134591) * Anyone heard anything from the Dev?

Did you try what I did? Changing it and then changing it back to the correct name?
