"From" field on emails

    Using the instructions at https://xnau.com/sending-an-email-when-a-record-is-updated/, I created the plugin to send emails on update. It sends emails as specified TO a field in the database, and the SUBJECT and MESSAGE are both as specified in the plugin.

    Using “first@example.com,” I can’t seem to override the FROM email address, however, and I can’t figure out where it’s picking it up or why it’s stuck. I’ve tried these things, and the email address never changes:

    • Changed Settings > General > Email Address from first@example.com to second@otherdomain.com.

    • Changed User > Your Profile > EMail from first@example.com to third@otherdomain.com.

    • Deactivated Contact Form 7 and all other plugins which use email for any purpose at all.

    • Changed all instances of first@domain.com to second@otherdomain.com throughout back-end settings of Participants Database plugin.

    • Turned off all email notifciations in Participant Database plugin, except those explicitly defined in the plugin.

    • Tried logging in as a different, NON Admin user whose username has always been associated with a different email address.

    • In the plugin, I’ve tried specifying the email $from = 'Your Website <info@yourwebsite.com>'; and 'from' => $from,; and not specifying the From email address at all.

    I’m stuck. Help?

    Well, crud — I missed one plugin. Registration Magic overrides the FROM field specified in the “send update” plugin. That doesn’t make me happy, but at least I know where it’s coming from.

    Isn’t that nice this issue resolved itself without author intervention?
