• Ever since I updated my WordPress to 4.6 I am getting this error.

    Fatal error: Uncaught exception ‘phpmailerException’ with message ‘Invalid address: ‘ in /home3/website/public_html/wp-includes/class-phpmailer.php:946 Stack trace: #0 /home3/website/public_html/wp-includes/pluggable.php(352): PHPMailer->setFrom(”, ‘WordPress’) #1 /home3/website/public_html/wp-content/plugins/cart66/models/Cart66Notifications.php(16): wp_mail(‘borya.krishka@g…’, false, ‘ \n————-…’, ‘From: <>\r\n\\’) #2 /home3/website/public_html/wp-content/plugins/cart66/models/Cart66Notifications.php(39): Cart66Notifications::mail(‘george@g…’, false, ‘ \n————-…’, ‘From: <>\r\n\\’) #3 /home3/website/public_html/wp-content/plugins/cart66/models/Cart66Admin.php(65): Cart66Notifications->sendEmailReceipts() #4 [internal function]: Cart66Admin::ordersPage(”) #5 /home3/website/public_html/wp-includes/plugin.php(524): call_user_func_array(Array, Array) #6 /home3/website/public_html/wp-admin/admin.php(222): do_action(‘toplevel_page_c…’) #7 /home3/website/public_html/wp-admin/index.php(10): require_on in /home3/website/public_html/wp-includes/class-phpmailer.php on line 946

    Any ideas as to how to fix it?

    They’re working on a fix for this in the next update: https://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/37736

    Alternatively, you could try applying the patch on that ticket yourself now.

    Hi James, it did not work, I tried it,

    It’s very frustrating. We were about to open a web store today, now we can’t.

    Any other ideas?

    I’m having same problem – have you found a fix?

    Temporary fix – revert to WordPress 4.5.4 not ideal but at least the Cart66 is functioning and customers are receiving a receipt and no error message after checkout.

    Better fix – in cart66 settings–> notifications –> configure from address

    Just wondering if this has been addressed in the last updates?
    We are seeing multiple errors with a similar error message and expect it is an issue with phpmailer.

    Fatal error: Uncaught exception ‘phpmailerException’ with message ‘Invalid address: (setFrom) ____@https://____.com

    We are currently running v4.7.1 but did not see any problems until we changed our site over to https. We have found that if we revert back to http we dont see the error. Obviously running as https will be something most sites will be looking to do following the recent announcements from google – especially membership / eCommerce sites. I have not tried rolling back to a previous release yet – Any idea’s if that would help or if there is an alternative patch?

    All you have to do is set the from address in the settings of the plugin using phpmailer.php

    Uncaught exception ‘phpmailerException’ with message ‘Invalid address: (setFrom)

    this error still exist
    i add some custom user meta field at registration form, it works fine in version 4.5.x, but crash in version 4.6.x & 4.7.x

    wp error

    still no solutions?
