Sorry for the late reply!

This problem actually ended up solving itself. The steps I went through prior to it solving itself was removing all things I had in the functions.php file with regards to changing the email parameters. Of course this then reverted it back to the default WordPress email address and name.

The last mode I was trying before I gave up and did something else was “PHP Mail” and I set the email address and name. Prior to giving up it was not working as I had hoped and I was still getting the default parameters. However, after leaving it overnight I woke up to an automated email from the server with the correct name and email address in it.

I hadn’t changed anything between the point of it not working and then working. Unfortunately that isn’t an explanation on how to fix the error, it’s more of a turn it off and back on approach, but it seemed to have worked.

If anyone else experiences this I would suggest just leaving it for a while and seeing what happens.

Thank you for the help!
