Hi there, I’m having a hard time figuring out the admin emails. I have it currently set to forward email warnings for new topics to the admins. The admin for the wordpress site is set to community@thechinastep.com and in the forums we have 4 admins (none of them have the community@ email). 

 

For some reason, only my personal email buck.perley@thechinastep.com is getting the admin emails for new topics. I’m wondering which admins (wordpress or forum) are supposed to be getting the warning email and regardless of which it is, why it’s not going to either. My personal email was previously the admin for the wordpress site but I have since updated that. Does Simple:Press need to be somehow updated or refreshed somewhere to get this info? Also, that personal email is also the email for my admin account in simple:press if that matters.

Thanks in advance for the help! Love the plugin by the way!

Because forum ‘admins’ do not have to be wp admins then new post admin notifcation emails are sent to the users email address as set in their profile.

Note that an admin or moderator has to opt in to get email notifications. This is set on the ‘Your Admin Options’ panel which are personal settings for each admin. So when you turn that on this will only apply to you – not your fellow admins.
