In testing registration the NEW registration email comes from “wordpress” instead of from the forum, so if I register I get my username and a password and the link takes me to my wp user profile.
I checked the email settings inside SP and although that email contains my forum link it doesn’t get sent to a new registered user?

On the forum admin > Options > Email Settings – did you actually turn on the option to use the SP version of the new user email?
is this related to an email issue you allude to in another topic (https://simple-press.com/support-forum/sp5-general-topics/problem-with-post-edit-buttonelp-file-uploader-for-guests/)???
yes, green would mean on… would be nice to understand this better since we have not had any similar issues reported, but go to forum – options – global settings, and turn on the block admin feature there and select redirect users to their sp profile… this will keep them from the wp admin and redirect them to their sp profile anytime they try to get in the admin…
Does your membership plugin or any other plugin also perhaps have a new registration email option?
The way that WordPress allows for this is known as a ‘pluggable function’. WP obviously has it’s own function to send emails but before it is loaded and used it checks to see if there is another function with the same name – which would be supplied by a plugin. If found it runs that one instead.
So – if two plugins both supply alternative functions with the same name it is going to be down to chance as much as anything as to which one gets loaded to replace the WP native one. It becomes a lottery really. So if you DO have another source of a new user email it could just be wining that content and being used insread of the SP replacememnt one.
I just deleted that user changed the settings as described and got the sam,e result. DAP uses its own resource for members. It doesnt use the WP Users area. I have to log-in to DAP from wp to access my users so I dont think it has anything to do with my problem. Here’s 3 images…
I am still inclined to think it is where the issue lay. The email settings you can set up in SP will only work if everything that needs to uses the WP filters system., If those rules/standards are ignored then yiou would end up with the default, which is, annoyingly, ‘wordpress@’.
Perhaps you could ask the DAP team?
