EMail Settings

The Forum ☛ Options ☛ EMail Settings administration panel is where you can configure alternate EMail setting for your Forum. You can configure the settings (address, name, etc) for emails received from the Forum.

New User Email


These settings allow you to tailor emails sent to new users following registration to your site and forum. You have full control over both the Email Subject Line and the content of the Email Message

If you prefer the standard WordPress email version – or are using another plugin that is capable of generating the new user email, then turn the forum option off and the alternative version will be used in it’s place.

Placeholders

The following keywords can be used as place holders within the email and will be replaced by their values when the email is sent. It is very important to to enter these into the message text exactly as shown and the very minimum that should be used are the User Name and Password:

  • %USERNAME%
  • %PASSWORD%
  • %BLOGNAME%
  • %SITEURL%
  • %LOGINURL%
  • %NEWLINE%

Note the use of %NEWLINE% to end paragraphs.

Email Address Settings


By default, the term ‘WordPress’ is used as the sender of any email from within the system. These settings allow you to override that and enable you to use any email address preferred. These are the email address components that will be used in such forum emails as subscriptions and new private message. These settings, once made, are global in that they will be used by WordPress for non-forum emails as well.

From version 4.2 these setting are no longer global due to conflicts with other plugins and will only effect EMails generated by Simple:Press Forum.
