Emails not sending to admin

Just looked in messages and realised that emails are not sending to us when someone books and events

I am getting the following error message

Event Espresso – Editing Email Registration Approved Template (Event Admin Recipient)
The following errors have occurred:
The email did not send successfully.
The WordPress wp_mail function is used for sending mails but does not give any useful information when an email fails to send.
It is possible the “to” address (orders@bosworthsgc.co.uk) or “from” address (Bosworths Garden Centre ) is invalid.

The test message was not sent

It looks as though everything is set as it should be – any ideas please?

Thanks

“from” address (Bosworths Garden Centre ) is invalid.

Since “Bosworths Garden Centre” is not a valid email address, you’ll need to fix what’s set in the From field of the message templates. For example, if it currently has [CO_FORMATTED_EMAIL], you can change it to have:
[CO_EMAIL].

The ones you tried to resend will still use the old invalid address.

Update: I have now got it working – thanks Josh

Can you advise if it would be best to use a transactional email service to send the email?

Thanks

Yes we do recommend using a transaction email service. There’s more recommendations here:
