Hello,
We have a small issue that I don’t seem to be able to find an answer for. If you change the email address for an author, the event registration notification emails are still going to the old email.
So for example:
Author creates an event and their email address is author@domain.com, but then later on they need to change that authors email address in the WordPress User accounts to “newauthor@domain.com”. However the notifications are still sent to “author@domain.com” for events created previous to the email address changed on the authors account.
Is there any reason why this would be happening? Instead of Event Espresso just using whatever the latest email address is attached to that User/Author account?
Appreciate any assistance.
Cheers
Dave

Hi Dave,
It could be messages that have already been generated working through the message queue, how long ago was the change made?
Go to Event Espresso -> Messages -> Message Actitity
Do you see multiple messages waiting to send?
Next go to Event Espresso -> Messages -> Default message templates (assuming you are using the default templates and not custom templates for each event?) -> Registration Approved -> Event Admin.
What is set in the ‘To’ field for that template?

Tony,
Thanks for coming back to me. The emails being sent are test registrations I have done after the email address was changed on the user account. The messaging template has [EVENT_AUTHOR_EMAIL]. Although i have had to change this to be the primary email that the client wants to receive notifications on, because if i leave it with [EVENT_AUTHOR_EMAIL], it uses the old email address for the user account.
Cheers
Dave

Hmm, ok.
Are you 100% sure you are changing the correct user account details?
The code used for EVENT_AUTHOR_EMAIL just uses the Author ID on the event to pull the WP_User account and then uses the email from that object, see – http://take.ms/tcKJv
That code should always pull the current email address for the account.

Tony,
100%, which is why i thought it was odd. Didn’t think you would be storing the authors email address with the event when it was created. But that’s the behavior.. very strange. Also only been 1 account we have been tested with, so not like there is 100’s of accounts that we could of mistakenly updated the wrong one or something.
Cheers
Dave

If so you can send temp login details using this form:
