General Email Settings

To customize the email settings in ProfilePress, go to ProfilePress>>Settings >> Emails and click Settings in the submenu.

Admin Email Address(s)

Set your admin email address or any additional email receiving admin notifications—separate multiple email addresses with a comma.

Sender Name

The sender name is the name to use as the sender of all ProfilePress emails. It should be your website name, preferably.

Sender Email Address

The sender’s email address can be the same as or different from the admin email address, and ProfilePress uses it to send emails.

Although we recommend HTML content type, you can decide to send ProfilePress emails in plain text.

Email Template

We have created a default email template, but if you want to code your template from scratch, you should choose “Custom Email Template” in the dropdown menu.
