    Hi Brajesh,

    I’m using your “auto activate and login plugin” and and it’s working perfectly. I am trying to send a welcome email using the code you have given here > https://buddydev.com/buddypress/send-welcome-email-to-users-when-they-activate-their-account-on-wordpress-buddypress-based-social-network/.

    I am getting a Fatal error:

    Fatal error: Uncaught exception ‘phpmailerException’ with message ‘Invalid address: “xxxx”‘ in /home/xxx/staging/3/wp-includes/class-phpmailer.php:946 Stack trace: #0 /home/xxx/staging/3/wp-includes/pluggable.php(352): PHPMailer->setFrom(‘”xxx…’, ‘WordPress’, false) #1 /home/xxx/staging/3/wp-content/plugins/bp-custom.php(47): wp_mail(‘carry@xxx…’, ‘Welcome to EN…’, ‘Dear carry,\n \nY…’, ‘From: “xxx …’) #2 [internal function]: bpdev_welcome_user_notification(73, ‘dac24Y16UPkalBI…’, Array) #3 /home/xxx/staging/3/wp-includes/plugin.php(524): call_user_func_array(‘bpdev_welcome_u…’, Array) #4 /home/xxx/staging/3/wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-members/bp-members-functions.php(2044): do_action(‘bp_core_activat…’, 73, ‘dac24Y16UPkalBI…’, Array) #5 /home/xxx/staging/3/wp-content/plugins/bp-auto-activate-auto-login/bp-auto-activate-auto-login.php(222): bp_core_activate_signup(‘dac24Y16UPkalBI…’) #6 [internal function]: BPDev_Account_Auto_Activat in /home/xxx/staging/3/wp-includes/class-phpmailer.php on line 946

    Happy to pay for fix. I enjoy and appreciate your plugins and the fact that you are adding so much to the BP community. Hope you can help.

    Cheers Leigh

    Hi Leigh,
    I am sorry for the inconvenience. It appeared to be an issue with the way I was generating/adding mail headers. I have updated the code on the tutorial page now. Please update and It will work.

    Working great, thanks Brajesh. Just one thing though. The welcome email has the following at the top of the content:

    xxx <admin@xxx.net>
    MIME-Version: 1.0
    Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
    Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

    How do I remove this?

    Hi Leigh,
    Thank you for confirming. I am sorry but those are mail headers and should not appear as part of message.

    Is it appearing as part of the text message? can you please post me a screenshot? I just tested it again and it seems fine to me.

    Thank you
    Brajesh

    Also ‘From’ says WordPress <wordpress@xxxxx> ?

    Cheers

    Hi Leigh,
    I am sorry for the delayed reply. It seems that your email client has the settings enabled that makes it show the mail headers.

    The content displayed are all mail headers. For changing From, Please change it in the code.

    Thank you
    Brajesh

    Hi Brajesh,

    The only time I get the email header in the content is when using this script.
    https://buddydev.com/buddypress/send-welcome-email-to-users-when-they-activate-their-account-on-wordpress-buddypress-based-social-network/

    All other emails sent from my site have never contained headers in the content and still don’t. Is there something in the scripts that could be causing it?
