Can't View Email Sender Settings

    I have a multisite install with Events Manger active on only 1 site. Looking at the EM documentation is says I’m supposed to be able to edit the email settings ( i.e. Sender Name, Sender Address, Mail Sending Method, etc. )

    https://wp-events-plugin.com/documentation/mail-settings/

    However these settings are not available at all. I dug through the plugin files and found this here: /events-manager/admin/settings/tabs/emails.php on line 5.

    if ( !is_multisite() ) { em_admin_option_box_email(); }

    Apparently this function is set to NOT run if is on a Multisite install, which is the function that displays all the email settings I’ve been looking for.

    My question is why is this the case?? Is there something about this plugin that won’t allow the email settings to work? Is Events Manager not compatible with running on a Multisite network?

    This plugin is “not” network enabled on my system so why does it matter that I can’t access these email settings? Is there something else I’m missing here?

    I can remove that !is_multisite() check easy enough but I want to know why its there in the first place? And if I do remove it would something bad happen I’m not aware of?

    Well this is totally ridiculous. So the “from” email address is limited to 1 email for the entire network as this is only available in the Network Admin?? So if I have two sites on my multisite install and they both have EM activated, only one site can have a custom “from” email address, the other is stuck with the email EM defaults to!

    These email settings NEED to be site specific “not” a network setting. The documentation on EM should be updated so people know about this issue before sinking lots of time and money for PRO.

    Thanks EM for wasting my money to get PRO, and I definitely won’t be purchasing another PRO license again until this is fixed.

    @jarelsc, did you get this working? I’m having the same issue.

    @rwickhamdwcorg, I did figure out a solution by editing some files in Events Manager. I wrote an article about it on my site here:

    https://jarelculley.com/events-manager-multisite-unique-email-per-subdomain/

    I basically changed the code so it uses the site admin email in Settings.

    I also keep a .txt file handy of any plugin edits I make with some notes since they’ll be gone after updating the plugin.

    Thank you @jarelsc. I’ll work with that.
