How to force “to” field in registration activation email to use first name

    I have allowed registration via Buddypress on my site.

    When a new user gets an account activation email after registering, the email uses the username in the “to” field like “To Username” but uses the first name in the email body like “Hello First Name”.

    This inconsistency does not look good and I want the email to use the user’s first name in the “to” field so it is more personable. How can I make the activation email use the first name instead of the username in the “to” field?

    Thank you.

    Check if there is an email template for activating accounts in …

    WP Admin -> Emails -> All Emails

    If there is, you could probably simply edit that to achieve your desired effect.

    Hello ThinLizzie
    I tried your suggestion and I can only edit the email body and subject line, not the “to” field. This is what my options look like: https://ibb.co/br5fsVr

    Sorry, then I can’t suggest anything. Custom code is likely required.
    Buddydev might help.
