Hey guys, I can’t track this one down. I have an installation that was imported from a different subdomain, now I need to change the site url and email address that is used for the specialty email templates.

Our example here is the forgotten password email. The {reset_url}, {site_name} and {site_url} variables are still the old site’s. I can’t find those settings anywhere.

Can someone please point me in the right direction? Thanks all!

Sorry, I was trying to respond last night but lost my connection.

His suggestion is what I did first, I mean, those are the most obvious settings. No dice.

I’m going to test it once more though (I’m going based on my client’s word)

You know what? It’s working now.

I’m guessing that when I clicked the submit button on the email settings page that it updated more database fields than just the ones shown in that screen. Does that make sense?

I don’t know grin databases work in mysterious ways… The important thing is, it’s working.
