WordPress Plugin – Change WP eMail From Details
Categories: Wordpress Plugin
This WordPress plugin lets you customize the email details that appear on emails sent from WordPress. By default the “From Name” on emails sent from wordpress has a name “WordPress” and the “From Address” on emails has “wordpress@your-domian.com” which is not very meaningful. You can customize both these fields with this plugin so your customers are not confused.
Plugin Installation
- Unzip and Upload the folder “change-wp-mail-from-details” to the “/wp-content/plugins/” directory.
- Activate the plugin through the “Plugins” menu in WordPress.
Plugin Usage
- Check the appropriate checkbox for the options that you want to customize.
- Enter the customized text in the appropriate field.

Hi Amin:
why would WP be sending emails in the first place?
I don’t understand the need for this, but must be overlooking something obvious.

When someone leaves a comment wordpress sends an email. Many plugins send emails using WordPress too. In all those cases you get “WordPress” in the name field and “wordpress@your-site.com” in the from field. Many people like to customize those for whatever purposes. This is where this plugin comes in handy.

Nice plugin. Just a feedback: It would be great if you could also add a subject modification feature in the next update
Thanks!

Hi Amin, does it mean with this plugin we could put in for example a gmail address, and then the email sent-from for Re: would have that gmail email address?
It always enoys me when I see the wordpress default. Even when working with your shopping cart or bulk action email. I simply got used to not to check that address (once a month only) and enter into the email body “do not reply to this address”, or to miss those few people who don’t read it and reply anyway.
Thank you.

Hi Rado, yes you should be able to specify your gamil address as the “From address”.

Thank you Amin. Your programs and systems actually make life much easier. I haven’t updated my eStore for a while, maybe I missed the upgrade email from you?!
