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.

Change WP Mail 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.

Change WP Mail Plugin Usage

Check the appropriate checkbox for the options that you want to customize.
Enter the customized text in the appropriate field.

Settings Screen of the Change “Email From Details” Plugin

Special Note

If you are trying to customize the “From Name” and “From Email Address” for any of the following plugins then there is an even simpler solution:

WordPress Shopping Cart (WP eStore)
WordPress Membership Plugin (WP eMember)
WordPress Affiliate Plugin (WP Affiliate Platform)

You can use the following format in the “From Email Address” field in the settings menu of these plugins:
Your Name <youremail@gmail.com>

So for the above example “Your Name” will be displayed as the name and “youremail@gmail.com” will be used in the email address field.

Donation option can be found on my projects page.

Thanks, working great on a WP 3.4.1/BP 1.6 install. Definitely needed this.

No wonder my subscribers have feedback to me that they have not received my email. It is just that they did not know those emails were from me. I wonder why WordPress does not allow you to change email details manually. Anyways, thanks for sharing this plugin and steps on how to change the details. One would wonder why such an important function was not included in the first place.

This is a very handy plug-in. It also makes it easier to have all reply emails go into one email since I have quite a few blogs.

We keep all of our plugins current to the latest version of WordPress so it should not have any issues with the latest version. However if you do find an issue please let me know and we will have a look at it. =)

Great little plugin. Not much wrong with WP and strange that we have to use a plugin to solve such a problem. Nice work though, just hoping it will work with latest WP as seems you released this quite some time ago now. Mark.

Good and simple plugin to install. Definitely worthwhile to change the from address to something more professional. The default shows a kind of carelessness to the receiver.
