Change the default wordpress@ email address
By default WordPress emails, such as comment notifications, are sent from
WordPress <wordpress@yourdomain.com>
Not entirely sure why WordPress doesn’t have a built-in option to change this but if you want to change it simply add this to your functions.php file…

// Change default WordPress email address add_filter('wp_mail_from', 'new_mail_from'); add_filter('wp_mail_from_name', 'new_mail_from_name'); function new_mail_from($old) { return 'yourname@yourdomain.com'; } function new_mail_from_name($old) { return 'Your Name'; } |
Obviously substituting ‘yourname@yourdomain.com’ and ‘Your Name’
Thank you! It works.
I am adding this in, but it’s not working 🙁 OceanWP Theme
Still works a treat. Is there anyway to make this work globally across all themes present on the server? Also will this need to be included after each update of the theme?
Hi. You would need to include the code in each of the theme’s function files. I build bespoke themes for each client so am unsure of the update process of themes you have. If you are using a child theme then you should be able to add your own functions.php file to that theme folder and that should remain as is when you update the main theme. Might be worth just testing that before updating lots of themes though.
Thank you for the reply. I will let you know the outcome when the theme requires updating. Hopefully the functions file remains the same to the sake of any modifications.
I am using 2 email addresses for my website! I don’t know how to change the address where I am getting contacted on a plugin called WPforms
anyone know that?
Still works fine! In 2018 – tested!
(sorry for the name used – Admin – I am not an admin for this site – just doing something using this name on my own website and the name was by default.)
ok
lets try
