Change From address

[Bart]

While testing the Event Ticket plugin, we noticed that the FROM address is WordPress@domain. Where can we change this to our own email address? Because it does not make any sense that users get confirmation mails from that address.

I couldn’t find this info on the forum. Thanks for any feedback!

Hi @Bart,

This “from” address is configured by WordPress, not by our plugins.

That is why it’s [email protected], which means that to change this, then, you would need to use some custom coding or a plugin on your site.

To learn about how to change this, you will have to do some research on “how to change the from address in wp_mail()” – you should end up on pages like this one: https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/hooks/wp_mail_from/

That function there is a filter you can use to change the address – try it out and research any aspect of this that you’re not familiar with, and you should be able to arrive at a solution that works well for your project.

Cheers!
