Changing sender's email address on confirmation email

[TEME]

I would like to change the email address on the sent confirmation email. Today it says WordPress, and I cannot see where this information is taken from other than it is generated from this plugin.

Please help me out.

Regards,

Teme

Hey @TEME,

Thanks for reaching out!

Changing the “sender” email address requires writing custom code. Our plugins simply use the built-in WordPress mail function, so you will have to read about the WordPress mailing function here ? https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/functions/wp_mail/

From that page, for example:

Optional filters ‘wp_mail_from‘ and ‘wp_mail_from_name‘ are run on the sender email address and name.

So you will need to use that wp_mail_from filter, which you can read about here ? https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/hooks/wp_mail_from/

⚠️ We cannot help with modifying code, so you will have to take the reins from here. But as a quick example, adding something like this to your theme’s functions.php file should generally do the trick:


add_filter( 'wp_mail_from', 'tribe_change_wp_mail_from' );

function tribe_change_wp_mail_from( $from ) {
return '[email protected]';
}


Cheers,
George

Hi George,

Thank you very much for your quick response. I implemented your last code, and I am nearly there. I hope you can assist me with the final sprint to the finish line.

With the inserted code I am now able to change the senders email address with the exception of the word WordPress.
WordPress <[email protected]>

Is it possible to change WordPress to something else?

Regards,

Teme

Sure thing! Look up the wp_mail_from_name filter on that article I linked to above, and add an additional filter like I demonstrated above with wp_mail_from that will change the name.

If you need additional assistance in writing code, please consult with a developer or the trusty google.com for examples, assistance, and more details on how WordPress filters work.

Best of luck with your customizations!
George
