It worked for me!!! pclove on "Changing the Admin Sending Email Address" http://wordpress.org/support/topic/185889#post-1044095 Sun, 12 Apr 2009 22:02:34 +0000 pclove 1044095@http://wordpress.org/support/ I really have to stop posting on here before I find my own solution. I thought I was too tired to keep looking at the code for an answer. Here's the solution. Edit this file: <code>/includes/class-phpmailer.php</code> Go to line 75 (2.7.1) and edit what is inside the quotes. It may say something like "localhost" or something. And on line 88, put your email again inside the empty quotes. This is the reply address you want to use. When I found this solution, I got tired of looking at the code, so I'm not sure if only one of those edits is needed or actually both. But when it worked, I stopped. I know this will help someone. pclove on "Changing the Admin Sending Email Address" http://wordpress.org/support/topic/185889#post-1044037 Sun, 12 Apr 2009 20:29:57 +0000 pclove 1044037@http://wordpress.org/support/ Now I have the same dang problem with new comment notification. When someone registers as a new user, the email is how I want it, but not the comment notification email. WTH?! I searched through the WP core files and also the database and found nothing to change. Anyone know how to get rid of/change this? pclove on "Changing the Admin Sending Email Address" http://wordpress.org/support/topic/185889#post-1035100 Thu, 02 Apr 2009 23:34:56 +0000 pclove 1035100@http://wordpress.org/support/ The "Mail From" plugin did not work for me, but "New User Email" plugin did.

Unfortunately, one of my hosting companies seems to have stopped updating Fantastico and I'm forced to use SimpleScripts. Well, I guess I could do a manual installation but who has time for that. af3 on "[Plugin: Mail From] Is this plugin compatible with 2.7?" http://wordpress.org/support/topic/230260#post-1026956 Thu, 26 Mar 2009 04:12:42 +0000 af3 1026956@http://wordpress.org/support/ also, this is conflicting with contact form 7 plugin kichu on "Changing the Admin Sending Email Address" http://wordpress.org/support/topic/185889#post-998798 Thu, 26 Feb 2009 11:46:23 +0000 kichu 998798@http://wordpress.org/support/ Now there is a plugin called "Mail From" to achieve this change!

Apparently, if wordpress's default email address doesn't exist, then on bluehost.com wp_mail reverts to a <a href="mailto:username@host.com">username@host.com</a> address. Hope that makes sense/helps! tnegulic on "Changing the Admin Sending Email Address" http://wordpress.org/support/topic/185889#post-977765 Fri, 06 Feb 2009 13:38:54 +0000 tnegulic 977765@http://wordpress.org/support/ Tnx kichu :) now it is everything ok :) working just fine :) zigx on "Changing the Admin Sending Email Address" http://wordpress.org/support/topic/185889#post-977478 Fri, 06 Feb 2009 01:39:46 +0000 zigx 977478@http://wordpress.org/support/ BTW kichu, thanks a lot for posting a solution. zigx on "Changing the Admin Sending Email Address" http://wordpress.org/support/topic/185889#post-977465 Fri, 06 Feb 2009 01:33:29 +0000 zigx 977465@http://wordpress.org/support/ Hi All, Is there a way to do this without modifying core files? popart on "[Plugin: Mail From] breaks plugin modnotifybyauthor" http://wordpress.org/support/topic/235844#post-961039 Tue, 20 Jan 2009 09:52:29 +0000 popart 961039@http://wordpress.org/support/ I tried using this plugin with another plugin called 'modnotifybyauthor' which sends comment notifications to the Author of a post. Using the 'Mail From' plugin works with WP2.7 but seems to cause the other plugin ('modnotifybyauthor') to stop sending a From email to the post author. Now I'm only getting the From email to admin. I need a custom From email to go to both post Author and Admin. kichu on "Changing the Admin Sending Email Address" http://wordpress.org/support/topic/185889#post-951621 Sat, 10 Jan 2009 17:33:44 +0000 kichu 951621@http://wordpress.org/support/ I spotted the same problem. I got to this thread by searching. But I have hit upon a solution. It requires tinkering with a WordPress core file though. If you are not comfortable with it, you may desist from doing it. I refer to WordPress 2.7 only. I found in pluggable.php in wp-includes around line 343: <code>$from_name = 'WordPress';</code> I changed it to: <code>$from_name = $blog_title;</code> Then around line 354: <code>$from_email = 'wordpress@' . $sitename;</code> I changed that to: <code>$from_email = 'administrator@' . $sitename;</code> That's it. May be there is a more elegant way of doing it. Mine is a layman's solution!

In 2.6.3 that's at line 350.

Is it possible to change "from" field in email messages which WordPress send to users. (eg. when user reset password). mbeazley on "Changing the Admin Sending Email Address" http://wordpress.org/support/topic/185889#post-810700 Tue, 22 Jul 2008 05:43:58 +0000 mbeazley 810700@http://wordpress.org/support/ I'm having a similar issue. The email that my subscribers are receiving is not the same as what is set in the PROFILE or SETTINGS > GENERAL locations. Both of those are set to: <a href="mailto:support@mydomain.com">support@mydomain.com</a>. pclove on "Changing the Admin Sending Email Address" http://wordpress.org/support/topic/185889#post-793328 Mon, 30 Jun 2008 16:14:54 +0000 pclove 793328@http://wordpress.org/support/ Both of those settings are set to the address I want to use. I have read that WP likes to use the address wordpress@[domain].com, which is too generic for me. A manual WP install, rather than one installed with a hosting script, does exactly what I want. When WP is installed with a script, it takes info from the hosting provider, such as admin email and mail server info. Could this be an issue of the sending server? If so, where can I change that from localhost to the mail server for the address I want to use? Still looking... VelvetBlues.com on "Changing the Admin Sending Email Address" http://wordpress.org/support/topic/185889#post-793309 Mon, 30 Jun 2008 15:56:14 +0000 VelvetBlues.com 793309@http://wordpress.org/support/ This could just be a settings problem... Check the email address that is used under your settings tab. In WordPress 2.5+ you can find it under Settings->General. This may be different from the email address that you set up in your admin profile. (Also check Settings->Writing. Some plugins might use that email address.) pclove on "Changing the Admin Sending Email Address" http://wordpress.org/support/topic/185889#post-793304 Mon, 30 Jun 2008 15:52:23 +0000 pclove 793304@http://wordpress.org/support/ I installed WordPress from a script from my hosting provider via SimpleScripts. If someone registers on my blog, the email is sent from the admin email that is set in the WP Admin panel. When I use a certain plugin, friendsroll, emails are sent from the admin email address on my hosting account, which has nothing to do with my blog name. I want to change the sending address from <a href="mailto:xxx@hostmonster.com">xxx@hostmonster.com</a> to an address that I designate. I've looked through all of the php files and the databases, but I'm not sure which files or DBs or tables to look through. I have talked to the plugin creator and he has no idea. I've also spoken with my hosting provider and they have no idea either. Please help me!
