    I hope this is the correct place for this question. I’m not a developer, but can find my way around the database of my site. I purchased a domain and installed WP directly from GoDaddy’s platform. From what I’m researching and reading, it’s typical for there a code to be placed on the database with simple installs that will make send notifications as WordPress{at}yourwebsite{dot}com. I have my correct email listed in both user and settings, but my site is still sending emails from the WordPress email address of my site, that I never associated with my site.

    My question is: Where can I find the code within the database to change the WP email address that I do not desire?

    Any help would be AWESOME and great appreciated. 🙂

    I’m glad the plugin is working for you, it appears to offer several useful options. For the any coders that stumble on this thread trying to solve this problem who would rather not add yet another plugin to their installation, one can change the “From:” fields of system emails by hooking the ‘wp_mail_from’ and ‘wp_mail_from_name’ filters and returning the desired string for the sender’s email address and sender’s name respectively.
