    (Thought I might ought to post this here now that I see this is where these kinds of requests seem to be going)

    Is there a way to change the from person in the email sent out to new users to something other than “wordpress”? I would also like to change the comments sent in the email to the new user. No it is not the main admin account email address that this “new user” with password email is sent from. Scanned through the code quickly and searched here a lot – nothing.

    Has someone changed this?

    Thanks a bunch!

    I could not do like that.:-(

    Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING ……

    Once I change, I receive that error message.
    Similar thing happened when I modified wordpress.com link to my URL on register page , that is , wp-register.php

    Any help, please

    Make sure you use normal quote marks like this: “, and edit the file with a plain text editor.

    The error suggests you may have a string that isn’t closed properly…

    Thank you for your prompt response.

    I didn’t modify too much.
    On wp-register.php

    <body>
    <div id=”login”>
    <h1>WordPress</h1>
    <h2><?php _e(‘Register for this blog’) ?></h2>
    <?php if ( isset($errors) ) : ?>
    <div class=”error”>

    I just replace wordpress.org with my domain.

    AND

    On wp-includes/pluggable-functions.php

    I just change wordpress@ to mydomain@

    Similar errors came out.
    I saw some people on this forum did those successful, I think

    Thanks
