    Hi Guys,

    The title pretty much says it all.

    I’ve just setup a user registration system for content on my site and I don’t want my emails to be from ‘WordPress’.

    Is there a way to set it as my blog name?

    Thanks.

    you could use a plugin, for instance: http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/new-user-email-set-up/
    (i do not use any myself)

    or, you could put some code like this into functions.php of your theme:

    //notification mail email and name change

add_filter('wp_mail_from','custom_email_from');

function custom_email_from($mail) {
// use the original admin email for notifications; adjust the number for different user id
$user_info = get_userdata(1);
$email = $user_info->user_email;
if($email) $mail = $email;
return $mail;
}

add_filter('wp_mail_from_name','custom_email_from_name');

function custom_email_from_name($name) {
// set a custom name for notifications
$name = 'put your name here';
return $name;
}

    I’ll try the code to keep the resources down!

    Thanks.
