Title: notifyheaders Sender Name / Filter From: Last modified: April 20, 2017 --- # notifyheaders Sender Name / Filter From: * Resolved [guiberlin](https://wordpress.org/support/users/guiberlin/) * (@guiberlin) * [9 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/notifyheaders-sender-name-filter-from/) * Hi there, * thank you for the great plugin first of all šŸ™‚ * Iā€™ve been fighting for a few hours now and donā€™t manage to get what Iā€™d like to achieve. * Basically I would like to have the name and the email of the uploader in the ā€œ Fromā€ notification email (that way, we automatically create a ticket in our ticket system). * In the notifiyheaders it works but only with a ā€œfixā€ name and email: * notifyheaders=ā€From: Bob is ok * notifyheaders=ā€From: %userdata3% <%userdata4%> All seems fine, no error message BUT I never get the notification email. * I tried all the combination I could think of but without success so far. * My %userdata4% is the email adress and I know it works. If I use it in the email recipient field, it is sent to the email entered by the uploader in the form. * Iā€™d be really thankful for some help šŸ™‚ * Guillaume Viewing 8 replies - 1 through 8 (of 8 total) * Plugin Author [nickboss](https://wordpress.org/support/users/nickboss/) * (@nickboss) * [9 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/notifyheaders-sender-name-filter-from/#post-9051897) * Hi, * Are you trying to put variables inside the headers? Unfortunately this is not supported. However you can do it with a hook. Here it is how: * 1. Go to pluginā€™s section in Dashboard, in Hooks tab and add a new hook. 2. Give it any title you want. 3. Put the following code in the Code box: * ``` if (!function_exists('wfu_before_email_notification_handler')) { function wfu_before_email_notification_handler($changable_data, $additional_data) { $changable_data["headers"] = "From: ".$changable_data["user_data"][2]["value"]." <".$changable_data["user_data"][3]["value"].">"; return $changable_data; } add_filter('wfu_before_email_notification', 'wfu_before_email_notification_handler', 10, 2); } ``` * 4. Set Status to Active and Save. * You are done (hopefully). * If you do not have the Pro version that supports hooks, simply put the code at the end of your functions.php file. * Regards * Nickolas * Thread Starter [guiberlin](https://wordpress.org/support/users/guiberlin/) * (@guiberlin) * [9 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/notifyheaders-sender-name-filter-from/#post-9060857) * Hi Nickolas, * it worked perfectly! * Thank you very much for the fast and excellent support. * I just bought the pro version. * Have a lovely day. * Guillaume * [Lisa Thompson](https://wordpress.org/support/users/lisaweb/) * (@lisaweb) * [9 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/notifyheaders-sender-name-filter-from/#post-9074862) * I was just going to ask about this when I saw the answer here. Thanks from me too! * [Lisa Thompson](https://wordpress.org/support/users/lisaweb/) * (@lisaweb) * [9 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/notifyheaders-sender-name-filter-from/#post-9076359) * We bought the Pro Version, and I just tried to creating a hook with the code above. But I am getting the following error: * > Hook has been saved but cannot be activated because the code contains errors. > Please check its syntax. * My data fields are different, the Name is %userdata1% and the Email is %userdata2%, so I changed the reference numbers in the code based on that (see below) but I am still getting that error. Any idea what might be causing it? Thanks. * ``` if (!function_exists('wfu_before_email_notification_handler')) { function wfu_before_email_notification_handler($changable_data, $additional_data) { $changable_data["headers"] = "From: ".$changable_data["user_data"][1]["value"]." <".$changable_data["user_data"][2]["value"].">"; return $changable_data; } add_filter('wfu_before_email_notification', 'wfu_before_email_notification_handler', 10, 2); } ``` * Plugin Author [nickboss](https://wordpress.org/support/users/nickboss/) * (@nickboss) * [9 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/notifyheaders-sender-name-filter-from/#post-9077427) * Hi, I think the code is Ok. The problem is that the security settings of your website do not allow the plugin to check the code for errors. * Please go to Settings and activate option ā€œModSecurity Restrictionsā€. This will make the hook work. * Nickolas * [sukhjeet](https://wordpress.org/support/users/sukhjeet/) * (@sukhjeet) * [9 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/notifyheaders-sender-name-filter-from/#post-9139950) * Hello need a help on this I have implemented same in the function.php but still that finction doenot get call * Plugin Author [nickboss](https://wordpress.org/support/users/nickboss/) * (@nickboss) * [9 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/notifyheaders-sender-name-filter-from/#post-9145321) * Hi, can you please send me the code? * [sukhjeet](https://wordpress.org/support/users/sukhjeet/) * (@sukhjeet) * [9 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/notifyheaders-sender-name-filter-from/#post-9147947) * [@nickboss](https://wordpress.org/support/users/nickboss/) thank for your response * Now i have just solved it out * Thank you.:-) Viewing 8 replies - 1 through 8 (of 8 total) The topic ā€˜notifyheaders Sender Name / Filter From:ā€™ is closed to new replies. * ![](https://ps.w.org/wp-file-upload/assets/icon-256x256.png?rev=3252590) * [Iptanus File Upload](https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-file-upload/) * [Frequently Asked Questions](https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-file-upload/#faq) * [Support Threads](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/wp-file-upload/) * [Active Topics](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/wp-file-upload/active/) * [Unresolved Topics](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/wp-file-upload/unresolved/) * [Reviews](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/wp-file-upload/reviews/) * 8 replies * 4 participants * Last reply from: [sukhjeet](https://wordpress.org/support/users/sukhjeet/) * Last activity: [9 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/notifyheaders-sender-name-filter-from/#post-9147947) * Status: resolved
