 * I need help in changing the default FROM address when a person receives their
   email confirmation when I manually register a new user.
 * Right now the default FROM address is [WORDPRESS@MyBlogDomain.com](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/registration-from-address/WORDPRESS@MyBlogDomain.com?output_format=md)
   and I’d like to change it to anything that I want.
 * Changing the Admin’s email address has no effect.
 * Any help would be appreciated.

 * It should be the one in admin -> Options -> General

 * I need the same thing. It’s not the admin->options->general email address…that’s
   only for receiving not sending.

 * You might want to look at the `wp_mail` function in `wp-includes/pluggable-functions.
   php` to see how WordPress handles the From:.

 * It might be something that needs to be overriden in the php.ini file…the sendmail
   section perhaps? Should be able to force a smtp from address though. Thanks for
   the tip I’ll look there.

 * MichaelH,
 * You were right! The wp_mail function in the pluggable-functions.php file is where
   this “From” is handled.
 * Thank you!!!
