WordPress Email from Address

Just a quick from me today.

WordPress is pretty good, but one thing that always was a little strange was the way your site emails always came from “wordpress@mydomain.com” instead of being able to set it yourself.

Open up your themes functions.php bang this in and edit as per your needs and your done!

add_filter('wp_mail_from', 'custom_mail_from');
add_filter('wp_mail_from_name', 'custom_mail_from_name');

function custom_mail_from($old) {
 return 'howdy@myawesomedomain.com';
}
function custom_mail_from_name($old) {
 return 'I own you WP';
}
