WordPress Change default mail sender

Robert

When you install a new WordPress blog, WordPress stores the email address that you provide during the initial setup and uses it on all outgoing email notifications. To keep it professional, you can change it to a different email of your choice by using this snippet.

How to Change default mail sender in WordPress

In functions.php file of your WordPress theme, simply paste the following code and change the email and domain name to reflect your actual information:

function new_email_from()
{
return 'name@yourdomain.com';
}

function new_email_from_name()
{
return 'Your Domain name';
}

add_filter('wp_mail_from', 'new_email_from');
add_filter('wp_mail_from_name', 'new_email_from_name');

Your turn!
