Emails showing as being sent from wordpress

    Hi guys I have picked up on a bug where as any emails being sent are being shown as from wordpress and not from my website.

    Being a custom website I would prefer users not to know that i’m using wordpress to run the website, plus it doesn’t look very professional.

    I was using WP Better emails plugin which fixed this issue, but it conflicts with the buddypress built in email features so have had to disable it to make every thing work as it should.

    Any ideas on how to show emails being sent as being sent from my website and not ‘wordpress’ ?

    Hi @jersey-peeps,

    i’m using wp-better-emails on a multisite BP install (lastest version) without any trouble. I changed the “from” field within this plugin admin.

    On a single WP install (lastest version), i use this from within child-theme’s functions.php
    So if you uninstalled better_emails, you could try these snippets. 

    //notification mail email change
add_filter('wp_mail_from','custom_email_from');
function custom_email_from($mail) {
	$mail = 'your@mail.name'; // Replace the email address here //
	return $mail;
}

//notification name change; optional
add_filter('wp_mail_from_name','custom_email_from_name');
function custom_email_from_name($name) {
	$name = get_bloginfo('YOUR SITE NAME');//put your own text here
	return $name;
}

    In hope it helps you. 😉

    Perhaps this is due to the new BP Email API?
    If so, try this for BP emails:

    add_action( 'bp_email', function( $email_type, $email_obj ) {
	$email_obj->set_from( "custom@example.com", "Custom Website Name" );
}, 10, 2 );

    And use Dan’s functions to handle WP emails.
