Welcome Message for Users comes from Hosting'

Hi,

I have a site using buddypress and when users register from the site they get the welcome message that can be edited through wordpress. However, the welcome email comes from my hosting package at bluehost. What I’m wondering is how to change this so that the welcome message is more personalized to my site.

wordpress version: 4.0
buddypress version: 2.1

Thanks!

Put these functions in your theme/functions.php file
and adjust the return values as necessary…
```
function dasfx3_new_mail_from_name($old) {
	return 'FilmMakers';
}
add_filter('wp_mail_from_name', 'dasfx3_new_mail_from_name');

function dasfx3_new_mail_from($old) {
	return 'support@filmmakersallianceburlington.com';
}
add_filter('wp_mail_from', 'dasfx3_new_mail_from');
```

BTW

I’m new to wordpress – how were you able to find my user name? Should I be concerned about this as a security risk?

Look at all your entries on this thread – below your ‘avatar’ and above Participant.

Re security – you mean using it in a function name? No.
