Edit Email details from WordPress

[mikestar]

Hi,

I have activated low inventory notification on woocommerce settings. When the product quantity was low, I received an email about low product quantity, but the email sender name was “WordPress” and email ID was “[email protected]”. How to edit the sender name and email id from which these emails are sent?

I want to avoid using a plugin for this as there are already so many plugins, is there a way to edit the details manually?

Some sites suggest to add the following code to the theme’s functions.php file:

// Function to change email address
 
function wpb_sender_email( $original_email_address ) {
    return ’[email protected]’;
}
 
// Function to change sender name
function wpb_sender_name( $original_email_from ) {
    return ‘Your Name’;
}
 
// Hooking up our functions to WordPress filters
add_filter( ‘wp_mail_from’, ‘wpb_sender_email’ );
add_filter( ‘wp_mail_from_name’, ‘wpb_sender_name’ );

Can you please confirm the right way? Or would you suggest a plugin?

Thanks!

EDIT: I have not implemented SMTP plugin yet. Would this solve the problem? http://support.janstudio.net/forums/topic/contact-form-not-working/#post-14687

Yes, I had already changed that default name and email under woocommerce email settings. Most emails are coming as per updated email and name. But few emails(like low inventory notification) are still coming from ‘WordPress’ name and wordpress@mydomain

Is the email send to your email notification about low stock or the email send to your customer about low stock?

Hi Harry,

That has not worked.  Today I received a ‘New user Registration’ email from ‘WordPress’ and [email protected] to the admin email.

Any other solution?

Hi Mikestar,

Could you check config of plugin https://wordpress.org/plugins/pirate-forms/ is it use “[email protected]”

Checked, Pirate forms is not using [email protected]

Any other solutions?

Could you send us new account to login your site. I tried old account but can’t access you site. I need closer check to help you solve this.

Thanks

Hi Mikestar,

I saw you use gmail. You can follow this video to use gmail to send email https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kmqMmKfoblM

Now we used gmail and plugin https://wordpress.org/plugins/gmail-smtp/ for our support site.

Best regards!

Hi Harry,

Just to clarify, I use gmail only as recipient email. Therefore I believe gmail smtp may not solve the problem.

Moreover, if you could go to the frontend of the site and register as a customer, the email you would receive is from name “MySite” and email “[email protected]” and even the orders etc.

P.S. Hey, I now just tried adding the following code in functions.php and this has worked. :

// Function to change email address
 
function wpb_sender_email( $original_email_address ) {
    return ‘[email protected]’;
}
 
// Function to change sender name
function wpb_sender_name( $original_email_from ) {
    return ‘MySite’;
}
 
// Hooking up our functions to WordPress filters
add_filter( ‘wp_mail_from’, ‘wpb_sender_email’ );
add_filter( ‘wp_mail_from_name’, ‘wpb_sender_name’ );
