Descrizione
By default WordPress sends every email from wordpress@yourdomain.com with the
sender name WordPress. Recipients see an address nobody recognises, and spam
filters treat it with suspicion.
This plugin changes the WordPress sender email and the from name. Two fields, one
settings page, nothing else to configure.
What it changes
- The from email address on every email WordPress sends
- The from name shown in the recipient’s inbox
It applies to password resets, new user notifications, comment notifications, and
email from contact form and WooCommerce plugins that send through WordPress.
How it works
The plugin hooks the standard wp_mail_from and wp_mail_from_name filters. No
files are modified and nothing is stored beyond the two settings. Deactivate it
and WordPress returns to its own defaults immediately.
What it does not do
It does not send email itself. If your email is not arriving at all, the problem
is delivery rather than the sender address, and you need an SMTP plugin. Changing
the from address helps with how your email looks, and is often enough to keep it
out of spam, but it cannot fix a server that is failing to send.

FAQ
-
How do I change the WordPress from email address?
-
Go to Settings, then WP Default Mail. Enter the address you want in the Sender
Mail ID field and save. Every email WordPress sends then comes from that address. -
How do I change the sender name on WordPress emails?
-
The same screen has a Sender Name field. Whatever you enter there replaces
“WordPress” in the recipient’s inbox. -
Does this work with Contact Form 7, WPForms or WooCommerce?
-
Yes, for any plugin that sends through WordPress itself. Those plugins call
wp_mail(), and this plugin filters the sender on that call. A plugin that sends
through its own SMTP connection, bypassing WordPress, sets its own sender. -
Will this stop my emails going to spam?
-
Often it helps. A recognisable from address at your own domain looks far less
suspicious than wordpress@yourdomain. It is not a complete answer on its own:
spam filtering also depends on the SPF and DKIM records for your domain. -
My emails are not arriving at all. Will this fix that?
-
No. That is a delivery problem, not a sender problem. Use an SMTP plugin to route
your email through a real mail server, and use this plugin alongside it to control
how the sender appears. -
What happens if I leave the fields empty?
-
WordPress uses its own defaults. The plugin only steps in once you have set an
address, and it ignores an address that is not valid. -
Does it work on multisite?
-
Yes. Settings are per site, so each site in the network has its own sender.

Changelog
2.2.1
- Rewrote the plugin listing so people searching for “change sender email” or
“from email address” can actually find it. No change to how the plugin works. - The plugin is now called Change Sender Email – From Name and From Address.
Your settings, and the plugin folder, are untouched.
2.2.0
- Fixed: on a site that had not saved any settings yet, outgoing mail was sent
with an empty From address and an empty sender name, and two PHP warnings
were raised on every message. The plugin now leaves WordPress’s own values
in place until a sender is configured, and ignores an invalid address. - Updated the bundled Freemius SDK from 2.5.6 to 2.13.4, which resolves the
PHP 8.2 to 8.5 deprecation notices raised on every page load. - Tested up to WordPress 7.1. Declared a minimum of PHP 7.0.
2.1.0
- Improvements in security best practices
- Added support for opt in signup option for updates
2.0
- Stores default sender name from blog name and email ID as support@yourwebsite.com
- Improvements in security best practices
