You will notice that when you activate the register/login option in WordPress that all the emails that it generates, such as Forgotten Password, Register have the following email address WordPress@your_website.com as the sender. Not the best of ideas especially if you have a shop to run. So here is the solution without using a plugin.
1. In admin goto Appearance->Editor.
2. Then choose Theme Functions (functions.php) from the templates listing on the right.
3. Now add the following code at the bottom, remembering to change to your replacement email.
//notification mail email change
add_filter('wp_mail_from','custom_email_from');
function custom_email_from($mail) {
$mail = 'replacement_email@your_website.com'; // 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('wpurl');//or put your own text here
return $name;
}
