Description

Do you want to change the WordPress default from email address and from name?

This is the plugin for you! It allows you to change the from email address and name for all emails sent from your WordPress site.

Are your WordPress emails not being delivered?

If you have issues with email deliverability, then just changing the from email address and name will usually not resolve the issue.

In order to fix your WordPress emails not reaching your inbox, we suggest installing the WP Mail SMTP plugin.

WP Mail SMTP is trusted by more than 3 million websites. It will fix the deliverability problems with one of your favourite email providers: Gmail, Outlook, SendLayer, Mailgun, and many more.

  2. Activate Change Mail Sender.

FAQ

How to configure this plugin?

Does a great job. Root menu item is a bit unnecessary, though.

It does one job, and it does it great! Since it’s a set and forget option, it doesn’t need its own root menu item. Grouping it under settings, or even under Settings > General, where the other email’s are set, would be a much better place.

Awesome Stuff!!!

Works like a charms. Barakallahu feek!

Does the job but why does it need its own root menu!?

Anonymous User 6087458 July 31, 2020 1 reply
I hate plugins that add a root menu. it’s totally unnecessary and rather egotistical. Please please make it appear in the settings submenu or even better integrate into an existing WP options screen.

simple, works on wp 5.4 BUT

nice very simple plugin, but i would prefer having the settings within the Settings sections and not having a separate section for such a small feature.

Not working on 5.3.2
