Changing “WordPress” as sender name
-
In the From field, I use an email address that belongs to the same domain as the website. I have done this because I got the well know error message from the Configuration Validator: “This email address does not belong to the same domain as the site”
I also added “Reply-To: [your-email]” in the additional fields and everything is working fine again.
Only problem is that an email send from my contactform now has “WordPress” as the sender name. When I hit reply my mail-client fills in the correct mail address, that is not the problem. But I like to change the sender name from “WordPress” into the real name that the real sender filled in on the contactform.
So I changed the “From” setting like this:
first it was like this:
[email protected]now I have changed it into this:
[your-name] <[email protected]>After this change the sender name is the correct one, not “WordPress”anymore. So this seems to solve my problem but I am still a bit unsure if I have done the right thing like this? Will this cause any other problems or is it just good to do it this way?
