[Plugin: Contact Form 7] email from "WordPress" doesn't change

Hmmm,

I originally found your post because my auto response kept saying it was from “WordPress”, but showing my email i.e. [email protected].

I followed your format exactly, with “John Doe <[email protected]>” and it worked perfectly.

What I noticed was that in Gmail, because I had already received an auto response email just prior to making the change, it kept the name “WordPress.” I deleted the two emails and sent another inquiry through. Problem solved. It reads from “John Doe” now.

If you are using Gmail, try deleting the auto response emails you have received so far and do another test.

Hope this helps!
