Repository metrics are context, not quality scores. Active installations measure adoption and can strongly reflect a plugin’s age and historical popularity. Ratings, recent updates and “Tested up to” metadata also do not guarantee modern code, error-free operation, security, feature completeness or suitability for a particular site.

Overview

About this plugin

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.
