It may no longer be maintained or supported and may have compatibility issues when used with more recent versions of WordPress. ![](https://ps.w.org/cb-change-mail-sender/assets/icon-256x256.png?rev=2880610) # Change Mail Sender By [Syed Balkhi](https://profiles.wordpress.org/smub/) [Download](https://downloads.wordpress.org/plugin/cb-change-mail-sender.1.3.0.zip) * [Details](https://wordpress.org/plugins/cb-change-mail-sender/#description) * [Reviews](https://wordpress.org/plugins/cb-change-mail-sender/#reviews) * [Installation](https://wordpress.org/plugins/cb-change-mail-sender/#installation) * [Development](https://wordpress.org/plugins/cb-change-mail-sender/#developers) [Support](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/cb-change-mail-sender/) ## 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](https://wordpress.org/plugins/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. ## Screenshots [⌊Plugin Settings⌉⌊Plugin Settings⌉[ Plugin Settings [⌊Changed From Name in the received email⌉⌊Changed From Name in the received email⌉[ Changed From Name in the received email ## Installation 1.

Root menu item is a bit unnecessary, though.](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/does-a-great-job-root-menu-item-is-a-bit-unnecessary-though/)󠁿 [Daan van den Bergh](https://profiles.wordpress.org/daanvandenbergh/) September 15, 2020 1 reply 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. ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/14f54db40ea888f18864377eccc214004d45ced6a2b970b4731b25de5a3abe4c? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Awesome Stuff!!!](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/awesome-stuff-44/)󠁿 [Jermaine](https://profiles.wordpress.org/hondo86/) September 7, 2020 1 reply Worked perfectly!
