Changing the default e-mail's from address

When you create your store, WooCommerce automatically uses the admin e-mail in WordPress as the default from address in e-mails. This is convenient for many users, but, you may want your site admin to only get admin e-mails and for someone else to get responses from customers. This can be done using one of the many WordPress hooks.

How to do it...

We'll need to add a little bit of code to modify the from address, by performing the following steps:

  1. Open up your theme's functions.php file or a custom WooCommerce plugin.
  2. At the bottom of the file, add the following code:
    add_filter( 'wp_mail_from', 'woocommerce_cookbook_wp_mail_from', 99 );

    This code tells WordPress that we want to change the standard from address in any e-mails sent. Now we need to actually write the function to do that.

  3. Add the following code beneath the preceding code:
    function woocommerce_cookbook_wp_mail_from() { 
    return html_entity_decode( '[email protected]' ); 
}

    This function returns an e-mail address in the correct format to replace the default. You can, of course, change [email protected] to whatever you want.

  4. Save and upload the file.

Now, any e-mails you or your customers receive from your website should use that new address.
