Hi @aethon,
I understand that you want to change the “From Email” for the Weekly WPForms Summary Emails. We don’t currently have a built-in feature for this.
However, you should be able to change the “From Email” address for summary emails using a code snippet like this one:
/**
* This function runs right before the WPForms summary email is generated.
* It adds a filter to change the default 'From' address.
*/
function wpf_add_summary_from_address_filter() {
add_filter( 'wpforms_emails_mailer_get_from_address', 'wpf_set_custom_summary_from_address' );
}
// Hook before the WPForms function runs (priority < 10).
add_action( 'wpforms_email_summaries_cron', 'wpf_add_summary_from_address_filter', 5 );
/**
* This is the callback function that actually sets our desired 'From' address.
*
* @param string $from_address The original 'From' address.
* @return string The new 'From' address.
*/
function wpf_set_custom_summary_from_address( $from_address ) {
// --> IMPORTANT: Change this to your desired sending email address.
// This should be an address on your domain, e.g., 'no-reply@your-domain.com'.
return 'wordpress@your-domain.com';
}
/**
* This function runs after the WPForms summary email has been sent.
* It removes our custom filter to ensure it doesn't affect any other emails.
*/
function wpf_remove_summary_from_address_filter() {
remove_filter( 'wpforms_emails_mailer_get_from_address', 'wpf_set_custom_summary_from_address' );
}
// Hook after the WPForms function has run (priority > 10).
add_action( 'wpforms_email_summaries_cron', 'wpf_remove_summary_from_address_filter', 20 );
This ensures the emails are sent from a valid address on your domain (like noreply@yourdomain.com) instead of the WordPress admin’s email.
In case it helps, here’s our tutorial with the most common ways to add custom code like this.
For the most beginner-friendly option in that tutorial, I’d recommend using the WPCode plugin.
I hope that helps!
Hi @aethon,
We haven’t heard back from you in a few days, so I’m going to go ahead and close this thread for now. But if you’d like us to assist further, please feel welcome to continue the conversation.
Thanks!
