Sending email displays Wordpress as sender

Question

I set up an emailform in PHP and send it through WORDPRESS. I thought I had everything covered but apparently it keeps displaying WORDPRESS as the sender instead of

Answer 1

Add a wp_mail_from_name filter as described in docs to set the sender name.

add_filter( 'wp_mail_from_name', 'custom_wp_mail_from_name' );
function custom_wp_mail_from_name( $original_email_from ) {
    return 'MyWebSite';
}

Or if you want to automatically substitute a site name

add_filter( 'wp_mail_from_name', 'custom_wp_mail_from_name' );
function custom_wp_mail_from_name( $original_email_from ) {
    return get_option('blogname');;
}
