[Plugin: Custom Contact Forms] Changing Sender Name…

  • When submitting the application, the “Sender” is showing as “Custom Contact Forms”.

    Is there any way to make this so that it will show the email is from their name that is entered in the form?

    I know that this may not be built into the plugin right now but it seems like something like this should be something pretty simple to edit… Even if it can’t use the customers Name, it would be great to know what to edit to change where it says “Custom Contact Forms” to something else…

    Thanks for the great plugin!

  • The author indicated this will be released in 4.1.0 and there is another thread about that where he replied. I posed the question when will this release be sent out. No reply on that yet.

    The plugin has now been updated to 4.5.

    Just wanted to find out if this query has now been resolved and if such a change is now possible?

    Thanks for the plugin!

    Can anyone tell me if this feature is available now? If not, do you have any idea to make this?

    I look forward to hearing from you soon!

    I too need a simple solution for this.

    For now, I have a hack if anyone is interested.

    Edit the following page in your plugin editor: custom-contact-forms-front.php

    Go to line 428 or find this line:
    $mail->FromName = ‘Custom Contact Forms’;

    Change to:
    $mail->FromName = ‘Whatever You Want’;

    That’s it!

    Good Luck!

    I too ran into this problem.

    Open custom-contact-forms-front.php.

    Go to line 428 or search for “FromName”:
    $mail->FromName = $_POST[‘fName’] . ” ” . $_POST[‘lName’];
    *Note that fName and lName are my custom slugs for my two name fields.

    Go to line 581 or search for “FromName”:
    $mail->FromName = $_POST[‘fName’] . ” ” . $_POST[‘lName’];
    *Note that fName and lName are my custom slugs for my two name fields.

    You can exchange this info for any data filled out in the form by using $_POST[‘slugName’] or hardcode any string like dfco said.

    Best if luck!
