    I need to know how I can change the “From” field in the email that is received to my own email address instead of WordPress. I found multiple answers to this as to change the “From” field in my form to the below:

    Sender Name <[email protected]>

    but that is not working for me. I’ve also tried using the shortcode for [your-name] as well with no luck. Can someone point me in the right direction please?

    I get the below error message when trying to send the form when I try the above:

    Failed to send your message. Please try later or contact the administrator by another method.

    It works if I leave the “From” field as only my email address but it comes through with WordPress as the sender and I need to know how to change that.

    Nevermind, I Figured it out. It was not the “From” field that was giving me the error, it was something I accidentally changed in the Message Body. OK TO DELETE!
