[Plugin: WordPress Form Manager] Remove "WordPress" from "From:" field?

    First of all, hoffcamp, your plugin is awesome. It took a little getting used to, but it’s working flawlessly now.

    I have custom email notifications set up, and their working great. The only problem is, I would like my incoming emails to show up with the name of the person submitting the form in the “From” field. Here’s the code I’m using currently:

    @start
To: [email protected]
From: [item clientname]
Reply-To: [item clientemail]
Subject: My Chosen Subject Line Here.

MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-type: text/html

@message start
[template summary]
@message end
@end

    When I get the email notification it shows up as “From: WordPress <User’s Name>”.

    Is there a way to have it set up so that my emails appear to come from “From: User’s Name” instead? Essentially I just want to remove the WordPress wrapper from that particular field.

    The ‘From’ field is supposed to be an e-mail address. If you put the email address in the ‘Joe Schmoe <[email protected]>’ format, you should be all set: 

    From: [item clientname] <[item clientemail]>
Reply-To: [item clientname] <[item clientemail]>

    That did the trick. Thank you!

    Ok, so, I had trouble with this initially and thought this may help those who needed more instructions…

    So, I am assuming you have already created your contact form with WordPress Form Manager and are getting contact forms sent to your administrator address, but when you want to reply to those comments, it is putting YOUR email address in the reply section, rather than the person’s email who contacted you, which isn’t TERRIBLE, but it is a little inconvenient if you get a lot of emails.

    So, go to the form that you made, click to edit. On the above tabs, click on FORM EXTRA. Then, you make a nickname for each of your labels which you already created when making the form (labels, such as Your Name, Your Email, Comments, etc.) Now, call these nicknames something like “clientname, clientemail, etc.

    Now, go to the advanced settings tab. And tick the box that says “use custom email notifications. In the box below it, paste in the info below. Notice that the info in the Reply-to: area below has those nicknames you made earlier.

    @start
    To: [admin email]
    From: [admin email]
    Reply-To: [item clientname] <[item clientemail]>
    Subject: [item subject]

    MIME-Version: 1.0
    Content-type: text/html

    @message start
    [template summary]
    @message end
    @end

    So, basically, the email comes to you, from you, but you reply to the person who contacted you via the contact form. That is what I, personally, needed. Hope this helps someone! ??
