Registration email shows incorrect “From:”

All,

I’m sorry to bump, but I really need help here.

From what I understand the “From” email address that people see when they register as users on my blog is the admin email in my blog options.

I have set and reset this several times, checked the DB (it’s in there) and yet my hosts email ([email protected]) still appears as the “From” address.

Is there a way I can hard code this into the PHP?

Maybe a WordPress Guru has the answer?

What version of WordPress?

If I am not mistaken (which I often am), I think this has something to do with how your host set up the php mail function.

hmmm,

I tried the changes as set out by MichaelH but still no joy. I will contact my host to see what happens.

I am officially an idiot. The solution offerred by MichaelH worked. But only after I removed the “+” from the code before “From:”.

Like a bumbling newbie coder I just assumed that it was part of the PHP syntax and left it in. It wasn’t unitl I actually played with code the code that I realised I was a fool.

Thanks to all for your help and sugegstions…. Now go and join cafegeek.com and review some cafes.


function wp_mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers = '') {
if( $headers == '' ) {
$headers = "MIME-Version: 1.0n" .
+ "From: " . get_settings('admin_email') . "n";
"Content-Type: text/plain; charset=\"" . get_settings('blog_charset') . "\"n";
}
