WordPress - Change Default Email Address Plugin
This WordPress plugin changes the default email address that all notifications sent from your blog are addressed from. The default address for all emails sent by your blog is currently wordpress@ yoursite.com.
I had seen some tutorials / forum entries previously where people suggested editing the core WordPress file 'pluggable.php' to overide this default. This method does work, however you would have to repeat the hack every time you upgrade to a new version of WordPress so it is not an ideal solution.
Faced with this problem for a site I was working on recently, I wrote this basic plugin which allows you to configure your own email address in the format: Your Name <yourname@yoursite.com>.
Installation:
- Upload the file wp_change_default_email.php to your wp-content/plugins folder
- Activate the plugin from the Plugins page in WordPress
Usage:
- In the Plugins page in WordPress click the edit button next to the plugin in the list.
- Scroll down until you see a note saying 'Configure it'
- Enter your name and email as shown
- If you don't enter a new address the default 'wordpress@' will remain

Works great - thank you!

Is there a newer version than 0.1? I upgraded to WordPress 2.6.1 and the Plugins area is telling me that there is a new version, but the new version links to:
GALLERY LIGHTBOX PLUGIN
http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wp-25-gallery-lightbox-plugin/
Also, just an FYI, version 0.1 now conflicts with the Subscribe2 plugin.
Very handy little plug-in, works like a charm, thanks.
I’m experiencing a little weirdness, though. I downloaded it from your site. When I install it, it works fine but I get an alert telling me there’s a new version 1.3 (the code says “Version 0.1″) and the link to get the new version points at http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wp-25-gallery-lightbox-plugin/ which is clearly wrong. The “Upgrade automatically” option doesn’t work either, with the error mentioning wp-25-gallery.
Since it works, the only reason I care is I don’t want the little orange flag over “Plugins” in my dashboard, but seems like something you’d want to know.
wordpress 2.5
not working for me, i made the two changes , name and email to the php file, verified the changes were saved in the php file, but it continues to send wordpress and wordpress@domain
