Wp mail smtp change from email

To change the SMTP settings in WordPress to use a different email address, you'll need to update the wp_mail function in your WordPress installation. Here's a step-by-step guide to help you do so:

Method 1: Using the WordPress Settings

1. Log in to your WordPress dashboard.
2. Go to Settings > General.
3. Scroll down to the Email Address field and update the email address to the one you want to use.
4. Click Save Changes.

Method 2: Using the wp_mail function

1. Open your WordPress theme's functions.php file (or create a new file in the wp-content/mu-plugins directory if you don't have a theme).
2. Add the following code to update the wp_mail function:

   function custom_wp_mail($args) {
    $args['from'] = '[email protected]'; // Update the email address here
    return $args;
   }
   add_filter('wp_mail', 'custom_wp_mail');

   Replace [email protected] with the email address you want to use.

Method 3: Using a plugin

1. Install and activate a plugin like WP Mail SMTP or Easy WP SMTP.
2. Configure the plugin to use your desired email address.

Important notes:

• Make sure to update the email address in the wp_mail function or plugin settings to reflect the new email address you want to use.
• If you're using a plugin, ensure that it's compatible with your WordPress version and theme.
• If you're updating the wp_mail function, be cautious when modifying code, as it may affect other plugins or themes that rely on the default email settings.

After updating the email address, test your WordPress installation by sending a test email to ensure that the changes have taken effect.
