Hi Nabils,

I did some checks on the wordpress docs to see how to modify the header for the FROM section and it should go like this.

$current_user = wp_get_current_user();
 $from = $current_user->user_email;
$headers[] = 'From: '.$from;

wp_mail( $to, $subject, $message, $headers );

So adopt your code to my example above.

Here is the reference document that i've been using to assist you.

Thanks,

Many thanks, the from email now shows the login user email. But still the from name shows wordpress.

Hi Nabils,

Can you send me a screenshot of this email so that I can see exactly what you are referring to ?

Thanks,

Hi Nabils,

I see the issue.

Can you change this line below from:

$headers[] = 'From: '.$from;

To:

$headers[] = 'From: Some Info <'. $from.'>';

This should be the expected format of the mail function.

Thanks,
Shane
