Ticket Email Sent from WordPress

By default, WordPress sends emails using the built-in wp_mail() function with a generic [email protected] sender. If you want to modify the sender email and name for Eventin’s ticket emails, you can use a third-party plugin like WP Mail SMTP or add custom code in the theme’s functions.php file.

Method 1: Using WP Mail SMTP Plugin #

WP Mail SMTP allows you to send emails via an SMTP server, improving deliverability and letting you customize the sender email.

Steps: #

1. Install and Activate WP Mail SMTP #

• Go to Plugins > Add New.
• Search for “WP Mail SMTP”.
• Install and activate the plugin.

2. Configure SMTP Settings #

• Navigate to WP Mail SMTP > Settings.
• Choose PHP mailer as the default mailer
• Set the From Email (e.g., [email protected]).
• Set the From Name (e.g., Your Brand Name).
• Save changes.

Method 2: Custom Code in functions.php #

If you prefer a code-based approach, you can modify the email headers for Eventin ticket emails directly in your theme’s functions.php file.

Steps: #

1. Open your theme’s functions.php file. or use any third party snippet plugin like “Code Snippets”
2. Add the following code to override the sender details and modify the parameter’s like the from_email, from_name etc.

add_filter( 'eventin_email_headers', 'modify_eventin_email_headers', 11 );
function modify_eventin_email_headers( $headers ) {
    $from_email  = '[email protected]';
    $from_name   = 'Your Brand Name';
    $reply_to_email = '[email protected]';

    $headers[] = 'From: ' . $from_name . ' <' . $from_email . '>';
    
    if ( ! empty( $reply_to_email ) ) {
        $headers[] = 'Reply-to: ' . $reply_to_email;
    }

    return $headers;
}

Conclusion #

By following either of these methods, you can ensure that Eventin ticket emails are sent from a professional email address rather than the default WordPress email. The WP Mail SMTP plugin is recommended for better email deliverability, while the custom code method provides a lightweight solution for developers.
