How to set custom from email address in wp

Question

I want to set a custom from email address for emails that are sent via a plugin. I don't want to change default email address. The following code is not working:

add_filter('wp_mail_from', 'new_mail_from');
add_filter('wp_mail_from_name', 'new_mail_from_name');

function new_mail_from($old) {
 return 'your email address';
}
function new_mail_from_name($old) {
 return 'your name or your website';
}

Answer 1

Please use this below code for sending emails in wordpress, which will change the from name.

$recipient_email = "[email protected]";
$subject ="Submission";
$message = "I have done a submission"; 
$headers = 'Content-type: text/html;charset=utf-8' . "\r\n"; 
$headers .= 'From: Mastic Technology Rebate <[email protected]>' . "\r\n";
wp_mail($recipient_email, $subject, $message, $headers);
