Running Form Maker Pro 2.3.1

How can we change the form so the 'From' email is the sender's email not: Wordpress (This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.)?

Tried Wp-Mail-SMTP.
That works for changing 'From' email address to static return address.
Don't see how to automatically have email sender inputs in form outputting as form's email address, so we can hit reply and respond to sender.

Ideas? Thanks, Robert

Andrew OFFLINE Fresh Boarder Posts: 4	Hi there. I have followed the instructions that were posted (overwritten the old version of front_end_form_maker.php with the version that was attached) and I've checked that I'm running version 2.3.1. However, I'm still receiving confirmation emails from This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.. Regards. Andy

ROBERT K OFFLINE Fresh Boarder Posts: 4	There must be a common theme to this problem with multiple people having the same problem. It appears we have all tried the solution and it doesn't seem to work, so what is the workaround that the moderator has found that we all could benefit from?

I found a super easy solution to this problem! It's a plug-in that changes this information in the wordpress functions file. It's called "Description: A quick and dirty plugin to change the wp_mail "from" address to be something other than This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.." I'm attaching the file as a .txt. Just change to .php. Edit the file with your email and name. Upload to your plugin directory and activate.

Visit the plug-in site for more info, butlerblog.com/2011/07/14/changing-the-w...dress-with-a-plugin/
