bbPress should take the same name as all the others. There might be a bbPress related plugin that changes it ? (just a guess)
I’m personally using Postman SMTP and that one seems to suit my needs.

Hello,
I still need some code to change these 2 items, if you could help me come up with something, that would be great.
Hello,
I found some working code, could you please just check it to make sure it is 100% valid and I am not missing anything?
/*BBPress email fix*/
add_filter( 'wp_mail_from_name', 'email_sent_from_name' );
function email_sent_from_name( $name )
{
return 'SITE NAME';
}
add_filter( 'wp_mail_from', 'email_sent_from' );
function email_sent_from( $email )
{
return 'email@example.com';
}
Yes, I did replace the values with required ones such as the address and send from name.
Thanks.
THat code should work ! I used it about 2 years ago for a quick fix.
But if you need this code, it means there is somewhere a plugin that is doing strange things !
Hello,
Yes sort of. My email is redirected to Office 365, now on my old host when this happened, I could not use the internal php mail function, it had to be an SMTP account on a sub domain that was not redirected over to Office 365. Although it is not required where I am now, it seems that using SMTP is safer.
I had to change the sending address and name so BBPress would talk to the WP SMTP plugin if you know what I mean. Had to do the same for BuddyPress.
Thanks.
I fully understand the need for the SMTP plugin, I think we should all use it !
But I meant that if your standard FROM is changed, it probably means that there is another plugin somewhere manipulating it.
I had similar issues in the beginning and that why I switched to the other SMTP plugin mentioned above, but with this code, it should work too.
