WordPress MU

I know that several of the activation/signup emails are located in wpmu-functions.php and while I know it's not the preferred method, I updated some of the text there.

When testing out the registration functions, I found the text for the emails with the registration information have been updated. But not the activation email, even though I changed that text also.

Is there another location for activation/signup email text?

wp-activate.php I think.

yeah, it's a bit scattered.

Thanks, Andrea. I checked and wp-activate.php contains the text that appears on your computer screen once you activate. Good thought, though.

Those activation messages are somewhere else.

Anyone?

I believe the file you want to change is pluggable.php in the /includes directory.

Line 352: $from_name = 'Wordpress'; #change this to the name you want

Line 369: $from_email = 'wordpress@' . $sitename; #change the portion before the "@" to what you want.

Changing these settings worked for me, however there is some descriptive text in the file that alludes to the idea that these are settings Wordpress defaults to if the variables aren't defined elsewhere, so this change may not work for everyone.
