This was just one extra line: RewriteCond %{HTTPS} =off RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/directory/ RewriteRule […]

add_filter(‘wp_mail_from’, function($email){ return str_replace(‘wordpress@’, ‘webmaster@’, $email ); }); add_filter(‘wp_mail_from_name’, function($name){ return $name === ‘WordPress’ ? get_bloginfo(‘name’) : $name; }); Here’s a version that uses the admin email set in in wordpress settings.
