  I want to put a contact form on my wordpress blog, but I don’t want the emails to be sent to the email address I used to register with wordpress. I would like to send them to another email created specifically for this, so when I reply to these emails, my personal email address won’t be revealed. Is there a way to do this without changing the my email in the settings? I would still like to get email from the wordpress site such as support responses in my personal email. Is there a way to change the CSS for the contact form to send to another email? I am inexperienced in CSS.

  Thanks.

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  WordPress will always use the email address you have set up under settings > general (the admin email).

  You could instead make a contact page and then use one of the options in this blog post at onecoolsite to obscure the email address you want people to use. That would prevent spammers from getting it.

  Alright, thank you, I may try one of those. So there’s no way to do what I described?

  You’re welcome, and no there is not.
