Administration Email Address

    So is it possible to get the Administration Email Address request to be fixed? I am trying to get the email so that I can update the email address for this and it’s always pending.

    I researched this and I see this same request from 2 years ago.

    Unfortunately all the people that really understood WordPress at my company are gone and I am learning from the beginning. So all these backdoor steps are not helpful. Can the issue just be fixed?

    That would be nice, but…. If you want it done sooner rather than later, use PHPMYADMIN from your hosting control panel to open the database table “wp_options” and edit the email address in the row with the key “admin_email”, or use <site>/wp-admin/options.php

    I’m pretty sure there’s a trac ticket on this (core.trac.www.ads-software.com) but the search is not finding it for me.

    So I am so new to this I have no idea this PHPMYADMIN and where the hosting control panel is. I keep seeing that as the solution but all the links on where to go and what to do is overwhelming and confusing. I guess I was just trying to report this in the “fixing wordpress” section cause it would be nice to have the function do what it should do. Thanks I will just have to check for everything manually until I can figure out these steps everyone keeps saying.

    Use the “/options.php” trick and you won’t have to figure out your hosting. Your site (if it’s the one in your forum profile) is hosted on the Amazon cloud, but that doesn’t really say who the host is.
