    Hi. I wonder if anyone can help me to change network admin email on my WordPress Multisite implemented using AWS Lightsail. Btw, I am not a coder, I implemented this installation using many guides available on Google.

    I have tried various way to change the network admin email from [email protected]
    to my own email but I couldn’t get it done.

    I have ran;

    mysql -u root -p bitnami_wordpress -e “SELECT * FROM wp_users;”

    in the bitnami console and it only show 1 user exist which is my own email (not [email protected]).

    Does anyone experience this issue and found a solution?

  • Not sure why you’re messing around with the backend. Just log in to your site and change it in your profile.

    The reason being I am unable to change the network administration email in the network settings. It says “There is a pending change of the network admin email to [my email] and I am unable to receive any email to confirm and verify the new email change.

    OK, that makes sense now.

    Personally, I’d just change it via phpMyAdmin in that case.

    If you don’t already have access to phpMyAdmin install the WP plugin (https://www.ads-software.com/plugins/wp-phpmyadmin-extension/) and change it in the wp_users table.

    Then look into your email issue – guessing there is one from you saying “I am unable to receive any email to confirm and verify the new email change.”. If so, and you are having problems, perhaps install an SMTP plugin. I use this one https://www.ads-software.com/plugins/post-smtp/.

    @cebuss

    Thank you for guidance. I have installed phpmyadmin plugin and managed to change network admin email.

    As for SMTP, I will figure out later.

    Thank you again, really appreciate it.

    No problem, glad to hear you resolved the immediate issue.
