To change the default admin email in WordPress, you can follow these steps:
-
Log in to your WordPress dashboard using your admin credentials.
-
Once you're logged in, navigate to the "Settings" section on the left-hand side of the dashboard menu and click on "General."
-
On the General Settings page, locate the "Email Address" field under the "Site Administration" section.
-
Modify the email address in the "Email Address" field to the new email address you want to set as the default admin email.
-
Once you've made the necessary changes, scroll down to the bottom of the page.
-
Click on the "Save Changes" button to save the updated admin email.
WordPress will now update the default admin email address to the one you specified. This email address will be used for administrative purposes, including system notifications, password resets, and other important communications.
It's essential to ensure that the new admin email address is valid and accessible, as it may receive important notifications related to your WordPress website. Regularly monitoring this email address is important to stay informed about updates, user registrations, and other site-related activities.
If you encounter any issues receiving emails or want to customize email settings further, you may need to consider using a plugin or consult your hosting provider for guidance on email configuration.
