Change Admin Email Address in WordPress without Confirmation

The “Administrator Email Address” is set during the WordPress installation as the default management address. Initially, it is linked to the WordPress Login address and used as the recipient address for the default contact form. Changing this email address is typically only possible once the new email address is confirmed. WordPress sends an email to the new address containing a confirmation link. If the confirmation link is not clicked, the old email address remains the administrator email address.
Some clients are very busy, while others may be unsure about emails that seem technical. This can lead to unwanted scenarios. For example, the contact form. In this case, the administrator would receive all inquiries submitted through the contact form to their email address.
To change the administrator email address without the confirmation process, only a small change in the database is necessary. Follow these steps:

1. Open the corresponding database using PHPMyAdmin or Adminer.
2. Select the wp_options table.
3. Enter the new email address under admin_email.

That’s it! From now on, all administrative emails sent by WordPress will be delivered to the new email address.
