Modificare l’email dell’amministratore in WordPress è essenziale per gestire efficacemente le comunicazioni del sito. Di default, WordPress utilizza l’email fornita durante la configurazione. Tuttavia, in base alla nostra esperienza, potrebbe essere necessario aggiornarla man mano che il sito o l’azienda si evolvono.
Questo articolo vi guiderà attraverso diversi metodi per aggiornare l’indirizzo email dell’amministratore in modo facile e sicuro. Sia che preferiate utilizzare la dashboard di WordPress o accedere al database del sito, vi forniremo istruzioni passo-passo per rendere il processo agevole.
Vi spiegheremo anche perché tenere aggiornata l’email dell’amministratore è così importante per il funzionamento e la sicurezza del sito.
Perché e quando è necessario modificare l’email dell’amministratore di WordPress?
Normalmente, i principianti utilizzano il loro indirizzo e-mail personale quando installano WordPress. Inoltre, alcune società di hosting WordPress dispongono di programmi di installazione automatica che utilizzano automaticamente l’indirizzo e-mail dell’account di hosting durante l’installazione.
WordPress utilizza quindi questo indirizzo e-mail come indirizzo e-mail del sito web e come e-mail per il primo account utente amministratore.
Viene utilizzato per inviare notifiche relative all’account utente dell’amministratore e a diverse attività del sito web.
Notifiche dell’account utente dell’amministratore
- Recupero della password persa
- Notifiche dell’account per l’utente amministratore
Notifiche relative al sito web
- Creazione di un nuovo account utente
- Aggiornamenti automatici delle installazioni
- Notifiche sulla moderazione dei commenti
- Notifiche di ordini nuovi (per i negozi di e-commerce)
Inviare notifiche importanti relative al sito web dal proprio account email personale non ha un aspetto molto professionale.
La maggior parte dei proprietari di siti web si rende subito conto di voler utilizzare un indirizzo e-mail professionale invece di un generico account e-mail gratuito. Potrebbero anche voler utilizzare un indirizzo e-mail diverso per l’amministrazione del sito e per l’utente amministratore.
Detto questo, vediamo come cambiare facilmente l’indirizzo e-mail dell’amministratore di WordPress.
Cose da fare prima di cambiare l’indirizzo e-mail dell’amministratore in WordPress
Innanzitutto, è necessario scegliere l’indirizzo e-mail che si desidera utilizzare come indirizzo e-mail di amministrazione di WordPress. Potete utilizzare un servizio di posta elettronica gratuito come Gmail o Yahoo. Tuttavia, questo non ha un aspetto molto professionale.
L’ideale sarebbe utilizzare un indirizzo e-mail di marca che utilizzi il nome di dominio del vostro sito web. Ad esempio: info@yourbusinessname.com
Per istruzioni dettagliate, consultate la nostra guida su come ottenere un indirizzo e-mail aziendale gratuito.
In secondo luogo, dovrete assicurarvi di poter ricevere le e-mail dal vostro sito WordPress.
Una volta modificato l’indirizzo e-mail dell’amministratore, WordPress invierà un’e-mail per verificare il nuovo indirizzo e-mail. Se non potete ricevere e-mail dal vostro sito WordPress, non potete verificare il nuovo indirizzo e-mail dell’amministratore.
Per garantire ciò, installate e attivate il plugin WP Mail SMTP. Per maggiori dettagli, consultate la nostra guida passo passo su come installare un plugin di WordPress.
Nota: esiste anche una versione gratuita di WP Mail SMTP che si può provare. Si consiglia di passare alla versione pro per sbloccare ulteriori funzioni.
Per istruzioni dettagliate, consultare la nostra guida su come configurare WP Mail SMTP con qualsiasi società di hosting.
Ora che siete pronti, vediamo come cambiare l’indirizzo e-mail dell’amministratore di WordPress. Potete utilizzare i collegamenti rapidi qui sotto per passare al metodo che desiderate utilizzare:
Metodo 1: Cambiare l’indirizzo e-mail dell’amministratore di WordPress tramite l’area amministrativa
Questo metodo è più semplice e consigliato ai principianti. Nella maggior parte dei casi, lo userete per modificare gli indirizzi email del vostro sito WordPress e dell’account utente dell’amministratore di WordPress.
Per modificare l’indirizzo e-mail del sito WordPress, basta andare su Impostazioni ” Generali e modificare l’opzione ‘Indirizzo e-mail’.
Non dimenticate di salvare le modifiche.
WordPress salverà ora il nuovo indirizzo e-mail di amministrazione. Tuttavia, non modificherà l’indirizzo e-mail dell’amministratore finché non lo verificherete.
Una volta verificato l’indirizzo e-mail, WordPress inizierà a inviare al nuovo indirizzo e-mail importanti per l’amministrazione.
Quindi, se si desidera modificare l’indirizzo e-mail dell’account utente amministratore, è necessario visitare la pagina Utenti ” Tutti gli utenti e fare clic sul link ‘Modifica’ sotto l’utente che si desidera modificare.
Si aprirà la pagina di modifica del profilo di quel particolare account utente.
È sufficiente scorrere fino all’opzione Email e modificare l’indirizzo email.
Non dimenticate di cliccare sul pulsante “Aggiorna profilo” per salvare le modifiche.
Se si è attualmente connessi all’account utente che si sta modificando, WordPress invierà una notifica via e-mail al nuovo indirizzo di posta elettronica.
È necessario cliccare sul link contenuto nell’e-mail per confermare la modifica dell’indirizzo e-mail.
Metodo 2: Cambiare l’e-mail dell’amministratore di WordPress senza verifica (usando un plugin)
Se non si riesce a ottenere l’email di verifica per modificare l’indirizzo email dell’amministratore, è possibile utilizzare questo metodo.
In pratica, consente di bypassare la verifica di WordPress e di modificare direttamente l’indirizzo e-mail dell’amministratore.
Innanzitutto, è necessario installare e attivare il plugin Change Admin Email. Per maggiori dettagli, consultate la nostra guida passo passo su come installare un plugin di WordPress.
Dopo l’attivazione, è necessario visitare la pagina Impostazioni ” Generale. Andare all’opzione “Indirizzo e-mail di amministrazione” e inserire il nuovo indirizzo e-mail che si desidera utilizzare.
Infine, fare clic sul pulsante “Salva modifiche” per memorizzare le modifiche.
Il plugin cambierà immediatamente l’indirizzo dell’amministratore senza verifica. Inoltre, invierà un’e-mail di prova al nuovo indirizzo e-mail dell’amministratore.
Metodo 3: Cambiare l’e-mail di amministrazione di WordPress tramite phpMyAdmin
In questo metodo, vi mostreremo come cambiare entrambi gli indirizzi e-mail tramite phpMyAdmin. Questo metodo deve essere utilizzato solo quando non si riesce ad accedere all’area di amministrazione di WordPress.
Per prima cosa, è necessario visitare il cruscotto del proprio account di hosting e fare clic su “Impostazioni” sotto il proprio sito web.
Nota: a seconda dell’azienda di hosting, il cruscotto di cPanel potrebbe avere un aspetto leggermente diverso da quello dell’immagine qui sopra. Noi utilizziamo Bluehost, quindi questa è la schermata del nostro pannello di controllo.
Quindi, nella scheda Panoramica, fare clic su “phpMyAdmin” nella sezione Collegamenti rapidi.
In questo modo si avvierà l’applicazione phpMyAdmin. Si tratta di uno strumento di gestione del database, che useremo per modificare l’indirizzo email dell’amministratore direttamente nel database di WordPress.
Nella finestra di phpMyAdmin, si vedrà il database elencato nella colonna di sinistra. Facendo clic su di esso, verranno mostrate tutte le tabelle al suo interno. È necessario individuare la tabella _options e fare clic per aprirla.
Ora verranno mostrate le righe di dati all’interno della tabella delle opzioni. È necessario fare clic sul pulsante “Modifica” accanto alla riga in cui il nome dell'opzione è admin_email.
phpMyAdmin aprirà ora la riga in un modulo in cui si può procedere a modificare l’e-mail di amministrazione del sito.
Non dimenticate di fare clic sul pulsante “Vai” per salvare le modifiche.
Avete aggiornato con successo l’indirizzo e-mail per le notifiche e-mail del sito WordPress.
Procediamo a modificare l’indirizzo e-mail dell’account utente amministratore.
Fare clic per aprire la tabella _users nella finestra di phpMyAdmin. Quindi, fare clic sul pulsante ‘Modifica’ accanto alla riga in cui il login dell’utente corrisponde all’utente che si desidera modificare.
phpMyAdmin aprirà ora la riga dell’utente in un modulo. È possibile inserire il nuovo indirizzo e-mail nel campo user_email.
Non dimenticate di fare clic sul pulsante “Vai” per salvare le modifiche.
Risoluzione dei problemi
A volte le notifiche delle email di WordPress non raggiungono mai la vostra casella di posta. Si tratta di un problema comune, a causa del quale potreste non ricevere le email di reimposta della password o di conferma dell’utente.
Se non riuscite a ricevere le notifiche via e-mail di WordPress, consultate la nostra guida su come risolvere il problema del mancato invio di e-mail da parte di WordPress.
Speriamo che questo articolo vi abbia aiutato a capire come cambiare l’email dell’amministratore di WordPress.

This is for changing the admin email for things like update emails. If you wanted to change the email that your site sends emails to users from then we would recommend taking a look at WP Mail SMTP which has options to change that email for you.

With any of these 3 options, do the notification or confirmation emails go to the original site admin email address? Either when we input a new email or when the new email is confirmed?
Either using the dashboard, a plugin, or PHPMyAdmin?

If you wanted to avoid the confirmation email you would want to use either the second or third method from this article.

If you are using the plugin above, make sure you cancel your pending request first.
The plugin method only works after the pending change is cancelled. Then you can make a fresh attempt and the plugin worked for me (wp 5.6.2 Mar of 2021)
Good luck!

Thank you so much. I have two websites in BlueHost – one for me and one for my husband and I could not change the admin email in Wordpress. It kept saying that an email was sent to my husband’s email address to verify change request but it never came. I followed your method 2 by updating it in phpMyAdmin. Now, the only reason why I was able to do that were your very detailed steps. Thank you!

If the email is not in your spam folder, you would want to update your site to use SMTP to send your emails, we have a guide on how to do that here: https://www.wpbeginner.com/plugins/how-to-send-email-in-wordpress-using-the-gmail-smtp-server/

Naive question here. I am trying to set up a Mailerlite account. As part of the sign up process they require me to verify an email address associated with my website. Unfortunately the only email address their site will accept is one with @myname.com which is the end of my website address.
Can you tell me how to find my created email address ending in @myname.com so I can see if any emails have gone there?
WPBeginner Support
If you have not set up an email at that address then you did not send the message to a working email address. You can set it up using the method from our article here: https://www.wpbeginner.com/beginners-guide/how-to-create-a-free-business-email-address-in-5-minutes-step-by-step/

Hi,
I managed to change the admin’s email address using the phpMyAdmin window, but my WP Form still isn’t sending the emails to the new email address. I reverted to the original admin email and it works! The original admin email is Gmail, and the new one is on Outlook Office.
Any ideas? Help, please. I’ve already spent over an hour trying to figure this out.
Thanks

I am the author of the change admin email plugin. If you install the plugin after you create a failed pending change, you’ll get stuck with this message. Just click “Cancel”. This will cancel the previous pending change. Then you’ll be able to do a new change from scratch.

Hi, We currently have 2 admins on our WP site. The first original admin guy’s email address appears as the site admin while I am in logged in. If I were to change it to my email address while I am logged in as admin, would that change mean there are now 2 admin emails? Is this even possible, or can a WP site only have 1 admin email? It would be good to have more than one person getting admin info, so how can I do this change to make 2 admin emails? Thanks.
WPBeginner Support
By default, you can only have one admin email, there are plugins to allow multiple admin emails but unless I hear otherwise we do not have a specific one we would recommend at this time.
