Att ändra administratörens e-post i WordPress är viktigt för att hantera webbplatsens kommunikation på ett effektivt sätt. Som standard använder WordPress den e-post som anges under installationen. Men baserat på vår erfarenhet kan du behöva uppdatera den när din webbplats eller verksamhet utvecklas.
Denna artikel kommer att guida dig genom flera metoder för att uppdatera din admin email address enkelt och säkert. Om du föredrar att använda din WordPress dashboard eller att komma åt webbplatsens database, kommer vi att ge steg-för-steg-instruktioner för att göra processen smidig.
Vi kommer också att förklara varför det är så viktigt att hålla din admin-email updating för din sites drift och säkerhet.
Varför och när du behöver ändra WordPress Admin Email
Normalt använder Beginnare sin personliga email address när de installerar WordPress. Vissa webbhotell för WordPress har också automatiska installatörer som automatiskt använder ditt webbhotellkontos email address under installationen.
WordPress använder sedan denna email address som website’s email address samt email för det första admin användarkontot.
Den används för att skicka aviseringar om administratörens användarkonto och olika aktiviteter på webbplatsen.
Aviseringar för användarkonton för administratörer
- Återställning av borttappat password
- Aviseringar om account för användaren admin
Aviseringar relaterade till website
- Skapande av nytt account för användare
- Auto-updates installationer
- Aviseringar om moderation av kommentarer
- Aviseringar om nya order (för eCommerce stores)
Att skicka viktiga aviseringar som rör din website från ditt personal account ser inte särskilt professionellt ut.
De flesta website-ägare inser snart att de vill använda en professionell business email address istället för generiska gratis email addresses. De kanske också vill använda en annan email address för administration av site admin och användaren admin.
Med detta sagt, låt oss klura på hur du enkelt ändrar WordPress-admins email address.
Saker att göra innan du ändrar Admin Email Address i WordPress
Först måste du välja den email address som du vill använda som din WordPress admin email address. Du kan använda en gratis e-posttjänst som Gmail eller Yahoo. Detta ser dock inte särskilt professionellt ut.
Helst vill du använda en email address med varumärket som använder din websites domain name. Till exempel: info@yourbusinessname.com
För detaljerade instruktioner, se vår guide om hur du får en gratis email address för företag.
För det andra måste du se till att du kan ta emot email från din WordPress website.
När du ändrar din administratörs e-postadress kommer WordPress att skicka ett e-postmeddelande för att kontrollera den nya email addressen. Om du inte kan ta emot email från din site admin i WordPress, kan du inte kontrollera den nya email addressen.
För att säkerställa detta installerar och aktiverar du WP Mail SMTP plugin. För mer detaljer, se vår Step-by-Step guide om hur du installerar ett plugin för WordPress.
Obs/observera : Det finns också en gratis version av WP Mail SMTP som du kan prova. Vi rekommenderar att du upgraderar till Pro-versionen för att låsa upp fler funktioner.
För detaljerade instruktioner, se vår guide om hur du ställer in WP Mail SMTP med alla webbhotell.
Nu när du är all set, låt oss ta en titt på hur man ändrar WordPress admin email address. Du kan använda snabblänkarna under för att hoppa till den metod du vill använda:
Metod 1: Ändra WordPress Admin Email Address via Admin Area
Den här metoden är enklare och rekommenderas för Beginnare. I de flesta fall kommer du att använda den för att ändra email addresses för din WordPress site och WordPress admin användarkonto.
För att ändra WordPress-webbplatsens email address, gå bara till Settings ” Allmänt och ändra alternativet ”Email Address”.
Glöm inte att save dina ändringar.
WordPress kommer nu att save din nya email address för administratörer. Den kommer dock inte att ändra administratörens email address förrän du kontrollerar emailen.
När du har kontrollerat email addressen kommer WordPress att börja skicka viktiga administratörsrelaterade email till den nya adressen.
Om du sedan vill ändra email addressen för admin användarkontot, måste du gå till Users ” All Users page och klicka på länken ” Edit” under den användare du vill ändra.
Detta öppnar sidan för edit av profilen för viss användare av det aktuella kontot.
Rulla bara ner till alternativet Email och ändra sedan email address.
Glöm inte att clicka på knappen ”Update profile” för att save your changes.
Om du för närvarande är inloggad på det användarkonto som du ändrar, kommer WordPress nu att skicka en email notification till den nya email addressen.
Du måste clicka på länken i emailet för att bekräfta ändringen av din email address.
Metod 2: Ändra WordPress Admin Email utan verifiering (med hjälp av ett plugin)
Om du inte kan få verifieringsmeddelandet för att ändra administratörens e-postadress kan du använda den här metoden.
Det tillåter dig i princip att kringgå WordPress-verifieringen och direkt ändra administratörens email address.
Först måste du installera och aktivera pluginet Change Admin Email. För mer detaljer, se vår Step-by-Step guide om hur du installerar ett plugin för WordPress.
När du har aktiverat måste du gå till Settings ” General page. Gå till alternativet ”Administration Email Address” och enter den nya email address du vill använda.
Slutligen klickar du på knappen ”Save Changes” för att spara dina ändringar.
Tillägget kommer omedelbart att ändra administratörsadressen utan verifiering. Det kommer också att skicka ett testmail till dig till den nya admin email addressen.
Metod 3: Ändra WordPress Admin Email via phpMyAdmin
I den här metoden kommer vi att visa dig hur du ändrar båda dessa email addresses via phpMyAdmin. Denna metod bör endast användas när du inte kan komma åt WordPress admin area.
Först måste du gå till dashboarden för ditt webbhotell och klicka på ”Settings” under din website.
Note: Beroende på ditt webbhotell kan din cPanel dashboard se något annorlunda ut än ovanstående screenshot. Vi använder Bluehost, så det är screenshot av vår kontrollpanel.
Klicka sedan på ”phpMyAdmin” i sektionen Quick Links under tabben Overview.
Detta kommer att starta appen phpMyAdmin. Det är ett verktyg för hantering av databaser, och vi kommer att använda det för att ändra administratörens e-postadress direkt i WordPress-databasen.
I phpMyAdmin-fönstret kommer du att se din database listad i den vänstra colonnen. Om du klickar på den kommer du att se alla tabeller i den. Du måste lokalisera tabellen _options och clicka för att öppna den.
Det kommer nu att visa dig dataraderna i tabellen med valfria alternativ. You need to click on the ’Edit’ button next to the row where option_name is admin_email.
phpMyAdmin kommer nu att öppna row i ett formulär där du bara kan gå vidare och ändra admin email för din site.
Glöm inte att clicka på knappen ”Go” för att save your changes.
Du har utan problem uppdaterat email addressen för WordPress website email notifications.
Låt oss gå vidare och ändra email addressen för admin användarkontot.
Click för att öppna tabellen _users i phpMyAdmin-fönstret. Klicka sedan på knappen ”Edit” bredvid den row där användarens login matchar den användare som du vill redigera.
phpMyAdmin kommer nu att öppna användarens row i ett formulär. Du kan enter den nya email addressen i fältet user_email.
Glöm inte att clicka på knappen ”Go” för att save your changes.
Felsökning
Ibland når WordPress aviseringar via email aldrig din inbox. Detta är en vanlig issue, och du kanske inte kan få e-postmeddelanden om återställning av lösenord eller bekräftelse av användare på grund av det.
Om du inte kan ta emot WordPress aviseringar via e-post, vänligen se vår guide om hur du fixar WordPress not sending email issue.
Vi hoppas att den här artikeln hjälpte dig att lära dig hur du ändrar WordPress admin email. Du kanske också vill se vår ultimata guide om behörigheter för användares roller i WordPress och våra expertval för de tillägg till WordPress som du måste ha för alla webbplatser.

I highly appreciate the option to use Phpmyadmin. It saved my websites a couple of times in cases where the password was forgotten and the email for the admin account either didn’t exist or wasn’t functioning. This is a very elegant way to change the email address for password reset.
Hernan
I tried with every method, but still sending from wordpress@domain…
WPBeginner Support
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!

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/

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.

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.

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.
