Admin Email Update Procedure

July 23, 2020 | ,

This is a mandatory process for all incoming tickets.

Not to be confused with the user emails, the WordPress admin email lives in a separate area of the dashboard under Settings. The admin email is what WordPress will use for any website update information as well as any settings directing to the admin email (like forms).

Please follow the steps outlined below to check and update this email from the default.

Check

Your first step should be to check the admin email. In the WordPress dashboard, go to the Settings menu in the black menu bar on the left hand side.

If the Administration Email Address is set to pwsadmin@godaddy.com please proceed to the next steps.
