  Hello I am trying to transfer my domain but it is telling me I need to verify my email first. I have checked all of my email folders including spam and I have not received a link to verify. I have clicked the resend button several times. Can you help me out?

  Thanks

  Solution one:
  1) Open your email platform (application; e.g. Apple Mail, Gmail, etc.) and search for the terms “WordPress” or “WordPress verification” in your email platform (also try variations of those like “WordPress email” or “WordPress verification email”).

  Solution two:
  1) Go to this page and click on the button that says “Resend Email.”
  2) Follow steps of solution one.

  Solution three:
  1) Go to Settings>Account Settings. There you will see a field labeled “Email Address.”
  2a) Switch the email to an alternate email (this would be temporary)
  2b) Switch the email to a specialized email (this would be the chance to do so; if you choose this option, follow all the other steps except number 3)
  3) After submitting that change, immediately reverse that process (switch the linked email to your primary email).
  4) Follow steps of solution two.

  Let me know if any of these solutions work. My best bet is that either the first or second solutions will do the trick.

  I also quickly took a peek at your blog and I would highly reccommend removing the photo of you drinking from the bottle of (what appears to be) alcohol, along with any other photos of that nature. If I was looking for a new hire and I saw that photo, it would be an immediate “no” from me.

  Best of luck,
  -Will

  P.S. Do not be thrown off by my profile picture (it is old) and I too am stuck in a related circumstance.

  Hi Sarah,

  I’ll add the “modlook” tag to this thread so staff can resend that email for you.

  Happy blogging!

  Or she can follow solution one, which includes a link that allows her to do it herself…

  Well that’s what happens when I don’t hit “refresh” :-)

  I actually spent quite a bit of time typing up my response, too. I was afraid my post would become redundant. Haha.

  Oops. I meant solution two.

  Hi so10c,

  I have checked all of my email folders including spam and I have not received a link to verify.

  From checking your account, I can see that the email address you provided when registering your domain is different to the one on your WordPress.com account.

  I recommend checking the email address you used when registering your domain — and please do not share your email addresses here as this is a public space :)

  Let me know how you get on.
