  I’ve tried to change my email address in account settings but I’m not receiving the email to confirm?

  Can you let us know what you tried to change it to so I can see if it’s being delivered? You can type the address here; our forums will redact it.

  I managed to set up a new admin account with the email address I wanted yesterday. In answer to your question, I requested the change a few times over the past months and again yesterday but received no email.

  Thanks

  Good morning –

  Do you still want to use that new email address on the original account?

  To do that, you first need to change the email address on the new account to a throw away or different option. It won’t be possible to use that same email address on more than one account. Once that change is made the email address will be freed up. Then, you can change the original account to the new email address.

  This will happen at wordpress.com/me/account/
