Email notifications going to wrong email address

    About a year ago I updated my Email Address in the Account Settings. I have no problem logging into my WordPress account using this email address.

    However, all my account notifications (‘Comments on my site’, ‘Site follows’, etc.) are still going to the original email address used when I created my account.

    Is there some other place I need to update my current email address?

    WP.com: Yes
    Correct account: Yes

    The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

    Note that the “Contact Rob” form at:

    https://tips4java.wordpress.com/contact-us/contact-rob/

    does correctly send the email to my new email address, so the wordpress forms are working correctly.

    I think I solved the problem.

    I went to the “Notification Settings” page and then:

    1. unchecked all the email notifications and saved the page
    2. rechecked all the email notifications and saved the page.

    Then sent a comment to myself as an anonymous user, and it went to the correct email address.

    Nicely done! I had a quick look at your account; it doesn’t look like anything would have been amiss previously but I’m glad that refreshing your notification settings resolved this for you.
