How can I change the comment notification email address?
-
I’ve created an email account especially for my blog correspondance. I wanted to get the comment notification email address on it, so I changed my “Account options” and replaced the old email address with the new one.
But I still get every comment notification email both on my two email accounts, and the new follower notification email still goes through the old one.
I can’t find where to erase the old email account once and for all, and where to replace it definitely by the new one.
Can you help me?
(sorry for my bad English, I’m French)
Thanks, have a nice day. -
Comment notifications are set to go to whatever email address is setup for each post’s blog author.
Let’s look at an example.
Here is a recent post:
http://unejeuneidiote.com/2013/05/23/breves-concours-cuisine-crapaud/If you open that page for editing and find the “Author” section, you’ll see something like this: http://cl.ly/PkTl
Note that you may have to make sure “Author” is checked in the “Screen Options” tab at the top right before you can see it.
Next, go to Users > All Users in your blog dashboard. In your case, there’s only one! The email address on file for that user account is where the comment notifications for the http://unejeuneidiote.com/2013/05/23/breves-concours-cuisine-crapaud/ post will be sent.
Since your blog only has one author, changing the email address for that user account in Users > Personal Settings should be the only update you need to make.

Hi.
Here is what I have in the “All Users” options on my dashboard : http://bit.ly/185HeNv
You can see the email address registered is “(email visible only to moderators and staff)”, which is the account I have bound to all the “blogging” stuff.
But I still get notification emails on my other email account, even if I don’t see it anywhere in my profile, or anywhere in the website at all.
Can you help me ? -
Could you post a full copy of one of the emails that was sent to the other address (including the mail headers if you can find them) so I can see exactly what the email looks like?

Thank you!
I may have been wrong about the email only going to the post author, or perhaps it also sends to the blog email address on file in some cases.
I looked at your blog settings and I found that the hotmail.fr address is still saved on this page:
https://unejeuneidiote.wordpress.com/wp-admin/options-general.phpCould you try updating the email address there and let me know if that solves the problem for you going forward?

Thanks to you it’s all fixed now!!
I think I had already changed the email address on this page but had trouble confirming by clicking on the link in the mail. It’s all done now and it’s great ! Thanks for you advice!
Have a nice day! -
Brilliant! Thanks for working through it and providing examples and info that were helpful to getting the problem solved. :)
