  Hello,

  I made a typo when registering my e-mail. I need to accept the notification sent by WordPress thus verifying my account, but I cannot access that e-mail because of the mistake. I would like to keep my user name. Is there anyway word press can help me change the e-mail?

  Not to worry as Staff can assist with this. Yes. Post both that correct and incorrect email address here. The software will redact them ie. HIDE them so only Staff can see what they are. Then type modlook into the sidebar tags on this thread for Staff help. How do I get a Moderator/Staff reply for my question? https://en.support.wordpress.com/getting-help-in-the-forums/#how-do-i-get-a-moderatorstaff-reply-for-my-question Then please subscribe to it so you are notified when they respond. To subscribe look in the sidebar of this thread, find the subscribe to topics link and click it.

  Hello,

  Did I tag correctly? No one from Staff has contacted me.

  Hi there,

  You can go to your account settings to update your account to the correct email address. That will send a confirmation email to the new, correct address so you can confirm it. If you don’t see that confirmation email in your inbox, please try the tips on our Gmail Issues page.

  Please let me know if I can do anything more to help with that. :)

  Hi aquaeyesgoggles,

  You can follow the steps I mentioned above to fix that:

  You can go to your account settings to update your account to the correct email address. That will send a confirmation email to the new, correct address so you can confirm it. If you don’t see that confirmation email in your inbox, please try the tips on our Gmail Issues page.

  If you have any trouble with that, please start a new forum thread so we can help you separately from the original poster in this forum thread. Thanks!
