Need to change email address

  • Unknown's avatar

    The directions say I can change the email in my account but I get a popup saying this method is not allowed. The account is setup with my work email I would like to set it up with my personal email.

  • Hi there,

    How exactly are you trying to change your email?

    You should be able to change it by adding a new email on the Account Setting page. That will send a confirmation email to the new address with a link you need to click to complete the change.
    https://wordpress.com/me/account/

    Make sure the email you want to use is not already being used by another WordPress.com account, or it won’t work.

    I click on my Avatar, I click on Account Settings in the menu on the left, I then click on and then I type the email address in the Email Address Field.
    Now I get a new error. It says that email address is already being used. I do not have another WordPress Account.

    After getting the error, I did a search and found that link. It is exactly what I am doing that is why I posted.

  • What is the email address you are trying to use?

    I figured out why it’s saying it’s in use. I attempted to make another account and give access to that account. I now don’t know to delete the account. I did change the email for that account to see if that will work. I feel like this is getting worse than better.

    Ok I have nit now. It worked! Totally don’t know why I got the error the first day.

  • I’m glad you got it working.

    Please let me know if I can help with anything else.
