  I am unable to change the admin email address of both of my blogs, getoffmystage.wordpress.com and getthehellofmystage.wordpress.com. I tried to change it to the same email address as on my user account “oldblogs”, but it won’t change and I never get the confirmation email.

  Where, exactly, are you trying to change it? There are two places for email in your blog admin

  Try this:

  or
  https://en.forums.wordpress.com/topic.php?id=18655&replies=10#post-140506

  Those cover BOTH places.

  I was trying to change it in Settings->General Settings. It’s the email address field where below it says “This address is used only for admin purposes.”

  Change it in both those locations, just to be safe.

  I have the same problem. It let me change the User email, but not the “this address is used for admin purposes” email on each of my blogs settings.
  I never recieved the confirmation email.
