Why am I not receiving the initial confirmation email for my wordpress site?
-
I’m starting up a new wordpress site but I’m not receiving the confirmation email to my gmail account. I’ve tried having it resent several times and, yes, my email is entered correctly. What gives?
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

Hello.
Please start by checking your email client spam filter. If that does not help, please see this link for help on issues specific to Gmail https://en.support.wordpress.com/email-notifications/gmail-issues/
If that is not the issue, please type modlook into the tag box on the right to get staff support.

Thanks!
No, I checked all the suggested places in my gmail (spam, trash, all mail, searched for mail from wordpress.com, etc.) The message just isn’t there.

I think that might be an error on our end. Your account was already verified 2 years ago, so you shouldn’t need to verify it again.
Are you having any trouble in particular besides the email not being sent?

It wasn’t allowing me to post anything because I hadn’t confirmed my email.
I did fix the problem, though, by changing my email to another account that I have access to. For some reason once I verified the email change, I no longer saw the notice that I needed to confirm my email! So now everything works. Just a weird glitch, I guess.
Thanks.
