    Hi, I have already looked through a few posts on this, and can’t find the answer.

    I don’t know how to change the admin email, and changing it via the Users menu option on the left doesn’t work.

    Also, I don’t see an admin_email field in my wp_options table either, nor do I see a site_meta table.

    Here is a link to a picture, showing my PhpMyAdmin screen with all the tables, as well as the columns for the wp_options table:

    Any help is greatly appreciated.

    Go to “Settings” -> “General”, in your WP admin panel.

    You should be able to change it there next to “email address”.

    Just a note, I just went into the wp_options table, and found the admin_email entry.

    It has been changed to the one that I want the emails to be sent to.

    But the e-mails are still being sent to the old address.

    Is there anywhere else I can change?

    heigold1, have you tried changing this in your ‘users’ table?

    RSPublishing, I just checked my “wp_users” table, and the e-mail address that I want to use is there.

    Its still going to the old admin e-mail specified.

    Did you try what I suggested above?

    heigold, i would then suggest using Josh’s suggestion OR using this plugin : http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/mail-from/ (allows you to change the default mail address). Either way, it will update TO your database and not FROM your database. Much easier!

    Hi Josh, sorry I missed your first message.

    You guys, all I had to do was go to my “Contact” form (I added Contact Form 7) and change it there.

    AAAAAAAAH!!!!!!

    Sorry for the false alarm.
