 * I’m trying to change the admin email address, but it says pending change, because
   an email should be sent to confirm the change of email address, but no confirmation
   email is sent. What should I do?

 * Cancel the change on wp-admin, then use PHPMYADMIN, from your hosting control
   panel, to open your database. Find the “admin_email” row in the wp_options table
   and put the new email in there.
