 * I changed the Administration Email Address on our wordpress site. It says The
   new address will not become active until confirmed. The issue is I never receive
   the email to verify this. Not in spam, not directly to trash, nothing. Any suggestions
   with how I can actually get this email sent to me? It’s been months since I’ve
   initiated this change. I use gmail and have checked that wordpress is not blocked
   or anything like that. Thank you for your help…..

 * That thing is really, really flaky. Don’t fight it. From wp-admin, cancel the
   change. Then, go to example.com/wp-admin/options.php. Scroll down to “admin_email”
   and update the email there.
