Deseja alterar o e-mail de administração do WordPress em seu site?
Por padrão, o WordPress usa o primeiro endereço de e-mail fornecido por você como o e-mail de administrador do site. Ele também é usado como o endereço de e-mail da primeira conta de administrador.
Neste artigo, mostraremos como alterar facilmente o endereço de e-mail do administrador do WordPress.
Por que e quando você precisa alterar o e-mail de administrador do WordPress?
Normalmente, os iniciantes usam seu endereço de e-mail pessoal ao instalar o WordPress. Além disso, algumas empresas de hospedagem do WordPress têm instaladores automáticos que usam automaticamente o endereço de e-mail de sua conta de hospedagem durante a instalação.
O WordPress usa esse endereço de e-mail como o endereço de e-mail do site e também como o e-mail da primeira conta de usuário administrador.
O WordPress também enviará notificações importantes para esse endereço de e-mail. Por exemplo, quando uma nova conta de usuário for criada, uma atualização automática for instalada e notificações de moderação de comentários.
O endereço de e-mail do usuário administrador é usado para recuperar senhas perdidas e notificações sobre a conta.
A maioria dos proprietários de sites logo percebe que deseja usar um endereço de e-mail comercial profissional em vez de contas de e-mail gratuitas genéricas. Eles também podem querer usar um endereço de e-mail diferente para a administração do site e para o usuário administrador.
Dito isso, vamos ver como alterar facilmente o endereço de e-mail do administrador do WordPress.
O que fazer antes de alterar o endereço de e-mail do administrador no WordPress
Primeiro, você precisa escolher o endereço de e-mail que deseja usar como endereço de e-mail de administrador do WordPress. Você pode usar um serviço de e-mail gratuito, como o Gmail ou o Yahoo. No entanto, isso não parece muito profissional.
O ideal é usar um endereço de e-mail de marca usando o nome de domínio do seu site. Por exemplo: info@yourbusinessname.com
Para obter instruções detalhadas, consulte nosso guia sobre como obter um endereço de e-mail comercial gratuito.
Em segundo lugar, é preciso garantir que você possa receber e-mails do seu site WordPress.
Quando você alterar o endereço de e-mail do administrador, o WordPress enviará um e-mail para verificar o novo endereço de e-mail. Se você não puder receber e-mails do seu site do WordPress, não poderá verificar o novo endereço de e-mail do administrador.
Para garantir isso, instale e ative o plug-in WP Mail SMTP. Para obter mais detalhes, consulte nosso guia passo a passo sobre como instalar um plug-in do WordPress.
Observação: há também uma versão gratuita do WP Mail SMTP que você pode experimentar. Recomendamos atualizar para a versão profissional para desbloquear mais recursos.
Para obter instruções detalhadas, consulte nosso guia sobre como configurar o WP Mail SMTP com qualquer empresa de hospedagem.
Agora que está tudo pronto, vamos dar uma olhada em como alterar o endereço de e-mail do administrador do WordPress. Você pode usar os links rápidos abaixo para ir para o método que deseja usar:
Método 1: Alterar o endereço de e-mail do administrador do WordPress por meio da área de administração
Esse método é mais simples e recomendado para iniciantes. Na maioria dos casos, você usará esse método para alterar o e-mail do seu site WordPress e o endereço de e-mail da sua conta de usuário administrador do WordPress.
Para alterar o endereço de e-mail do site do WordPress, basta acessar Configurações ” Geral e alterar a opção “Endereço de e-mail”.
Não se esqueça de salvar suas alterações.
O WordPress agora salvará seu novo endereço de e-mail de administrador. No entanto, ele não alterará o endereço de e-mail do administrador até que você verifique o e-mail.
Depois que você verificar o endereço de e-mail, o WordPress começará a enviar e-mails importantes relacionados à administração para o novo endereço.
Em seguida, se quiser alterar o endereço de e-mail da conta de usuário administrador, visite a página Usuários ” Todos os usuários e clique no link “Editar” abaixo do usuário que deseja alterar.
Isso abrirá a página de edição de perfil para essa conta de usuário específica.
Basta rolar a tela para baixo até a opção Email e alterar o endereço de e-mail.
Não se esqueça de clicar no botão “Update profile” (Atualizar perfil) para salvar suas alterações.
Se você estiver atualmente conectado à conta de usuário que está alterando, o WordPress enviará uma notificação por e-mail para o novo endereço de e-mail.
Você precisa clicar no link do e-mail para confirmar a alteração do seu endereço de e-mail.
Método 2: Alterar o e-mail de administrador do WordPress sem verificação (usando um plug-in)
Se você não conseguir obter o e-mail de verificação para alterar o endereço de e-mail do administrador, poderá usar este método.
Basicamente, ele permite que você ignore a verificação do WordPress e altere diretamente o endereço de e-mail do administrador.
Primeiro, você precisa instalar e ativar o plug-in Change Admin Email. Para obter mais detalhes, consulte nosso guia passo a passo sobre como instalar um plug-in do WordPress.
Após a ativação, você precisa acessar a página Configurações ” Geral. Vá para a opção “Administration Email Address” (Endereço de e-mail da administração) e digite o novo endereço de e-mail que deseja usar.
Por fim, clique no botão “Save Changes” (Salvar alterações) para armazenar suas alterações.
O plug-in alterará imediatamente o endereço do administrador sem verificação. Ele também enviará um e-mail de teste para o novo endereço de e-mail do administrador.
Método 3: Alterar o e-mail de administrador do WordPress via phpMyAdmin
Neste método, mostraremos como alterar esses dois endereços de e-mail por meio do phpMyAdmin. Esse método deve ser usado somente quando não for possível acessar a área de administração do WordPress.
Primeiro, você precisa acessar o painel da sua conta de hospedagem e clicar em “Settings” (Configurações) no seu site.
Observação: Dependendo da sua empresa de hospedagem, o painel do cPanel pode ser ligeiramente diferente da captura de tela acima. Como usamos a Bluehost, essa é a captura de tela do nosso painel de controle.
Em seguida, na guia Overview (Visão geral), clique em “phpMyAdmin” na seção Quick Links (Links rápidos).
Isso iniciará o aplicativo phpMyAdmin. Trata-se de uma ferramenta de gerenciamento de banco de dados e a usaremos para alterar diretamente o endereço de e-mail do administrador no banco de dados do WordPress.
Na janela do phpMyAdmin, você verá seu banco de dados listado na coluna da esquerda. Ao clicar nele, você verá todas as tabelas dentro dele. Você precisa localizar a tabela _options e clicar para abri-la.
Agora ele mostrará as linhas de dados dentro da tabela de opções. Você precisa clicar no botão “Edit” (Editar) ao lado da linha em que option_name é admin_email.
O phpMyAdmin abrirá a linha em um formulário no qual você poderá alterar o e-mail de administrador do seu site.
Não se esqueça de clicar no botão “Go” (Ir) para salvar suas alterações.
Você atualizou com êxito o endereço de e-mail para as notificações por e-mail do site do WordPress.
Vamos em frente e alterar o endereço de e-mail da conta de usuário administrador.
Clique para abrir a tabela _users na janela do phpMyAdmin. Em seguida, clique no botão “Edit” (Editar) ao lado da linha em que o login do usuário corresponde ao usuário que deseja editar.
O phpMyAdmin agora abrirá a linha do usuário em um formulário. Você pode inserir o novo endereço de e-mail no campo user_email.
Não se esqueça de clicar no botão “Go” (Ir) para salvar suas alterações.
Solução de problemas
Às vezes, as notificações por e-mail do WordPress podem nunca chegar à sua caixa de entrada. Esse é um problema comum, e talvez você não consiga receber e-mails de redefinição de senha ou de confirmação de usuário por causa disso.
Se você não puder receber notificações por e-mail do WordPress, consulte nosso guia sobre como corrigir o problema de o WordPress não enviar e-mails.
Esperamos que este artigo tenha ajudado você a aprender como alterar o e-mail de administração do WordPress. Você também pode querer ver nosso guia definitivo sobre permissões de função de usuário do WordPress e nossas escolhas de especialistas para os plug-ins obrigatórios do WordPress para todos os sites.

This is for changing the admin email for things like update emails. If you wanted to change the email that your site sends emails to users from then we would recommend taking a look at WP Mail SMTP which has options to change that email for you.

With any of these 3 options, do the notification or confirmation emails go to the original site admin email address? Either when we input a new email or when the new email is confirmed?
Either using the dashboard, a plugin, or PHPMyAdmin?

If you wanted to avoid the confirmation email you would want to use either the second or third method from this article.

If you are using the plugin above, make sure you cancel your pending request first.
The plugin method only works after the pending change is cancelled. Then you can make a fresh attempt and the plugin worked for me (wp 5.6.2 Mar of 2021)
Good luck!

Thank you so much. I have two websites in BlueHost – one for me and one for my husband and I could not change the admin email in WordPress.

If the email is not in your spam folder, you would want to update your site to use SMTP to send your emails, we have a guide on how to do that here: https://www.wpbeginner.com/plugins/how-to-send-email-in-wordpress-using-the-gmail-smtp-server/

Naive question here. I am trying to set up a Mailerlite account. As part of the sign up process they require me to verify an email address associated with my website. Unfortunately the only email address their site will accept is one with @myname.com which is the end of my website address.
Can you tell me how to find my created email address ending in @myname.com so I can see if any emails have gone there?
WPBeginner Support says
If you have not set up an email at that address then you did not send the message to a working email address. You can set it up using the method from our article here: https://www.wpbeginner.com/beginners-guide/how-to-create-a-free-business-email-address-in-5-minutes-step-by-step/

Hi,
I managed to change the admin’s email address using the phpMyAdmin window, but my WP Form still isn’t sending the emails to the new email address. I reverted to the original admin email and it works! The original admin email is Gmail, and the new one is on Outlook Office.
Any ideas? Help, please. I’ve already spent over an hour trying to figure this out.

I am the author of the change admin email plugin. If you install the plugin after you create a failed pending change, you’ll get stuck with this message. Just click “Cancel”. This will cancel the previous pending change. Then you’ll be able to do a new change from scratch.

Hi, We currently have 2 admins on our WP site. The first original admin guy’s email address appears as the site admin while I am in logged in. If I were to change it to my email address while I am logged in as admin, would that change mean there are now 2 admin emails? Is this even possible, or can a WP site only have 1 admin email? It would be good to have more than one person getting admin info, so how can I do this change to make 2 admin emails? Thanks.
WPBeginner Support says
By default, you can only have one admin email, there are plugins to allow multiple admin emails but unless I hear otherwise we do not have a specific one we would recommend at this time.
