Change the Admin email address on your WordPress website

The admin email address on your WordPress website is used to advise on site errors and is often also used as the default contact address for plugins (eg WooCommerce will use this for new order emails by default).

It’s important to make sure this email address is active and monitored. It’s not unusual for the admin email address to be the address of your web developer or old colleague.
