Overview
This WordPress plugin is designed to empower administrators by allowing them to change the "site admin email" option without the need for a confirmation email, particularly accommodating scenarios where outbound email capabilities are disabled, such as testing environments or localhost setups. With the advent of WordPress 4.9, changing the site admin email without outgoing email setup became restricted; this plugin circumvents that limitation effectively. The "site admin email" is crucial as it serves as the global email for administrative purposes, acting as the "from" address for site-generated emails, and can differ from the administrator's personal user email. Once activated, administrators can seamlessly update this email via the Settings >> General page in the WordPress dashboard.

I was about to light fire to my computer and send curses to WP, because WTH can’t I change the admin email easily. Why is this a problem, it’s freaking insane!? But here you are saving the day, thank you, thank you, thank you.!

After tearing out my hair for literally weeks trying to to get my WordPress to send a confirmation email to my updated email address – with NO success – I finally found this easy, simple, wonderful plugin that worked like a charm. Thanks John Dee!

Had trouble changing my admin email, then found this plugin. Once installed, I went back to Settings > General and changed the sticky email address and Saved. Done. Got a hilarious, self-promotional email at the new admin address asking me to consider reviewing the plugin. And this is it. Highly recommended.

This is a great plugin to replace obstinate old admins who refuse to cooperate and reply to the email sent by WordPress to add a new admin email. Prevents them from holding the site hostage by refusing to respond. This plugin bypasses them completely and sets the new email immediately.
The only thing I would change is the button says “Test Email”. I would change it to Replace Email, then it would be more intuitive.
Thanks,Mike
