If you are using WordPress Multisite, each site’s settings are stored in the database, and you can find the admin email for a specific subsite in the wp_options table. Since you mentioned that you can only find it for one of your subsites, let’s try a step-by-step approach to locate the admin email for the other subsites.
Here are the general steps:
- Access your Database:
- Log in to your hosting provider’s control panel.
- Find and open phpMyAdmin or any other database management tool provided by your hosting.
- In phpMyAdmin, select the database associated with your WordPress Multisite installation.
- Locate the wp_options table for the Subsite:
- You’ve mentioned you found it for one subsite, so check if you can find the other subsites’ wp_options tables.
- Usually, the table names for subsites are prefixed with the site ID. For example, if your main site has an ID of 1, the second subsite may have a table name like
wp_2_options.
- Search for the Admin Email:
- Once you are in the wp_options table for the subsite, look for the option_name column. The option_name should be ‘admin_email’.
- The corresponding option_value will contain the current admin email for that subsite.
- If needed, update the option_value with the new admin email address.
If you are still having trouble, ensure that you are checking the correct database and tables associated with each subsite. Also, make sure that your WordPress Multisite installation is correctly configured.
Remember that changes to the admin email address might not trigger an immediate confirmation email. It’s always a good idea to check the spam folder and wait for some time for the email to arrive.
If you continue facing issues, you may consider using a plugin like “WP Mail SMTP” to handle email configurations and ensure emails are sent successfully.
