Hello! I face with a problem and I need your help. How to change the admin email the one that you entered while installing Discourse? Thank you!

[image] Elena_me: On the welcome page. Does that mean that you just installed Discourse for the first time and you’re trying to set up the initial admin account? You haven’t ever even logged in yet? If that’s the case, then you want to change the DISCOURSE_DEVELOPER_EMAILS in your app.yml. The easiest way to do that is to run ./discourse-setup again.

Hello! Thank you very much! I use this email while logging as an admin.Forum works well. Now i would like to change old email. I am afraid that this ./discourse-setup destroy the forum. Will it?

[image] Elena_me: Now i would like to change old email. Have you tried to do so and had a problem? If you still have access to the old address, then you should have no problems. [image] Elena_me: I am afraid that this ./discourse-setup destroy the forum. Will it? No. And changing the developer email address will affect only accounts that use those email addresses; it will not change the email address of your, or any other account in Discourse.

[image] Elena_me: ./discourse-setup Hello! Could you please assist me with commands When i type ./discourse-setup in Terminal it says “-bash: ./discourse-setup: No such file or directory”

cd /var/discourse ./discourse-setup Again, this will NOT change the email address associated with your existing Discourse account. It will only make whatever email address you change it to be an admin and be able to see the mini profiler. If you want to change your email address, go to /my/profile and change it. If you’re using SSO then you’ll need to change it there and not in Discourse.

Hello, Jay! Thank you very much for your sincere desire to help me. I guess i have problem with an explanation. I would like to change email on the welcome page. And as far as I am an admin this email uses for some technical support. It appears on the Contacts of the forum. I have attached the picture to show you what email i would like to change. The first line is an email. [Снимок экрана 2023-10-02 в 15.21.36] Thank you in advance.

[image] Elena_me: guess i have problem with an explanation. That seems clear. That’s not a welcome page. It’s the login page. Are you referring to this field? [image] There is no email address printed there, just a field where you enter your email address or your username. Other users will enter their email address there, but I expect that most users enter their username and not their email address. Do you want to change the email address connected to your admin account? The email address where Discourse sends you notifications? Then you do that from your user profile. (But you can also log in on that page without an email address, but only the username and password.) Do you want to change the social logins on the right? [image] Pyx : the about page will display the first email in the developer emails setting. I don’t think that’s the intention as the screen shot shows the login page. Right?

[image] Jay Pfaffman: I don’t think that’s the intention as the screen shot shows the login page. Right? I might have misunderstood the post, I understood it as “how can I change the email on /about”

[image] Jay Pfaffman: Then you do that from your user profile. Thank you. Could you please make a screenshot of that option. I mean where i can change it. Because near my email there is no “edit” option.

If I remember, then the about page will display the first email in the developer emails setting.
