I have a couple of test sites running Discourse just with IP’s at present and I have been testing Elastic Email (EE). Seems ok so far but I haven’t done the domain verification SPF stuff yet. I want to change the admin email address but it’s an email address that is being “suppressed”, not bounced…

As main admin I’m still unable to validate the incorrect email address I used when I created the Discourse site. What is the hack to validate the email so I can then go on and enter the correct email address?

You are probably out of luck if you screw up the admin email… Probably the one thing in discourse that you can’t screw up, as the admin controls everything and your only way to recover an admin password is thru its email… EDIT: Maybe a ninja here can teach you how to modify the database record dire…

What’s wrong with impersonating the other admin account? Just press impersonate.

Or if you just want to change the email, you can deactivate that account, change the email, and activate it again. Not sure if this still works but you can try… But if you already have an admin account you can do anything. You don’t really need to use the original account. There isn’t anything you…

I did wonder about the ongoing changes to Discourse.

I have no rails experience at all.
