Since my data was migrated from an old forum that didn’t have an email field, I had to fabricate email addresses for the users. This causes issues when verifying the old email during email change, as the verification code can’t be received. For this situation, is there a recommended or effective sol…

Only admin addresses have to be verified to change, so make the user not an admin.

I’m really happy to receive such a quick reply—thank you! I just ran a test and found that even when using a non-admin user to change the email, it still requires verification of the old email. I really don’t want to go down the path of modifying the source code—it’s frustrating. Could this be an is…

There is also the Require change email confirmation admin setting (default disabled) which would force all non-staff users to perform this check as well: <a class="lightbox" href="https://global.discourse-cdn.com/meta/original/4X/d/c/3/dc39496bb907c0b364bc1f4d9de7484b417ac552.jpeg" data-download-href="/uploads/short-url/vqbMlWp8Iox7YeYk0ZDXW1DU1fs.jpeg?dl=1" title="This image shows a settings screen where users can select whether to require non-staff users to confirm their old email address before changing it, but staff users always need to confirm their old email address.

You were right, regular users don’t need to verify their old email addresses. Thanks everyone for the suggestions. [翻转和禁用非…

Change the email Feild. After changing email address you can manually activate the user in the admin user page. There is also this plugin. It is marked broken but this post another user has said to have rewrote the plugin to work with newer discourse. If self hosted you could install. Just be s…

It looks like this topic is already solved, but for this: [画像] Heliosurge: Change the email Feild. After changing email address you can manually activate the user in the admin user page. I don’t think that would work? What are the steps you used so I can test it out.

I use this method to create null accounts for testing. Sign up with a fake email address then manually activate the account using the admin account. As an extra step I adjust the t at account email settings to not send after activation also used this on our old test server as it originally had no…

[画像] Heliosurge: also used this idea before to restore an anonymoized account by renaming back to previous user name. Adding the email address back andanualky reactivated the account. Can you help me understand your steps? I usually struggle to change the e-mail address of my test accounts. S…
