As subj says. Trying to change it requires confirmation from old email, but access to the old email was lost.I would have thought that’s that primary reason for someone wanting to change their email. What am I missing?

If you’re an admin you must approve the email address change at the old address. The solution is to make that account no longer be an admin, change the address, and then make admin again.

Is this email change for a user or for an Admin? If it’s for a user, an Admin can change that for them.

It’s a moderator, not admin. Do I still have to make them a normal user first? They already initiated a change and the system said a confirmation from old address is needed. EDIT: As an admin, I can’t seem to change the email of any normal user either (non-mod, non-admin) from Admin panel > Users. …

I’ve just given that a run through to test and I received an email to the test user’s old address saying: > This email change was requested by a site admin. If you did not request this change, please contact a site admin. Which is different than I remember. Not sure if I’m also doing something wei…

I was just testing this as well on this mornings build and when I change a users email, as an admin, it only sends mail to the new address.

Hahaha. Yup. That’s what you get for having all your test emails look the same and go to the same inbox. :slight_smile: I will strike my idiocy from the record. :+1:
