The discussion revolves around finding the “verify old email” template in Discourse. hiddenseal noted that the link {site}/u/verify-old-email/{token} was broken but worked when “verify” was replaced with “confirm”. JammyDodger suggested searching for ‘old_email’ in the site texts, which led to the discovery of the correct template: user_notifications.confirm_old_email_add.text_body_template. hiddenseal found that their template had “verify” instead of “confirm”, possibly due to a past edit, as suggested by Simon_Manning. Additionally, codinghorror noted that certain templates, like the staff password change confirmation, cannot be edited to prevent phishing.
with a minor difference. I gather that for staff and admin there are two emails: confirm old one and confirm new one. @pfaffman found the right template for the second email and I have no issues with that. However, the first email contains a link of the type
{site}/u/verify-old-email/{token}
and it is broken. If, however, I replace verify with confirm it works just fine. The problem is I don’t see an email template for “verifying old email” in admin panel and I wonder if it’s somewhere within Discourse source code.
Could someone please direct me to the “verify old email” template?
Did it have the highlight of having been edited? Perhaps you or someone else had edited it in the past so that edit was being kept rather than following any updates.
