Change email address

lavita-dos opened this issue · comments

Hello folks,
I have a WordPress site. I migrated the site to SiteGround. Now I'm trying to change my User Profile email address. The change of email address authorization is in MailHog.
I see, "If this is correct, please click on the following link to change it:" I click the link.
Back in the User Profile page, "There is a pending change of your email to xxx@gmail.com"
The new email address is xxx@gmail.com
Is this correct:
Server Name: Gmail
Gmail SMTP server address: smtp.gmail.com
Gmail SMTP name: Lynn La Vita
The email address in my User Profile does not change.
What am I doing wrong? Thank you for your time.

This doesn't sound like a Mailhog issue. You're viewing the email sent by WordPres in Mailhog, but Mailhog is not involved in the process of changing an email address in your WordPress site. Perhaps check that the link in the email has the same domain name as the URL where you are checking the User Profile. For example, it may say "http://my-real-domain.com/confirm_email.php" instead of "http://localhost/confirm_email.php", ie. you're confirming it on the wrong site.

If that doesn't work, I can't help you any further as I don't know WordPress very well at all (and this isn't the place for WordPress support anyway). You would likely get more helpful support on a WordPress forum/subreddit/stackexchange site.
