This function intercepts changes to the administrator's email address. It keeps the address from being updated and instead sends the user a confirmation email, with a link to confirm the change.
<?php update_option_new_admin_email( $old_value, $value ); ?>
Note: This function is not intended to be called directly! See below.
This function does not return a value.
This function is hooked to the 'update_option_new_admin_email' and 'add_option_new_admin_email' actions by default. If for some reason you would like to disable it and allow administrators to change their email address without confirmation, you can do this:
<?php remove_action( 'add_option_new_admin_email', 'update_option_new_admin_email' ); remove_action( 'update_option_new_admin_email', 'update_option_new_admin_email' ); /** * Disable the confirmation notices when an administrator * changes their email address. * * @see http://codex.wordpress.com/Function_Reference/update_option_new_admin_email */ function wpdocs_update_option_new_admin_email( $old_value, $value ) { update_option( 'admin_email', $value ); } add_action( 'add_option_new_admin_email', 'wpdocs_update_option_new_admin_email', 10, 2 ); add_action( 'update_option_new_admin_email', 'wpdocs_update_option_new_admin_email', 10, 2 ); ?>
Since: 3.0.0
update_option_new_admin_email() is located in wp-admin/includes/ms.php
