Maybe someone can correct it if it's obviously wrong. Thanks. </p> http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/admin-email-change#post-4394 Mon, 12 Feb 2007 01:52:29 +0000 cadre 4394@http://bbpress.org/forums/ <p>Thanks for the info. That makes sesne that it would only be used for initial setup. I wasn't sure though because I'd changed the admin email address under the admin profile, then set up a normal user account with the same email address as what was listed in config.php and after I updated to v0.8, the email address for the normal user showed as "1" in the Admin panel. Just wanted to make sure I wouldn't break anything if I changed the address in config.php for future updates or anything. </p> http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/admin-email-change#post-4380 Sun, 11 Feb 2007 23:02:26 +0000 chrishajer 4380@http://bbpress.org/forums/ <p>My guess is that the email in the config.php is used for setup only. Afterward, I changed mine in my profile and it gets updated in my Wordpress user table. I changed the email address in my Wordpress user table, and it's changed in the profile in bbPress. None of those changes affected the setting in config.php. I requested a new password with the forgotten password link, for admin, and it went to the email address in the user profile, not the one in config.php.</p> <p>I am pretty sure the email that is used on an ongoing basis is the one in the profile, and the one in config.php is used for setup only.</p> <p>That's my best guess. For consistency, I think I would update both, even if only so that when you do an upgrade in the future, the one in config.php is still accurate. </p> http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/admin-email-change#post-4376 Sun, 11 Feb 2007 21:48:14 +0000 cadre 4376@http://bbpress.org/forums/ <p>I was just wondering if it would cause problems if I changed the admin email address in config.php after the install process had already taken place? I tried chagning it in the admin user profile after the install, but it had no effect on the address listed in config.php. Is it a good idea to make changes to config.php after the install script has run? or is there a better way to do it? </p>
