How to change a WordPress user email in phpMyAdmin

 

If you need to edit a user’s email address in WordPress but you don’t have access to the administration and you have control over the web hosting, here’s how you can change it.

 

1. Log in to cPanel. The login details are supplied by your hosting company or web designer, who set up the hosting on your behalf.

2. Look for phpMyAdmin and click on it.
