WordPress MU

Hello,

I have found a bug: when changing the admin e-mail, a mail is sent to the new address with a hash code to confirm the change. But after following the link, the old e-mail address is stil there...

I have debuged the code and found out that the new e-mail address should be saved in the options with the hash code to check the confirmation. The issue is that the new e-mail is never saved in options...

to fix that, edit wp-admin/admin-functions.php

and add update_option('new_admin_email',$newadminemail);

in the function update_option_new_admin_email like below:


function update_option_new_admin_email($old_value, $value) {
if ( $value == get_option( 'admin_email' ) || !is_email( $value ) )
return;

$hash = md5( $value.time().mt_rand() );
$newadminemail = array(
"hash" => $hash,
"newemail" => $value
);
update_option('new_admin_email',$newadminemail);


What version of WPMU are you running? I thought Donncha had gotten all of these.

You may want to enter this over on teh trac:

http://trac.mu.wordpress.org

That's where actual bugs and their fixes go.

Thanks,

I'm using a nightly build from mid-october.

I have checked the code in Trac and the issue is not fixed.

How can I create a ticket in Trac? I didn't see any link to create a ticket or register a new account.

You should be able to log in to trac with the same account as here.

I just started investigating this same issue.

Your solution worked like a charm.

Thank you for posting the fix DrLobo!
