HELP! Admin email

Permalink
I am setting up a demo site for someone that I will later switch to this site. As I'm putting the site together I'm gonna put my email address in when I install, but how do I change that later. I keep seeing in the forums that people are talking about the admin account in dashboard. So, I'm checking things out on MY main site to be sure I can find how to change the email address after I install on the demo site. I have no admin account in dashboard. I see where some say to look in "Users and Groups," but I have no accounts in there. Another said to go to sitename.com/index.php/members/ ... when I do that a page comes up with a link to "admin." When I click on it I get a page that says, "No page could be found at this address." In simple terms and directions, please, where could I possibly find where to change the initial email address later.

Thanks for all your help!

Start by making sure you have completely logged out of your site.
Re-login.
Go to Dashboard > Users and Groups. This should list every user of the website including the admin/superuser. click the admin name. this will take you to a page where you can choose to edit the user. click 'edit user' and in there you can change the user's email.

Not sure what's up here. When I login (and I CAN login, so it's obvious I have an admin account), when I go to Dashboard > Users and Groups ... the default tab at the top that we are working with is "Find Users" ... Under that it says "User Search" and nothing else. No users, no boxes to check or uncheck ... nothing.

I've opened this up on two other computers, so the cache should not be a problem.

Are you using the "Filter by Group" option? (under Dashboard > Users and Groups) if there are any boxes checked there, uncheck them.

The (super)admin account is not listed under the "administrator" filter.

if all boxes are unchecked you should see your (admin) account.

I'm not sure if this'll fix it but open your site with /tools/upgrade?force=1 or index.php/tools/upgrade?force=1 behind it.

This forcefully "upgrades" your concrete to your current version. it might fix that page too if it is a database problem with the basic concrete install.

Edit: if this doesn't work you can always add a new admin account for the other person to use.
to make sure your mail adres doesn't get used as sending adress you can add the following to the site.php

define('FORM_BLOCK_SENDER_EMAIL', 'insert sender mail here');

This didn't work either ... still no admin info (ANYWHERE). The "edit" you added, may work for other sites I create, but this is mine and mine only. So, at present I don't need it, but I can see where it will come in handy to know this. Thank you.

Any other ideas? BTW ... I'm using the current version 5.4.0.5 (current at this writing).

I'm sorry, I have no other ideas at the moment.

I take it you already tried that search function under the user menu to see if it would find your account?
