 * In 5.3 another annoying thing: verification of admin email. Could you enter an
   option to eradicate this nonsense? Admin email will not change, ever. We try 
   hard to downtune on superfluous and extra things to attend to and are tuning 
   down on accounts for everything. This one we think is not in our best interest.

 * You can use [the admin_email_check_interval filter](https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/hooks/admin_email_check_interval/)
   to change the amount of time between these checks. If you set it to 0 then the
   verification query will never be triggered.
 * To make this happen you can add the following code to your theme’s functions.
   php file or a custom plugin:
 *     ```
       add_filter( 'admin_email_check_interval', 'custom_remove_admin_email_verification');
       function custom_remove_admin_email_verification ( $int ) {
         return 0;
       }
       ```
   
 * I haven’t tested that, but it should work.
 * That being said, I would generally recommend against doing this as the admin 
   email verification is there as a security measure to make sure that you always
   receive important notifications and updates about your site.

 * I just published a plugin to disable the email address verification prompt: [https://wordpress.org/plugins/disable-administration-email-verification-prompt/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/disable-administration-email-verification-prompt/)
