 * Since I activated the plugin, the WP’s command to change admin email does not
   seem to work. WP sends the email with the wp-admin in the URL and fails to update
   the email.

 * Hmm, what is the URL that confirms the password change?

 * Hi, I have the same problem. I found this support topic [https://wordpress.org/support/topic/admin-url-reset-link-adminhash-not-working-with-wps-hide-login/](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/admin-url-reset-link-adminhash-not-working-with-wps-hide-login/)
   that says there is a fix in WPS Hide Login Version 1.3.1
 * But I still have these two Problems:
    WPS Hide Login 1.5.5 is active. Parameter
   for Login URL is set to: wpacy, Parameter for Redirection url is set to: 404.
   Login via my-domainname/wpacy works ok. Problem: a) Change email address for 
   Administrator on General Options page -> receive email with a link to confirm
   the change, this link Looks like my-domainname/wp-admin/options.php?adminhash
   =6b883165b4d8c17e72873be30e6a2ebb This link brings the 404 invalid-link-page.
   b) Change email address for a non-admin user on user profile page -> receive 
   email with a link to confirm the change, this link Looks like my-domainname/wp-
   admin/profile.php?newuseremail=407dbe5fcc6c575255eef86f187edda2 This link brings
   the 404 invalid-link-page.
 * Thank you for looking into this!

 * Umm. Is there going to be a fix to this or not?? I am using the plugin up to 
   date as of June 2020. This trouble was submitted over 6 months ago. Am I going
   to have to delete this plugin for lack of troubleshooting? If I cannot update
   my admin email on WordPress this plugin is rendered useless.
