Unable to change WordPress admin mail

Question

I want to change my WordPress admin email. If I am doing from the WordPress settings, it is showing request pending, you will receive a confirmation email. But I am not getting any mail from WordPress. I also try to change it from the database but the changed email is not reflecting in WordPress.

1. Add the following lines on top of your active themes functions.php save the file

2. Reload your admin once then comment the added code

    update_option( 'admin_email', 'your_new_email@gmail.com' ); update_option( 'new_admin_email', 'your_new_email@gmail.com' );
