Whether you run a WordPress community with 1,000 members or a WooCommerce store with 100,000 orders, sometimes for testing you want to change all the account emails to something like “[email protected]”
After all, you don’t want to accidentally send a test email to all those users!
How to Change All WordPress User Emails to [email protected]
Run the following SQL query on the database for recent versions of phpMyAdmin:
UPDATE `wp_users` SET `user_email`='[email protected]'
Run the following SQL query on the database for earlier versions of phpMyAdmin:
UPDATE wp_users SET user_email='[email protected]'
This will set all WordPress users’ email addresses to “[email protected]”.
How To Update All WooCommerce Order Email Addresses to [email protected]
If you are using WooCommerce, do the above and THEN do this for newer versions of phpMyAdmin:
UPDATE `wp_usermeta` SET `meta_value` = '[email protected]' WHERE `meta_key` = 'billing_email'
If you are using WooCommerce, do the above and THEN do this for older versions of phpMyAdmin:
UPDATE wp_usermeta SET meta_value = '[email protected]' WHERE meta_key = 'billing_email'
Pretty nifty, eh?
