Turn Admin Email Verification Off stops WordPress from asking about e-mail verification every six months or so.
As of April 2026, Turn Admin Email Verification Off is a WordPress core plugin with 100 active installations and a 0/5 rating0. It has been downloaded 2.8K+ times in total. Requires WordPress 2.3+ and PHP false+. Available on WordPress.org since 2022. Last updated 1 year ago — may have compatibility concerns. Top alternative: WP Downgrade | Specific Core Version.
Starting WordPress 5.3, WordPress added an e-mail verification step that will come into action about every six months. This step is to validate if the used e-mail address is still in use. On sites with large amounts of users, this can be a very handy feature. On sites with just one user, it can be considered an unwanted nag. This ultra lightweight plugin switches this feature off.
This is an UltraFast plugin. Meaning there is no settings screen. No database connection. No input / output. It’s just a single line of code.
We thank the WordPress team for introducing these checks in 5.3, knowing there are a lot of usecases where this check is important.
