Description
I don't think this is exactly a bug. When I am logged in as super and go to the home page, I get this prompt:
_Administration email verification
Please verify that the administration email for this website is still correct. Why is this important?(opens in a new tab)
Current administration email: cunycommons@gmail.com
This email may be different from your personal email address._
I clicked on update just to see what it was referring to, and found another confusing thing there - the "tagline" (see attached).

Hi Marilyn,
The "Administration email verification" prompt is not a bug. It's something that WordPress asks for every six months.
The tagline does seem like a bug though. "Instructor: Molly Mosher" shouldn't be the main site's blogdescription.
Boone, I did some checking to see which other site had the same tagline and found that the following site had the same one: https://engl110mosher.commons.gc.cuny.edu/. That site was created back in January, which correlates to the big syncing bug in #15170. That bug is fixed, but we did not check to see if the wp_1_options table needed to be cross-referenced to see if any options were overwritten; we only handled the wp_1_posts DB table. For now, I'm going to use our previous tagline from before: Building CUNY communities since 2009. Since the wp_1_options DB table isn't as pertinent as the wp_1_posts DB table, perhaps we do not need to do anything further.
Righto - I know that prompt, just wasn't sure about the rest of it. Thanks for looking into it!
- Status changed from New to Resolved
- Target version set to Not tracked
Thanks for confirming, Ray. Your assessment sounds good to me - I don't think we need any further action.
