Question

This question is about WordPress cms.

How to create a new admin user with wanted password using a simple script, hosted on same site?

Like, we have site http://example.com/

And the script http://example.com/ourscript.php

If we open the script page, there should be created one more admin user in admin-panel.

It can be done with some mysql-query.

Thanks.

You’ll want to do two queries:

1.)
insert into wp_users values('','admin_username','user_password','admin','user_email','user_url','registration_date','',0,'admin')

2.)
insert into wp_usermeta values ('','user_id','wp_capabilities','a:1:{s:13:"administrator";s:1:"1";}')

You’ll need to bare a few things in mind:

• the username must be unique
• the password must be hashed with
  wp_hash_password()
• the user_id in the second statement
  is the insert_id of the first
  statement.

Here is some sample code:

<?php
    //get required support files
        require("database.class.php");
        require("wordpress/functions.php");

    //build the first insert array and send
        $array['user_login'] = "james";
        $array['user_pass'] = wp_hash_password("test");
        $array['user_nicename'] = "James";
        $array['user_email'] = "[e-mail]";
        $array['user_url'] = "http://jtgraphic.net";
        $array['user_registered'] = date("Y-m-d H:i:s");
        $array['user_status'] = 0;
        $array['display_name'] = "James";

        $user_id = $database->insert("wp_users",$array);

    //build the second insert array and send
        $array['user_id'] = $user_id;
        $array['meta_key'] = "wp_capabilities";
        $array['meta_value'] = "a:1:{s:13:"administrator";s:1:"1";}";

        $database->insert("wp_usermeta",$array);
?>
