In this article, the process of creating and editing new users on WordPress is explained. Users can be added by going to Users > Add New and filling in required fields such as username, email, first name, and last name. A password can be generated by WordPress or entered manually. User notifications and roles can also be set for each user. Groups such as Subscriber, Contributor, Author, Editor, and Administrator are available in WordPress. The article also discusses editing user information under Users > All Users. The importance of creating new user groups and managing permissions is emphasized.
In many cases, you may want to create a new user to allow other members to write posts or add 1 admin user for specific tasks. This article will guide you through the process of creating one or more users.
Instructions for creating a new user
To create a new user, navigate to Users > Add New. Fill in the required information for this user.
In some cases, there are required fields that must be filled, such as username and email. Other fields like first name, last name, website, and password are optional. You can also choose to show a password generated by WordPress or create your own.
Make sure to enter a strong password. If it’s not strong enough, WordPress will prompt you to confirm the use of a weak password. You can also select to send a user notification email and assign a specific user role such as subscriber, contributor, author, editor, or administrator.
After filling in all the details, click on Add New User to complete the user creation process.
Edit User Information
To add or edit information of a user you have created, navigate to Users > All users. Find the user you want to edit and select Edit.
The Edit User option functions similarly to Edit Profile, as explained in the previous steps.
