wp_create_user() WordPress Function

The wp_create_user function is used to create a new user in WordPress. This function takes two arguments: the user's login name and the user's email address. The function will return the new user's ID if the user is successfully created, or false if the user could not be created.

wp_create_user( string $username, string $password, string $email = '' ) #

function wp_create_user( $username, $password, $email = '' ) {
	$user_login = wp_slash( $username );
	$user_email = wp_slash( $email );
	$user_pass  = $password;

	$userdata = compact( 'user_login', 'user_email', 'user_pass' );
	return wp_insert_user( $userdata );
}
