Adding an Admin User in WordPress
Once connected to your WordPress site, you need to locate your WordPress theme’s functions.php file. It would be at a location like this:
/yoursite.com/wp-content/themes/your-current-theme/functions.php
Now you need to add this code at the bottom of the file.
function cww_admin_account(){
$user = 'Username';
$pass = 'Password';
$email = 'email@domain.com';
if ( !username_exists( $user ) && !email_exists( $email ) ) {
$user_id = wp_create_user( $user, $pass, $email );
$user = new WP_User( $user_id );
$user->set_role( 'administrator' );
} }
add_action('init','cww_admin_account');
