Site shows URL instead of "meta title" after deleted few plugins (not any SEO plugin was deleted)
www.Pifeed.net
after i deleted some useless plugins due to load-time issues the blog pages show url instead of title tag, though meta title tag is there in source code..
thanks for answers | your title tag is inside the script tag. It must be placed outside script. So you have to close the script tag for "adsbygoogle". | stackexchange-wordpress | {

POEDIT - Continue with translations
I'm translating my web from English. I already found some .po and .mo translations in my language, but translations are not completed, so some texts are still in English.
Thing is, that when I open already translated .po file, every message there is translated, but total count of messages is 160. When I open original english .po file, there are more than 220 messages.
This probably means, that I need to add remaining 60 messages into my translated file, and translate it.
Can you please tell me how ?
I don't want to translate whole thing again, when I need just 60 messages
Thank you so much! | You can edit .po files in text editor. Structure is very simple (some header, do not touch it) and a number of translations like that:
#: 404.php:21
msgid "Sorry! Page Not Found !"
msgstr ""
You can ignore comments started with #.
msgid - string how it appears in php code
msgstr - translation (if empty, msgid string will be shown on site)
You can find and simply copy 60 sets of 3 strings each from English .po to your-language .po by text editor. Then open poeditor and tranlate new 60 strings, or even simply do this job in text editor. You will need poedit only to create a new .mo from your .po file. | stackexchange-wordpress | {

WordPress debug messages not displaying
WordPress is not displaying any errors / debug messages, even though I double- and triple-checked every setting.
**In php.ini, I have**
`error_reporting = E_ALL & ~E_NOTICE display_errors = On display_startup_errors = On log_errors = On track_errors = On`
**In wp-config.php, I have:**
`define('WP_DEBUG', true); define('WP_DEBUG_LOG', true); define('WP_DEBUG_DISPLAY', true); @ini_set('display_errors', 1); error_reporting(E_ALL^E_NOTICE); `
Still, no errors are displayed at all. I verified that it is not a general PHP issue by testing it with an erroneous php file, like this: `<?php askdjh akjdsh ?>`. The error was displayed correctly. | The problem was caused by a plugin (wp-spamfree), which simply set `error_reporting(0)`.
So if anyone has the same problem, my advice is to search your whole `wp-content/plugins` directory for words like `error_reporting`, `display_errors` and similar to find out if any of your plugins tamper with these settings.
You can either disable these plugins, or fix it yourself for now and let the developers know that they should not do this.
**Fixes:**
1. One way to fix this is to simply remove the unwanted `error_reporting(0)`.
2. However, if you want to make sure that the plugin won't display any errors (which I think is stupid), another way would be to replace `error_reporting(0)` with `$errlvl = error_reporting(0);`.
This will save your current, desired error reporting level in `$errlvl`. The function will be executed with `error_reporting = 0`. At the end of the function you can then reset it back to the previous, desired level by calling `error_reporting($errlvl);`. | stackexchange-wordpress | {

Linking to the most recent post in a Custom Post Type
I found this wonderful code that allows you to create a link to the most recent post in a category, and it's perfect for what I need. I tried it out, it works great. However, it doesn't include posts from Custom Post Types. (I'm using Wordpress Pods plugin < to create my CPTs.) How do I modify this to include the posts from my custom post types? Any help is appreciated. Thanks!!

'category_name' => $request->query_vars['category_name'],

Add wrapper to only youtube videos via embed_oembed_html filter function

if ($url == '
return '<div class="responsive-container">'.$html.'</div>';

else {
return $html;
}

Get content and send to 3rd party
I've been asked to create a WordPress plugin that will basically show a button on the "edit" and the "new" pages of the admin panel which (when clicking the button) verify an API key (which you can set in the settings) and then send the post contents to a 3rd party.
When the 3rd party receives the text, they'll do their work on it and send it back through email to the website owner.
Now, the question is:
How do I get that button on the WP-admin on the new and edit pages of WordPress, is it even possible to get the current post's content, and send it to the 3rd party?

What does Wordpress do if I save a post without content/title?
I've created (as part of a theme) a few metaboxes for my post type. The metaboxes allow the user to interact with different instances of tinyMCE. Everything is working as it should, however, I can't for the life of me figure out which hook to use for publishing a post that is missing a title/content.
I've had a look at `/wp-includes/post.php` and was not able to find what I am looking for.
My question is: What happens when I click "Publish" when the post is missing content and a title? I know it gets created and is set as a "Draft" but it doesn't run the `save_post` hook. I'd also like to mention that I've tried using `new_to_draft`.
I've attempted using `draft_post` but I assume that because this is probably "auto-draft" it may not work (I have also tried "auto-draft_post").
add_action( 'save_post', array(__CLASS__, 'savePost'));
static public function savePost($post_id) {
echo 'hello';
} | Ever since the solution mentioned here, WP has been updated and now allows you to manipulate the save process of `wp_insert_post`. If you look at the lines 3035 to 3057 (WP 4.7) the result of the check for empty title and content is stored in `$maybe_empty`. This variable is then run through a filter called `wp_insert_post_empty_content`. If that filter returns something that evaluates to 'true' the save process is halted. So you could have it return false to overrule the check for emptiness:
add_filter ('wp_insert_post_empty_content', function() { return false; });
**Update**. Note that post information is passed to the filter as well, so you can write a more sophisticated filter, for instance checking for the post type before deciding to return true or false, or impose a maximum length on the title, and so on. | stackexchange-wordpress | {

To save you grief, any edits to the core files provided by WordPress will potentially break your website if you modify it incorrectly. Also with each new update provided by WordPress, it will overwrite and re-add the files to their default/updated state.
To hide the search, add the following to your child theme's `function.php`:
add_action( 'wp_before_admin_bar_render', 'wpse_254662_toolbar', 10, 1 );
function wpse_254662_toolbar() {

How to display woocommerce products of one wordpress account in another wordpress account?

Wordpress "HTTP error." when uploading Media - IIS
I am receiving the error message:
"HTTP error."
in Wordpress when trying to upload a 300 MB FLV file to the media library.
**Environment**
* Wordpress 4.7.2
* PHP 5.6.27
* IIS 7
* Windows Server 2008 R2 | The most common answer to this question is:
Check your php.ini settings and make sure the following variables are larger than the size of the file you're trying to upload (in this example we'll set the values to 500 MB):
upload_max_filesize = 500M
post_max_size = 500M
**However, in my scenario this was not the solution.** Instead we needed to do the following:
1. Launch Internet Information Services (IIS) Manager
2. Select the IIS server object in the Connections list on the left.
3. Double-click: Request Filtering
4. Edit Feature Settings...
5. Verify "Maximum allowed content length" is set to a value larger than your file size. The maximum value for this setting is 4294967295.
You may have site specific settings that override the global settings. If this is the case, step 2 is:
2. Select your site object in the Connections list on the left. | stackexchange-wordpress | {

Storing an array of objects related to each user

The list of objects are unique for each user, so they can't be shared. | If the stdClass objects are all identical in structure, I suggest to create a specific table for them and use a reference to connect to the related user.

How to setup Landing HTML5 page in WordPress site
I have setup WordPress-oriented hosting on HostGator and I will be building a WordPress Site soon. At this point, it is a generic 'Hello World' default page. In the meantime, I found a fantastic HTML5 template for "Coming Soon" landing page.
What would be the most reasonable way to setup the "Coming Soon" HTML5 landing page? Does it make sense to try to place it 'within' WordPress or maybe remove the WordPress completely and have the HTML5 only, until the WordPress is built? | So yes, if you want to _only_ show the "Coming soon" page, _and_ keep working on your WordPress site at the same time, the best option is to move your WordPress installation somewhere else and only leave the HTML5 page.
Another option would be through plugins - there are plugins that exist to force all URLs on your site to go back to this special page, unless you are logged in. But you'd have to make sure the plugin in question allows you to modify the html of the default page it shows.
Any other solution that I can think of is going to be incomplete (i.e. people could still go look at mysite.com/wp-admin or any other URL they can figure out by themselves) and would prevent you from working on all or part of your site.

wp_register_style('news', plugins_url('simple-news/css/news.css'));
wp_enqueue_style('news');
}
} | By default `get_option` gets you the value of your option.
I don't know anything about the specific option or the way it's configured. But basic knowledge of PHP suggests to me that the option `simple_news_settings` doesn't have an array key of `simple_news_checkbox_css` in some cases. So PHP is telling you the array doesn't have the key (or index, as that's the language of the error). An `isset($options['simple_news_checkbox_css'])` check before you try to access the value would stop PHP from complaining. | stackexchange-wordpress | {

The first part of the code can always be the same (i.e. "data-track="navigation|click") the part at the end should copy the text from the link. In the example above that is "article-index", but it should just take whatever the text for the link is. (not sure if spaces are allowed....)
I haven't been able to do it myself, and I don't want to edit the core wordpress files. | So there's actually a filter for this, provided your theme doesn't use its own menu walker class:
function add_data_track_attribute( $atts, $item, $args ) {
$title = apply_filters( 'the_title', $item->title, $item->ID );
// $title = sanitize_title($title); // if you need a slug-like title
$atts['data-track'] = 'navigation|click|'.$title;
return $atts;
}
add_filter('nav_menu_link_attributes', 'add_data_track_attribute', 10, 3);
Note the commented-out line: I'm not sure what the data-track attribute does and, as you say, it might not allow spaces. If it doesn't, that line will transform the title into a slug, which should be acceptable for this.

Why there is a 302 status when my account and password are right?
I captured all the http requests and responses when to login my wordpress with account and password.
Package number 22 is my http request when to login with account and password.
Package number 26 is my http response when to login with account and password.
Why there is a response ,package number 22,the status is 302? | Packet number 22 is not a request, but an aswer to a request. Status 302 just means the requested resource has been found and normally you are temporarily being redirected somewhere else. It doesn't say password is wrong or something liie that. Even on a successful login you are normally being redirected to the page you originally requested. In your case I guess the Response with 302 status code also redirects you to the page /wp/admin/.

Are we allowed to use the Allman (BSD) indent style when coding WordPress plugins and themes?
I am a real fan of the **Allman (BSD)** coding indent style. However, when i review the top rated plugins on WordPress, i am finding them using the **K &R** coding indent style.
Is there a requirement from WordPress.org that forces users to use the **K &R** indent style when developing plugins or themes? I read all the manual but couldn't get a clear answer on which indent style we are allowed to use.
Your help will be greatly appreciated. | WordPress.org does not have any hard requirements for code styles for plugins or themes.
In the plugin guidelines, the relevant section is #4, "Keep your code (mostly) human readable." Mainly it is about obfuscation. The most relevant line is this:
> We recommend following WordPress Core Coding Standards.
Note the word _recommend_ , there. This is not a hard requirement.
The relevant portion of the theme review guidelines doesn't really mention code style directly, so there's no requirements for this kind of thing for themes either.
I'm kind of glad that there is some freedom here, but you will find that there's plenty of very messy code in the plugin directory, that doesn't really follow any one code style consistently at all. That's allowed—for better or worse. :-) | stackexchange-wordpress | {

Is there a way to schedule automatic WordPress core updates?

Is it possible for a plugin to force reading and writing of uploaded images to a database instead of to a filesystem?
I am trying to configure a WordPress site using a server cluster and independent file systems. The problem is keeping the wp_content/uploads folder synchronized across all the server instances. My preferred solution is to "write" and "read" these files to/from a shared database.

How do I get a certain set of posts from the database?
We've just finished redesigning a blog that has almost daily posts.
Over the past month that we were redesigning it, there have been a large number of new posts that now need to be reincorporated into the database before we deploy the new site.
To get these new posts and upload them into the new site's database, what is the procedure? My guess is that we need to:
1. Export a sub-section of wp_posts and then import that into the new site.
2. Download recent content from wp-uploads and upload that into the same directory in the new site.
So when I'm exporting that most recent sub-section of wp-posts, what is the procedure to follow? And how do I coordinate that with the corresponding records in the wp_postmeta table?

What is the difference between current_page_parent and current_page_ancestor?
In the function `wp_page_menu` there is an auto-generated `classes` to the list elements and the function generates `current_page_parent` and `current_page_ancestor` to a parent menu item if I clicked a child menu item (I mean if the current page is the child menu element). So now why does WordPress generate two different classes for the same element.
![enter image description here]( | These classes are explained a bit more on the page for `wp_list_pages`. But the words 'parent' and 'ancestor' give it away already.
A parent is an ancestor. A grandparent is also an ancestor, but not a parent.
If your hierarchy is only two deep, there will only be parents and children. So in that case all parents are ancestors and the two classes have the same effect. But when your hierarchy is deeper, the two classes get different meanings. | stackexchange-wordpress | {

Why I can't add a script-code into theme-settings without 403-forbidden?
we (my son and me) modified a script - '/js/sticky-menu.js' - and it only works when Cloudflare 'Rocket Loader' is off.
Following the tutorial for Rocket Loader I tried to exclude the script by adding this code into the header (using theme settings of Genesis):
<script data-cfasync="false" src="/javascript.js"></script>

> 403 Forbidden
>
> A potentially unsafe operation has been detected in your request to this site.
Also using the complete path of the script doesn't work.
Here is the URL of my website.
Have you a solution for this problem?
kind regards, Rainer Brumshagen | # Solution:
Because the theme JavaScript is not in:
/js/sticky-menu.js
Rather, it's in your theme folder (as your theme name is `lifestyle-pro`, as found from your site's HTML):
/wp-content/themes/lifestyle-pro/js/sticky-menu.js
So your `<script>` CODE should be:
<script data-cfasync="false" src="/wp-content/themes/lifestyle-pro/js/sticky-menu.js"></script>
# Bonus:
This can be made better with the use of the WordPress function `get_stylesheet_directory_uri()`. In that case, your CODE will be:
<script data-cfasync="false" src="<?php echo get_stylesheet_directory_uri(); ?>/js/sticky-menu.js"></script>
An even better method is to use `wp_enqueue_script()` function in combination with `wp_enqueue_scripts` filter hook, as described in this WordPress document. | stackexchange-wordpress | {

WordPress Theme redirects to the Index page - Theme customizer problem
I bought this WP Theme: WP Theme
I installed it on my webspace, everything worked.
Now I would like to customize it, but everytime I click on the customizer the theme redirects me back to the index page, is this a general issue or does this happens only on this theme? | Roman, opening the theme customizer should open the special theme customize option not to redirect to the index page.
You can check if this is theme problem if you set default WordPress theme for a moment and open the customizer from there. That theme should work well with the customizer.

Changing the default wp_search_stopwords
I want to change the default stopwords in the wordpress search. I'm sure it's easy but I can't figure it out.
Per this < the default stopwords are:
$words = explode( ',', _x( 'about,an,are,as,at,be,by,com,for,from,how,in,is,it,of,on,or,that,the,this,to,was,what,when,where,who,will,with,www',
'Comma-separated list of search stopwords in your language' ) );
So, I would think I could just add_filter it in like this:
add_filter( 'wp_search_stopwords', array('meh') );
But `meh` is still being applied to the search results.
I found this < which has the following at the end, but I don't know what to do in the `do whatever you want` part:
function a_whatever() {
remove_filter( 'wp_search_stopwords', __FUNCTION__ );
// do whatever you want
}
add_filter( 'wp_search_stopwords', 'a_whatever' );
Thanks! | You are close: you indeed need to define a filter, but you've not quite gotten the filter definition right:
function add_meh_stopword($stopwords) {
$stopwords[] = 'meh'; // *add* "meh" to the list of stopwords
// if instead you want to completely replace the list of stopwords
// use $stopwords = array('meh');
return $stopwords;
}
add_filter( 'wp_search_stopwords', 'add_meh_stopword');
The second argument to the `add_filter` function takes a "callable", i.e. in this case a function name. That function then returns the modified list of stopwords.

How can I load a page template from a plugin?
I want to add page templates to a theme directly from the plugin. The idea is that the template would show up in the dropdown under Page Attributes, and all the code would need to be in the plugin.
Any tips on how to achieve that ? | You can use the `theme_page_templates` filter to add templates to the dropdown list of page templates like this:
function wpse255804_add_page_template ($templates) {
$templates['my-custom-template.php'] = 'My Template';
return $templates;
}
add_filter ('theme_page_templates', 'wpse255804_add_page_template');
Now WP will be searching for `my-custom-template.php` in the theme directory, so you will have to redirect that to your plugin directory by using the `page_template` filter like this:
function wpse255804_redirect_page_template ($template) {
if ('my-custom-template.php' == basename ($template))
$template = WP_PLUGIN_DIR . '/mypluginname/my-custom-template.php';
return $template;

How plugins_loaded works?
I am developing a plugin for woocommerce payment gateway.
When I put the code of class definition inside the callback function who is fired by 'plugins_loaded',it works.
<?php
add_action('plugins_loaded','WC_test_gateway_plugin');
function WC_test_gateway_plugin{
class my_gateway extends WC_Payment_Gateways{
//code
}
}
?>
But when I put it into global scope, it will show that the WC_Payment_Gateways is undefined.
<?php
class my_gateway extends WC_Payment_Gateways{
//code
}
?>
What's the difference between these 2 practices?
Is it a bad practice to put class definition inside callback function? Any better way for it? | Use your class definition in a separate file, say in `/your-plugin-dir/classes/my-gateway.php` like usual:
<?php
class my_gateway extends WC_Payment_Gateways {
//code
}
?>
Then use this CODE to include the file on `plugins_loaded` action from your main plugin file:
add_action('plugins_loaded', 'WC_test_gateway_plugin');
function WC_test_gateway_plugin() {
require_once plugin_dir_path( __FILE__ ) . 'classes/my-gateway.php';
// instantiate your class here or in your class file or anywhere after this function is called.
}
Now you'll get access to `WC_Payment_Gateways` because by now `WC_Payment_Gateways` is defined, since WordPress fires `plugin_loaded` action hook only after all the plugins have loaded their main files. | stackexchange-wordpress | {

function query_posts disabling current_page_menu class
I have a header and a footer menu (they're the same: Primary Menu). When I'm on a page, wordpress adds classes like `current_page_menu`. But on pages where I use the `query_posts()` function the menus **after** this function dont have those classes added like `current_page_menu` etc.
Here is my code that is causing the bug:
<?php
$title_slug = strtolower(str_replace( " ", "-" , the_title_attribute('echo=0') ) );

$cat_id = $id_obj->term_id;
query_posts( 'cat='.$cat_id.'&post_status=publish,future&paged='.get_query_var('paged') );
?>
This code is very useful, though. As it ensures to create a category page by adding a page and selecting the category page template instead of just a link to that category. I had to do this because my category pages need to have child pages.
I'd be greatful if anyone knows a solution! | The issue is caused by the `query_posts` function, this function alters the global $wp_query which the menu walker uses to check and add classes like `current_page_menu` to menu items.
A solution would be to write a new custom query and loop through that than using `query_posts`.
$title_slug = strtolower(str_replace( " ", "-" , the_title_attribute('echo=0') ) );
$id_obj = get_category_by_slug($title_slug);
$cat_id = $id_obj->term_id;
$args = 'cat='.$cat_id.'&post_status=publish,future&paged='.get_query_var('paged');
// The Query
$the_query = new WP_Query( $args );

Compress WordPress core files ( JS and CSS )
I checked WordPress core files, and I found a lot of uncompressed JS and CSS files. Is there any disadvantage, if I compress these files using YUI-Compressor?
Secondary question: Why didn't compress these files
Thanks! | Minifying the CSS and JavaScript files is totally optional.
The most important result is that your files are going to take less space, and be served more quickly. This will result in saving bandwidth, if you have a limited plan. These files will be executed in the client, so the more optimized they are, the better user experience they create.
The core files are not compressed by default because developers may need to debug/modify the code, and it's pretty hard to debug a minified code, until you unminify it first.
However, sometimes compressing JS files may result in errors and jQuery conflicts. But if the plugin does it's job neat, then there shouldn't be a problem.

"Page Array" displaying in title bar on Front Page
The issue is that the text "Page Array" is displaying in the title bar instead of what was previously there, which was just a "|" separator.
I'm trying to puzzle out why this issue appeared...it came up as I was doing some maintenance work, updating some Wordpress REST API calls to the current syntax...but I can't trace this back to anything I changed.
Has anyone experienced this issue, or do you have suggestions about how to go about debugging it, or override it?
This theme was built using the Sage starter theme.
Any advice is much appreciated. This post has some information but I could track down a function that was causing the issue: < | There are many ways to set page title in wordpress.
1) In admin area go to settings >> General Settings. Set "Site Title" field and "Tagline" field values.
2) You can set your page title using wp_title() function to set the title of your page.
Using this function you can change your page title based on your page.
3) For SEO purpose you can use All in One SEO plugin which allows you to set page title and meta data for each and every page.
4) Also, You can use following jQuery code to remove "page array" string from your page title at the time of page load.
<script>
jQuery(document).ready(function () {
var title = jQuery(this).attr('title');
if(title.contains("– Page Array")){
var title = title.replace("– Page Array", "");

How to add/manage Followers (email subscribers) via API?
I have a Wordpress blog and a Magento store. Both sites are using some kind of Newsletter plugin but I only do want to manage subscriptions via Wordpress.
The Wordpress blog is hosted on Wordpress.com and I'm using the "Follow Blog Widget".
Now I want to create an extension in Magento which pushes new subscriptions to Wordpress. According to the Wordpress Developer API we can use the API to add new Followers but the query parameters do not show any email address.
Is it possible to add new Followers (email subscribers) via API? If yes, any example will be much appreciated.
Using the direct url also does not work (getting an invalid email address):
| This API uses an oAuth2 approach. With the endpoint `/sites/$site/follows/new`, it looks like you'd have to prompt the user to authenticate themselves on Wordpress.com, get back a code, which you then have to exchange on an endpoint for access token. This is all explained here. The information stored in the Access Token you receive after the oAuth2 authentication would hold the user's information, and would be used to add them as a follower of your blog when you make the POST request.
Unfortunately, in as far as I can tell, there is no way to add a follower by email through the API directly.
I know it may not be the ideal solution, but it looks like your best bet is to create a follow button here: <
Of course, you could go through the whole oAuth2 approach, but ultimately it'd probably be a lot easier to just generate the button. Hope this helps. | stackexchange-wordpress | {

Hook after image is uploaded and image sizes generated
I'd like to compress images once they're uploaded to media library. Is there any hook that fires once the image is uploaded and the image sizes generated? | > Is there any hook that fires once the image is uploaded and the image sizes generated?
`wp_handle_upload` fires after the image is uploaded. After the follow-up question, I discovered that images would not be sized at this point.

//* Do something interesting

}
Added:
Images are resized on line 135 of image.php. There are no hooks in method to resize the images.
At the end of the wp_generate_attachment_metadata() function, `wp_generate_attachment_metadata` fires. This is after the image sizes are generated.
`wp_read_image_metadata` is another option. It fires before `wp_generate_attachment_metadata` but after image sizes are generated. | stackexchange-wordpress | {

45mb File Exceeds the Maximum Execution Time
I'm trying to upload a file which is 45mb full of images via plugin **Media From FTP** but it always got an error saying:
> Maximum execution time of 300 seconds exceeded
Is it normal that a 45 mb file to exceed the max execution time?
How should I upload it? | No it's not. Unless you have a connection that is being interrupted, or is very slow. Here is what you can do:
**Option 1**
Increase the PHP max execution time. Ask your host provider to increase it, or if you have access to it, update this line in your `php.ini` file:
`max_execution_time = 999`
**Option 2**
Use a more stable connection with a higher transfer rate. Your host maybe also suffering from bandwidth limitation because of a low quality provider, or a peak in traffic.
**Option 3**
Use a file transfer program such as FileZilla to upload your file straight using FTP.
**Option 4**
Divide your ZIP files into separate files and then upload the individually. This will be your last option if you can't do any of the above. | stackexchange-wordpress | {

make playlist from a custom post type

Custom plugin admin page issues

"???",

"manage_options",
"crsc-add-kilometers",
"add_edit_kilometers"
);
function add_edit_kilometers() {
include( 'admin/template.add-edit-kilometers.php' );

Should nonce be sanitized?
The general guideline is that we should sanitize all user input before using them.
Now my questions is whether this applies to nonce or not.
Which one is correct?
`wp_verify_nonce( sanitize_text_field( $_GET['some_nonce'] ), 'some_nonce' );`
or
`wp_verify_nonce( _GET['some_nonce'], 'some_nonce' );` | Sanitizing is required when you are inserting user input into Database or outputting it in HTML etc. Here, you are simply doing a String comparison.
`wp_verify_nonce` function checks `$nonce` value like this:
if ( hash_equals( $expected, $nonce ) ) {
return 1;
}
For this you don't need sanitizing. So the following is fine:

How to Create a Admin User for A WordPress Site via MySQL (PHPMyAdmin)?

INSERT INTO `your-wp-database`.`wp_usermeta` (`umeta_id`, `user_id`, `meta_key`, `meta_value`) VALUES (NULL, '1000', 'wp_user_level', '10');
But notice here **_your-wp-database_** is the name of your WordPress database, **_1000_** is your newly created user's ID, **[email protected]_** is the user email, the **_your_username_** is your user's username, **_User Display Name_** is your newly created user's display name and lastly **_Str0ngPa55!_** is the password of your newly created user. | stackexchange-wordpress | {
