Create New User And Login Wp After Registration

In this article, we will learn to create a new WordPress user with custom PHP coding.

To create the user “wp_insert_user()” function will be used.

Fetch the below values from the given form or data to create the new user.

$email = $_POST['email'];
$password = $_POST['password'];
$first_name = $_POST['name'];
$last_name = $_POST['name'];

Pass the above data and create one array for the insert user function.

$user_data = array(
  'user_login'    => $email,
  'user_email'    => $email,
  'user_pass'     => $password,
  'first_name'    => $first_name,
  'last_name'     => $last_name,
  'nickname'      => $first_name,
);

$user_id = wp_insert_user( $user_data );

After this code’s execution, a new user will be created in the system.

To log in the user right after the registration “wp_signon()” function will be used.

if($user_id){
  $info = array();
  $info['user_login'] = $email;
  $info['user_password'] = $password;
  $user_signon = wp_signon( $info, false );
  echo "Register Done";
}

After this code’s execution, a new user will be logged in successfully to the system.
