How to add a new user to a WordPress website

1. Log in to your WordPress website. (e.g. example.com/wp-login.php)

   When you’re logged in, you will be in your ‘WP Admin Dashboard’.

2. Click on ‘Users’.

   On the left-hand side, you will see a menu. In that menu, click on ‘Users’.

   

3. Click ‘Add New’.

   Across the top, click the ‘Add New’ button.

   

4. Fill out the New User form.

   * The "Username" can NOT be changed once it is set.

   * Make sure the email used is accessible. It will be needed to retrieve the new user account information.

   * Check ‘Send User Notification’ to send the new user account information to the email associated with the new account.

   * Set the "Role" to Administrator or to an appropriate role level for the user.

5. Click ‘Add New User’.

   At the bottom of the form, click the ‘Add New User’ button.
