The resource will show you how to manually add users to your WordPress site. (You will need to be administrators on your WordPress site in order to add users to your site.)
Why do I want to do this?
You may want to do this if you want to collaborate with your students on the same site, enable editing access to pages or posts on your site. (Vice versa, your students could add you to their site which they've created also.)
Step-by-step instructions
- On the left-navigation menu, go to Users > Add New
- Fill in the fields below to proceed.
Email or username - The easiest way to find the user is by their KPU email.
Role - Give a role to your user. (Summary of WordPress roles can be found here.)
Skip Confirmation Email - You have the option to add your user without any notification or send notification to your user that you are adding them to your WordPress site. (If you are sending confirmation, they will need to confirm in their email before they are added to the site).
- Finally, click "Add Existing User" when you are done. If you did not check "Skip Confirmation Email", the user will need to check their email and confirm before they are successfully added to your site.
