Nk_wp_admin_create

Description

This is a bash function called nk_wp_admin_create() that creates an administrator account for a WordPress site using the wp-cli command-line tool.

The function takes one argument, which is the domain name of the WordPress site. If no argument is provided, it assumes that the user is currently in the WordPress install root.

The function uses the nk_docroot() function to determine the location of the WordPress installation. It then sets up two variables, wp_create_command and wp_delete_command, which are used to create and delete the lwadmin user with administrator role.

The wp_create_command variable uses the “wp user create” command to create the lwadmin user with email address lwadmin@liquidweb.com and the “–role=administrator” option to set the user’s role to administrator. It also uses the “–allow-root” option to run the command as the root user, and the “–path=$wp_location” option to specify the path to the WordPress installation.

The wp_delete_command variable uses the “wp user delete” command to delete the lwadmin user with the “–yes” option to confirm the deletion, the “–allow-root” option to run the command as the root user, and the “–path=$wp_location” option to specify the path to the WordPress installation.

The function then executes the wp_create_command to create the lwadmin user and outputs the username. It also sets up the wp_delete_command to run in 6 hours using the “at” command, and outputs a message indicating when the account will expire.

Example

[root@cloudvpsserver wp]# nk_wp_admin_create

Success: Created user 7.
Password: Sgxn(CxNwk(W#N0aeqt5(RIc

Expires: lwadmin will expire in 6 hours.
