How can I specify my own user ID when inserting a new user in wordpress?
Looking at this page here: http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/wp_insert_user
It doesn't give me an option to specify the user ID of the user I want to insert into wordpress.
How would I be able to specify the User ID then?
The user id ( ID
) in wordpress is auto-increment field, you cant specify it while adding new user, if you add it then update will be done matching the user id rather new insert, like:
$user_id = 10;
$somevar = 'test';
wp_insert_user( array ('ID' => $user_id, 'user_dat' => $somevar) ) ;
Since ID
is provided here, the user id with value 1 will be updated, if matching ID
is found.
