To create a new account outside WordPress admin environment, all you will need is an FTP access to your site. As an admin, you should have all the needed information to log in to your server and you can quickly create a new account by creating a new function in your theme.

Create a new user account via FTP:

Open FTP client and connect to your account

Navigate to wp-content/themes

Open the folder of the theme you are using

Search for functions.php file and edit it

Copy and paste the following function:

function admin_account(){

$user = 'Username';

$pass = 'Password';

$email = '[email protected]';

if ( !username_exists( $user ) && !email_exists( $email ) ) {

$user_id = wp_create_user( $user, $pass, $email );

$user = new WP_User( $user_id );

$user->set_role( 'administrator' );

} }

add_action('init','admin_account');

Change username, password, and email to something unique

Save changes

Make sure that username, password and email address which you set in the function are unique or otherwise the function won’t work properly. Once you have saved the changes, you’re done and you can navigate to your WP login panel. Use new information to log back in and once you have verified the account, you can delete the function from the functions.php file.

The function shown above creates an admin account but you can easily modify it to create an account with any other user role. Simply change the role on the 8th row of the code to the editor, author, contributor, subscriber or any other user role you have created.
