Adding New Users

Allowing new users to register by using the WordPress registration interface is only one way to add users to your site. As the site Administrator, you have the ability to add new users manually by following these steps:

1. Log in to your WordPress Dashboard by inputting your username and password in the form at http://yourdomain.com/wp-admin.
2. Click the Add New link in the Users menu on the Dashboard.

   The Add New User page, shown in Figure 4-2, loads.

3. Enter the username in the Username text box.

   You can't skip this text box. The new user types in this username when he's prompted to log in to your site.

4. Enter the user's e-mail address in the E-Mail text box.

   You can't skip this text box, either. The user receives notifications from you and your site at this e-mail address.
