how to create user programmatically with unapproved status

Hello @erfanmhd,

Thank you for reaching out to us.

My suggestion would be to use this:

wppb_update_user_status_on_admin_registration( $NewUser );

instead of this:

update_user_meta( $NewUser, ‘wppb_approval_status’, ‘unapproved’ );

It will automatically put your new users on pending.

Kind regards,

hello,

Thank you for your reply,
i’ve tried this

wppb_update_user_status_on_admin_registration( $NewUser );

but the users are still being created with Approved User Status.

here is the main code i’m using to import users from an external api using ACF Option Page.

function API_Bulk_User_Importer() {
	
    $screen = get_current_screen();
    if (strpos($screen->id, 'user-importer') == true) {
	    		
		$NewUser = wp_insert_user( 
			array(
				'user_login'   => $UserName, //from api
				'user_pass'    => wp_generate_password( 10, true, true ),
				'user_email'   => $UserEmail,//from api
				'role'         => 'business_account',
			)
		);

		if ( is_wp_error($NewUser) ) {
		  //handle error here
		} else {
			$user = get_user_by('id', $NewUser);
			update_user_meta( $NewUser, 'company', $UserItem['company'] );
			wppb_update_user_status_on_admin_registration( $NewUser );

			
		  //handle successful creation here
		}
		    
  
  
    }
}
add_action('acf/save_post', 'API_Bulk_User_Importer', 10);

Thanks in Advance.

Hello @erfanmhd,

Try adding this code directly into that function:

wp_set_object_terms($NewUser, apply_filters( 'wppb_admin_approval_update_user_status', array('pending'), $NewUser ), 'user_status', false);
            clean_object_term_cache($NewUser, 'user_status');
            add_user_meta( $NewUser, '_wppb_admin_approval_link_param', wppb_get_admin_approval_email_link_key($NewUser) );;
            do_action('wppb_new_user_pending_approval', $NewUser );

Does it work now?

Kind regards,
