Undefined function wp_hash_password() when instantiating wp_insert_user()

  • I’m inserting a user programmatically.

    The problem (from googling) appears to be that the /wp-includes/pluggable isn’t loaded when the form calls the script.

    <?php
  defined( 'ABSPATH' ) or die( 'Plugin file cannot be accessed directly.' );
  $pldir=plugin_dir_path( __FILE__ );
  require $pldir.'regHandler.php';
  if($_POST['button109']){
    // It's a new user registration/
    $newuserdata=regHandler($_POST);
  }

    In the regHandler.php:

    <?php
function regHandler($formData){
  $email=$formData['email'];
  $returnVals['userid']=0;
  //$pass=wp_generate_password ( 12, false );
  $user_id = wp_insert_user(
    array(
      'user_login'  =>  $email,
      'user_pass' =>  $pass,
      'first_name'  =>  $formData['first_name'],
      'user_nicename'  =>  $formData['first_name'],
      'last_name' =>  $formData['last_name'],
      'user_email'  =>  $email,
      'display_name'  =>  $formData['first_name'] . ' ' . $formData['last_name'],
      'nickname'  =>  $formData['first_name'] . ' ' . $formData['last_name'],
      'role'    =>  'contributor'
    )
  );
}?>

    The error:
    Fatal error: Call to undefined function wp_hash_password() in /hermes/bosnaweb14a/b1229/ipg/haroldwooduk/wp-includes/user.php on line 1874

    You are correct.

    Other files such as: wp-settings.php
    load the file with a line:
    require( ABSPATH . WPINC . '/pluggable.php' );
    Follow up on wp-settings.php to see if it is doing anything else as well as using this line.

    Thanks!

    Where is the best place to put the line?

    I’ve put it in the function.

    function regHandler($formData){
  require_once( ABSPATH . WPINC . '/pluggable.php' );
  $email=$formData['email'];
  $returnVals['userid']=0;
  $user_id = wp_insert_user(
    array(
      'user_login'  =>  $email,
      'user_pass' =>  $pass,
      'first_name'  =>  $formData['first_name'],
      'user_nicename'  =>  $formData['first_name'],
      'last_name' =>  $formData['last_name'],
      'user_email'  =>  $email,
      'display_name'  =>  $formData['first_name'] . ' ' . $formData['last_name'],
      'nickname'  =>  $formData['first_name'] . ' ' . $formData['last_name'],
      'role'    =>  'contributor'
    )
  );

    I would put it just before my function. The file is being “included” into your file, as if the text had been copied in, so it should be at a suitable level, being outside functions or classes etc.

    EDIT: But wait again, we only need it if your function is called, so maybe it should be in your function. Without getting technical, does it work when it is in the function ? If so then leave it there.

    My site has gone down with a white screen.

    Your fix worked but when I went to delete users I had created as part of the testing process, I just got a white screen.

    In the process of fixing that I seem to have borked the site: I’m now getting a Server 500 error.

    I’m trying to fix the site from backups now.
