To anyone who viewed this post and wondered just how this may be done or anyone trying this. Goto this post

The issue was related to the cookie path restricting access to the /blog portion of my domain. There are instructions at that post that will help resolve the issue.

I know this is old, but go into the wp-login.php file and on line 290 there is a line that says

$redirect_to = 'wp-login.php?loggedout=true';

Modify accordingly (I have not tried this, but can only assume this is where you can do it.).

So far, i have been able to create a user from outside the wordpress directory, on my own webapp. However having trouble displaying a logged in user, ill post that in another thread. THis is how I did account creation, however you’ll have to modify a bunch of it and I did not include functions from other files. Hope it helps point you in the right direction.

You’ll need to create 2 pages for account creation.

register.php – with a submission form, ive used JQuery for Ajax, so it may look foreign to some.

<?
	include "../common/header.php";
?>

	<div class="fitted_container">
		<form id="form_register">
			<table align=center>
				<tr><td><p>Username</p></td></tr>
				<tr><td><input type="text" id="username"></td></tr>
				<tr><td><p>Email</p></td></tr>
				<tr><td><input type="text" id="email"></td></tr>
				<tr><td><input type="button" onmousedown="javascript:register()" value="Register"></td></tr>
			</table>
		</form>
		<p id="response_text"></p>
	</div>
	<script language="javascript">
		function register() {

			// TODO: Client Side Validation

			// Appears Okay, Submit
			var form = $("#form_register");
			$("#response_text").load("register_act.php",
				{
					username: $("#username").val(),
					email: $("#email").val()
				}, function() {
				}
			);
		}
	</script>
<?
	include "../common/footer.php";
?>

register_act.php – the form elements are passed to this, this is the tough part.

I basically went through the process WordPress used to do this, so alot of the code comes from there. This will not work with a copy and paste, you need to use your own connection handler to the database and define some of the functions that I modified from wordpress.
Within register_act.php

<?
	/** Make sure that the WordPress bootstrap has ran before continuing. */
        // you'll most likely have to change this to your own blog directory.
	require('../blog/wp-load.php');

	$user_email = $_POST["email"];
	$user_login = $_POST["username"];
	$nicename = strtolower($user_login);
	$user_pass = wp_generate_password();
	$hashed_user_pass = wp_hash_password($user_pass);

        // this creates a connection to my database
	$conn = new GTConnection("wrdp1");

	/* Server side Validation - if there is an error, printing will show the error on the page. I was using ajax to run this script, and when there is an error, it gets put into a container... So the user never leaves the register.php page upon error.*/
	if ( $user_login == '' ) {
		print '<strong>ERROR</strong>: Please enter a username.';
		return;
	}
	elseif ( !gt_validate_username( $user_login ) ) {
		print '<strong>ERROR</strong>: This username is invalid.  Please enter a valid username.';
		return;
	} elseif ( gt_username_exists( $user_login ) ) {
		print '<strong>ERROR</strong>: This username is already registered, please choose another one.';
		return;
	}

	// Check the e-mail address
	if ($user_email == '') {
		print '<strong>ERROR</strong>: Please type your e-mail address.';
		return;
	} elseif ( !is_email( $user_email ) ) {
		print '<strong>ERROR</strong>: The email address isn’t correct.';
		return;
	} elseif ( gt_email_exists( $user_email ) ) {
		print '<strong>ERROR</strong>: This email is already registered, please choose another one.';
		return;
	}

	$result = mysql_query("

		INSERT INTO  <code>wrdp1</code>.<code>wp_users</code> (
		<code>ID</code>,

	if (!$result) {
		die('Invalid query: ' . mysql_error());

	else {

		$user_id = mysql_insert_id($conn->link());

		if ( !$user_id ) {
			print '<strong>ERROR</strong>: Couldn’t register you... please contact the <a href="mailto:[email protected]">webmaster</a> !';
			//$errors->add('registerfail', sprintf(__('<strong>ERROR</strong>: Couldn’t register you... please contact the <a href="mailto:%s">webmaster</a> !'), get_option('admin_email')));
			return;
		}

		$user = new WP_User($user_id);
		$user->set_role(get_option('default_role'));
		//$user->getUserById($user_id);

		//$user_login = stripslashes($user->user_login());
		//$user_email = stripslashes($user->user_email());

		$message  = 'New user registration at MySite ' . "\r\n\r\n";
		$message .= 'Username: ' . $user_login . "\r\n\r\n";
		$message .= 'E-mail: ' . $user_email . "\r\n";
		$message .= 'Password: ' . $user_pass . "\r\n";

		wp_mail('[email protected]', 'New User Registration @ MySite', $message);

		if ( empty($user_pass) ) {
			print "password is blank";
			return;
		}

		wp_mail($user_email, '[MySite] Your username and password', $message);

	$conn->close();
