@onelife1985 I’m still unsure why it wasn’t working before. BUT… I was able to finally get wp_create_user
to work.
I accomplished this by installing the plugin as ‘must use’ (ie: in ‘wp-content/mu-plugins’ instead of ‘wp-content/plugins’)
Also, I switched the ‘hook’ that I was using to create the user. Again, not sure why it wasn’t working before.. Wish I had more info for you, but I hope this helps, as I received little support from the community.
