* I’ll never stop to be surprised by what can happen in this PHP world.
* I’ve prepared a script to fill the database with some users for a project, the
script is meant to run via SSH command line, with bascially a:
* # php myscript.php
* The scripts starts with:
* require_once dirname( __FILE__ ) . ‘/../wp-load.php’;
* To load the WP environment. In my local installation all is okay, no errors of
sort, users are added, the script is pretty simple, it’s basically a for loop
with a wp_insert_user call inside, similar to:
* ```
for( $i=0; $i<50; $i++ ) {
...
$ret = wp_insert_user( array
'user_pass' => wp_generate_password(),
'user_login' => $user_login,
'user_email' => $user_login.'@example.org',
'first_name' => $firstname,
'last_name' => $lastname,
'display_name' => $display_name
) );
if( is_wp_error( $ret ) ) {
echo $ret->get_error_message().PHP_EOL;
} else {
echo "User $user_login added".PHP_EOL;
}
}
```
* Instead when I launch the script from the server console (SSH) it hangs for a
while and after it ouputs this and dies and no users are added to the database:
* ```
Login Access Denied
Accesso negato.
```
* This makes no sense to me. Any idea how to fix this? Others type of scripts run
without problems, it seems wp_insert_user does some check about being logged
in?

* Okay found the problem, the plugin “Stop Spammer Registrations Plugin” was somehow
interfering. Disabled that and the script executed successfully.
