 * Hi there guys, I’m trying to create a form is submited.
    The code I used to test
   is this:
 *     ```
       $userdata = array(
       	'user_login' => 'login',
       	'user_email' => 'user@email.com',
       	'user_pass' => wp_hash_password('123456'),
       	'user_url' => 'http://none.com',
       	'display_name' => 'John Doe',
       	'description' => '',
       	'role' => 'author'
       );
   
       $user_id = wp_insert_user( $userdata );
       ```
   
 * Nothing happened!
 * Tried with wp_create_user() and nothing happened too!

 * Still can’t find a solution.
    I have tried a lot of things but nothing seems 
   to work!
