I’ve included the function used below. Just FYI, this is all inherited code, I have absolutely no idea why the original author didn’t just use wp_create_user()/wp_insert_user()….

function ent_insert_user( $userdata ) {
		/*
		 * COPIED FROM wp_includes/user.php
		 * NEED TO ALLOW DUPLICATE EMAIL ADDRESS ON USER IMPORT
		 * COMMENT OUT DUPE EMAIL CHECK BELOW
		 */
		global $wpdb;

		if ( is_a( $userdata, 'stdClass' ) )
			$userdata = get_object_vars( $userdata );
		elseif ( is_a( $userdata, 'WP_User' ) )
		$userdata = $userdata->to_array();

		extract( $userdata, EXTR_SKIP );

		// Are we updating or creating?
		if ( !empty($ID) ) {
			$ID = (int) $ID;
			$update = true;
			$old_user_data = WP_User::get_data_by( 'id', $ID );
		} else {
			$update = false;
			// Hash the password
			$user_pass = wp_hash_password($user_pass);
		}

		$user_login = sanitize_user($user_login, true);
		$user_login = apply_filters('pre_user_login', $user_login);

		//Remove any non-printable chars from the login string to see if we have ended up with an empty username
		$user_login = trim($user_login);

		if ( empty($user_login) )
			return new WP_Error('empty_user_login', __('Cannot create a user with an empty login name.') );

	}

Also, here’s an example data array that would be used as an argument for the above method:

array('user_login'=>$username,'user_pass'=>$password,'user_nicename'=>$username,'user_email'=>$email,'user_registered'=>$date,'display_name'=>$fullname,'first_name'=>$first_name,'last_name'=>$last_name)

I believe it was 2.2.3 that we upgraded from.

Check permissions page takes me to the App where the posts seem to be getting published strangely enough.

No message, it goes to the general 500 server error page.

In the interim (till I find a better solution), if someone comes across this thread with the same issue, here’s the quick and easy JS solution (throw in your functions.php file):

function marqueeDefaultOrder(){
	echo '<script>
	jQuery(document).ready(function(){
		if(jQuery("#marquee_options").length > 0){
			jQuery("#menu_order").val(100);
		}
	});
	</script>';
}
add_action( 'admin_head-post-new.php', 'marqueeDefaultOrder');

Just be sure to replace “#marquee_options” with a unique selector on your Post Type page. If you want it for every post type, just remove that if statement entirely.

Anyone know about how WordPress creates these cookies?
