         function () {
                         // Enable error reporting

                         ini_set( 'display_errors', 1 );

                         echo "=== Testing wp_insert_user() without
 password ===\n";

                         // Test creating user without password
                         $userdata = array(
                                 'user_login'   => 'testuser_' . time(),
                                 'user_email'   => 'testuser_' . time() .
 '@example.com',
                                 'display_name' => 'Test User',
                         // 'user_pass' is intentionally omitted
                         );

                         echo "Creating user without password...\n";
                         $user_id = wp_insert_user( $userdata );

                 if ( is_wp_error( $user_id ) ) {
                         echo 'Error: ' . $user_id->get_error_message() .
 "\n";
                 } else {
                         echo "User created successfully with ID:
 $user_id\n";

                         // Clean up - delete the test user
                         require_once ABSPATH . 'wp-
 admin/includes/user.php';
                         wp_delete_user( $user_id );
