    Hello,

    This morning I received an error from Wordfence about “An admin user with the username admin was created outside of WordPress”.

    We run e-commerce store on Woocommerce. What happened is that a user with an email [email protected] purchased on our site. Therefore they have had a user “admin” automatically created for them at checkout.

    That user is **not** admin (role: ‘subscriber’ as they purchased a subscription) and wasn’t created outside of WordPress. You may want to reconsider they way you guys hook into it and definitely re-word this warning as it surely is very alerting to average Joe.

    Thanks!

  • Hi @krko,

    Sorry about this inconvenience.

    This is indeed something we’ve seen before and our development team is currently looking into it.

    We created an internal request regarding this issue. (For reference: #FB4995)
