Can’t add new users to website
-
Hello everyone,
I’m having a bunch of issues when it comes to adding new users/authors to the website. Everytime I try to add someone other than my self under the “Add New” page, it does absolutely nothing. I don’t get an erorr page or anything, and it let’s me submit the form without trouble. But afterwards, it just refreshes the page with only myself as the registered user. I’ve also tried to add another user manually through myPHPadmin, but that doesn’t solve the problem either.
The reason I am trying to add some users is because, upon site migration, I had a ton of errors with my site, including no user information to speak of. Recreating my account from scratch took a lot of work, and I ended up having to rebuild “wp_user” from scratch. Could this be the reason I can’t add any other user but myself? Could I have done something wrong in this process? Thanks for any help you guys can provide.

Using PHPmyAdmin, I recreated the “Wp_user” and “wp_usermeta” tables, following the basic format that was described in this post from WPBeginner:
http://www.wpbeginner.com/wp-tutorials/how-to-add-an-admin-user-to-the-wordpress-database-via-mysql/
It worked well enough to let me access my administrator back panel again but, when it came to adding new users and/or changing any of the author information (bio, first/last name, etc.) through the wp-admin, it doesn’t quite do the trick. Here’s the images of the tables that I created:
I also tried to create a new user through adding tables themselves (following the same basic method, minus different usernames and ID numbers), but they didn’t show up in WordPress either.
Any help would be appreciated!
