# Create Member

 * Must be missing something very basic. I’m a user of WP and PlugIns over many 
   years, using “simple-membership” for the first time:
 * Install and activate seems fine, all Membership menus seem to be there in WP-
   Admin interface as per docs, BUT
 * Having successfully created one simple “Member” membership level, I simply cannot
   create a “Member”. Add member dialogue allows me to enter name and email and 
   password, but saving update does not result in any member visible? (Does this
   member have to be identical to and exiting WP user of the WP web site.)
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fcreate-member%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)
   to see the link]_

 * Hi, please read the following [documentation](https://simple-membership-plugin.com/manually-adding-members-site/)
   to learn how to add a new member manually.
 * Let me know if you need more information.
 * Thank you

 * I read the instructions first, and again and again!
    What the instructions don’t
   mention is any relationships between these “members” of the site and “users” 
   of the WordPress installation, names, unique emails and synch’ed pw’s etc. The
   error messages were invisible. (I see this dialogue is actually adding WP users–
   so better integration of the UI would help – and at least the wording in the 
   dialogue. Anyway eventually sorted after a little trial and error when I found
   the error message.)

 * The most obvious upgrade would be to ensure the member creation dialogue allowed
   you to select from existing users and add if new. No?
