Troubleshooting #

• User not created: Check if all required fields (Username, Email, Password) are mapped correctly.
• Email not received: Verify your WordPress email settings or use an SMTP plugin.
• Role assignment not working: Ensure the selected role exists and your site allows new registrations for that role.
