Creating Steemit accounts from within your Wordpress site: GK Steemit Info v0.5.0
Intro
We had highlighted in a prior post the troubles faced with waiting for steemit account creation and approvals - taking even more than 7 days as I've got reports today, but also provided a solution for instantaneous account creation via a JS/steemjs solution.
I decided to integrate this functionality to be part of our GK Steemit Info wordpress plugin in version 0.5.0, making this process available to any wordpress site/user and having it managed from the backend of said sites, along with other minor adjustments to the plugin as highlighted below.
Quick Recap
Up to version 0.4.0, the plugin hosted several types of widgets (& shortcodes) that can be easily drag/dropped into any wordpress solution, including:
- General steem(it) info, such as steem user count, STEEM/USD, SBD/USD, SBD & STEEM current supply.
- User(s) account info, such as account name, image, location, SP, delegated SP, STEEM, account value,...
- Listing of user posts with filtering options
- Listing of trending posts with filtering options
New Development Work
In version 0.5.0, we added the following functionalities:
- New backend interface which allows the creation of new steemit users, based upon delegation coming from existing steemit accounts. After setting up (or upgrading) the plugin, a new menu will be available in the admin section called GK Steemit Info referencing the name of the plugin.
Clicking on this menu item will display the option to create the new user as you can see from the screenshot below.
Values that need to be provided include new account, account password, owner account and relevant WIF, fee and delegation amounts.
The plugin also caters for error messages and provides as much details as possible, including testing for proper account naming, existing account, minimum delegation and fee. - Adding green/red color indicators for SBD & STEEM price modifications across 1h, 24h, and 7d to easily view price changes and fluctuations (unfortunately screenshot now showing all red)
- Refactoring coinmarketcap display code into single function
- Changing coinmarketcap reference to smaller text to become less intrusive (as shown in screenshot above)
Downloading the plugin
The plugin is available on the official GitHub repository. The most recent commit link can be found here

@mcfarhat this is too good to be true! Great work man. Thank you for the efforts. Would it be possible to somehow make a widget that would allow users visiting your site to join steemit from there?
Thank you.
While this might be feasible, yet the problem with that approach is that you will need to delegate to each one of those guys for their account to be functional.
I think this won't make much sense, right? ;)
Well, if you put it that way...! No, jokes aside, you are right. It was worth inquiring about at least :)
hehe yea, you're always welcome :)
