Merge Users

  • Hi –

    I need to merge some users, but am not sure how to go about doing that. I have the same person in the user profile section two times. They have a different username in the system, but they are using the same email address and all other info matches up. Is there a way to merge their two profiles into one?

    Thank you.

  • Hello,

    You can merge content from one user to another by deleting a user.

    1. Go into Users > All Users

    2. Find the account that you want to merge into another.

    3. Click “delete” for said user.

    4. You will then be brought to a screen with two options.

    A. “Delete all content”
    B. “Attribute all content to:”

    Choose option B. and all post created by the deleted user will be merged into the user you select.

    I advise creating a backup of your WordPress installation before proceeding in case you want to reverse the change later.

    Hope you found this helpful!

    I did see how to merge the content and attribute it to one user. However, I have a plugin installed that allows the user to sign up for events (WP Events Manager) . The user has signed up for one event under one username and a second event under a separate username. I was hoping to merge the usr profiles into so that we didn’t lose the event data.
