My users were imported with incorrect user names – if the old name was eg julie, the new name was:

“12” “julie”

not good!!

I can see that this is because the format it wants the CSV in *isn’t* the format that WordPress exports the users in. I also notice it expects passwords, which the WordPress export doesn’t seem to include.

I uploaded my email list from WordPress.com into my new .org site. All of the subscribers are listed under users as subscribers. However, they’re not on the list with my other email subscribers. I just published a new post, and it didn’t send out the post to my uploaded subscribers. Am I missing a step?

I can see on line 49 in the latest version (1.0.3) that if no email address is present in the .CSV file you are trying to compose a dummy address by combining username with @donotreply.com.

This is not working but with this simple fix it will:
if (!$user_email) { $user_email = $username."@donotreply.com"; }
That′s it!

Hi, do you think you could add a new feature for a fee??

Would be great to have a feature where if a user already exist the plugin just UPDATE the User Meta.

It could check if the user_login already exist in CSV, all user meta are updated….

Do you think is possible to add that?

Thanks very much!!

Hi- hoping someone can help.

I have at least two and possibly up to 10 wordpress users with multiple accounts (with the same username and email, but different userids — I didn’t even know that was possible!) as result of importing users with this plugin, from Joost’s to a newly-imported blog within an existing network.

Some of the duplicate users have 60+ (different) posts on both accounts, so manually changing the user on one side’s posts and then deleting the empty account isn’t an option, need something programmatic. I’m pretty non-technical but get my hands dirty. Help?

cheers,
David

When you import users, does it send out the registration email? I hope not… I just imported 100 people and I’m not ready for them yet!

After correctly importing all fields, users are unable to login using their passwords.

I downloaded this plugin version 1.0.2 and installed on my local development pc. WordPress 3.0.4 with twentyten – pretty basic.
When I activated this plugin it spewed out a header of

[Code moderated as per the Forum Rules. Please use the pastebin]

CSV User Import
All users appear to be have been imported successfully.
It seems the file was not uploaded correctly.
The plugin generated 3483 characters of unexpected output during activation. If you notice “headers already sent” messages, problems with syndication feeds or other issues, try deactivating or removing this plugin.

Please select the CSV file you want to import below.

The CSV file should be in the following format:

firstname, lastname, username, password (plain text), email address

Please make sure you back up your database before proceeding!

All this before my usual WordPress admin header and then my page was distorted with my column layout removed and all text in one vertical column, left column first. Uninstalling and re-installing caused no change. I couldn’t even get as far as uploading a csv file. Shame as it’s a great idea and would be so useful.

Reports “All users appear to be have been imported successfully.” but no users are actually added.

Love the CSV User Import plugin. Super easy and saves me lots of time. Only one difficulty I can see.

I also use Subscribe2. And, when I bulk upload users via “CSV User Import” plugin, there is no default setting for mailing to subscribers. I still have to go back into each subscriber to select categories they should receive and e-mail format (ie; HTML excerpt, HTML full, Plain, etc). Is there any means of having this update at the point of bulk upload? Or, is there any means of defaulting to a specific category or format? Or, are you aware of any compatibility issues w/S2 which prevents importing this data from S2 into the subscriber?

A.S.

Hey, great plugin. Saved me a lot of time.

However, might I suggest you use the standard <?php ?> tags. I had to go through the plugin and fix those to get it to work on my server. It didn’t take me long to figure out, but I suspect that might also be the source of your broken votes.

I activated CSV User Import plugin. It tells me:
The CSV file should be in the following format:
firstname, lastname, username, password (plain text), email address

These are new users (members of a Yoga teachers association). I will get the .csv by exporting the teachers data from a Filemaker Pro database. The teachers won’t know their passwords to start. What is a good way to give them all an initial temporary password that they will be able to change later? Once they are identified as subscribers, they will have access to members-only pages.

I plan to have directory of users manually replaced by the wp-admin on a monthly basis.

TIA.

Thanks a lot for sharing your work! It turns out to be very helpful ??

Although I think the code is simple enough to add some extra user fields myself, it would maybe be a nice idea to have an option to add extra (excisting) user fields from the backend.

cheers!

Coded flawlessly, works beautifully, and super simple. What else can be said, other than thanks for the hard work, Andy.
