    Hi,

    I am using user id to identify users in an external application. So I need to make sure, user ids don’t change when users are imported to a new database.

    Can you tell me, if this is possible with ‘Import and export users and customers’.

    Thanks!

    @celinehag,

    Good morning, the user ID is an autoincrement column in wp_users table, so every function of WordPress API (the one that should be used and that I use) cannot change it.

    So you have two options:
    1) we can create some custom addon to make it possible (but your wp_users should be empty and the IDs used would be ignored)
    2) you can use an alternate key, maybe some metadata or the user login that is also unique.
