    Hi,

    currently i have problems with import of users that i exported from another WordPress-Website.
    Im using the plugin with WP-Members.

    Im exporting the users from the “Users”-Area of WP. The CSV file has no password column though. So when i import the user, the user obviously cant login.

    How do i export a user with its password, so he can login into the new Website?

    Thank you in advance

    Kind regards

    Ahmet

    @ahmetd97,

    You have to export using this plugin. The option you are using seems to be from another plugin.

    This export button appears into “Tools” -> “Import and export…”.

    @carazo,

    ok, thank you.

    Another problem: When i export users the custom profile fields from WP-Members are not filled with the user information.

    How can i fix this?

    Thank in advance

    @ahmetd97,

    This plugin currently is not compatible with WP Members. So to fix this you should make the compatibility.

    If you don’t know how to do it, you can tell me if this is the plugin you are using, and I can do the compatibility as soon as I can: https://es.www.ads-software.com/plugins/wp-members/

    @carazo,

    yes, that is the plugin im using.

    Thank you in advance.

    @carazo – actually, it is compatible – at least as far as I am aware (and you’re actually the plugin I recommend to users when importing). A default setup exporting all meta fields will include fields for WP-Members, since they are all user meta fields.

    However, on some, the data was off by one or two columns. I’m not sure what caused that, but my test run was on a dev system that doesn’t have consistent user data (not all users have all the same fields), so that could be part of it. I’d have to test it on a user set where all users had all the same fields to know if it was really an issue.

    @ahmetd97 – if that’s the issue you’re having, you can use “Import and export users and customers” in two stages to import users:

    • Run an export using “Import and export users and customers” and a separate export using WP-Members
    • Use the CSV from the “Import and export users and customers” export to import the main WP data for the user – primarily user_login, user_email, and user_pass, but you could include the other WP fields as well.
    • “Import and export users and customers” allows you to update existing users on import, so then do a second import with the WP-Members export file. It will (should?) update the users with the additional data.
