    I am trying to use and understand “Import users from CSV with meta” plugin.

    Our previous site has an id, first name, last name, e-mail, password, telephone, address and we want to import this list to WordPress.

    (there is no username, people log in with the e-mail address and password)

    In your sample csv; there is no id, first name and last name columns: Username,Email,Password,Address,City,State,Zip code,Country,user_url

    How can we import id, first name, and last name and what can we do if we don’t have a username?

    Best Regards
    Cihan

    @cbehen,

    Good morning, you can look at “Documentation” tab, there you will be able to see something like first_name, last_name, etc.

    As ID is an autoincremental value, you cannot set it but all the other values can be imported.

    Have a look and you won’t get no doubts.

    If need something more, tell us.

    At the documentation it says: You should fill the first two columns with the next values)
    Username
    Email
    But then it says below: You can use those labels if you want to set data adapted to the WordPress default user columns
    user_url:
    display_name:
    nickname:
    etc
    These columns are not true. I exported my existing user and columns are : id,”user_login”,”user_nicename”,”user_email”,”user_url”,”user_registered”,”user_status”,”display_name”,”first_name”,”last_name”,”nickname”,”description”,”rich_editing”,”comment_shortcuts”,”admin_color”,”use_ssl”,”aim”,”yim”,”jabber”,”wp_capabilities”,”wp_user_level”,”session_tokens”,”sk_ignore_notice”,”dismissed_wp_pointers”,”wp_dashboard_quick_press_last_post_id”,”community-events-location”,”_woocommerce_persistent_cart_1″,”wc_last_active”,”_fl_builder_launched”,”wp_user-settings”,”wp_user-settings-time”,”nav_menu_recently_edited”,”managenav-menuscolumnshidden”,”metaboxhidden_nav-menus”,”dismissed_no_secure_connection_notice”,”dismissed_install_notice”,”dismissed_template_files_notice”,”closedpostboxes_pnd”,”metaboxhidden_pnd”,”wp_tablepress_user_options”,”show_try_gutenberg_panel”,”closedpostboxes_product”,”metaboxhidden_product”,”managetablepress_listcolumnshidden”

    So what will I do? What CSV file I have to upload? This is really confusing.
    Please help

    Cihan,

    You have to create a CSV using the format this plugin needs. Not the format of the CSV you have downloaded.

    Fix it and all will work.

    Hello Javier

    CSV format this plugin needs is : Username,Email,Password,Address,City,State,Zip code,Country,user_url
    I don’t have the username in my 20k user list. I have first name, last name, e-mail, and password.
    Is it possible to import the first name and last name? I can use the “first name” as username if it is necessary.

    Please don’t say read the documentation. I am trying to prepare right CSV file.

    Best Regards
    Cihan

    Ok, what I understand is; this free plugin and we can’t import firstname, lastname, user-registered-date or any other additional information with your plugin although these are the standard columns in WordPress.

    Thank you for your support.

    Yes, you can import:

    • First name: first_name
    • Last name: last_name

    As this is described in the “Documentation” tab.

    This topic solved my problem : https://www.ads-software.com/support/topic/how-to-import-first-name-and-last-name/

    There is no column mapping and there is no order at this plugin. Only first two columns must be username and e-mail. So any default columns can be inserted without any order.

    So this makes CSV format very easy but at the documentation, it leaves you only with one simple test CSV and you have to figure out everything by yourself.

    This plugin works and it is great after understanding it.

    @cbehen,

    Thanks ??

    If you have one minute it would be great if you can leave a review or a donation.

    We have to improve the CSV example and also the documentation.
