In an effort to be thorough, I tried a 3rd time. This time I tried to add only 1499 users.

Again I get a “500 Internal Server Error”

This attempt loaded 1325 new users before crashing.

On the Second attempt I tried to add the difference of the original 9,999 users and the 1604 which actually loaded (8395 users).

Again I get a “500 Internal Server Error”

Upon further investigation, it loaded 1487 new users before crashing. Again, this is way better than yesterday, but doesn’t look like a viable option for 10,000 users at a time.

I know I can import a .CSV file through phpMyAdmin, so maybe that is the better option.

@happynuclear – anything else you can think of to make this work in your plugin?

Ouch…

First try to add 9,999 users and I get a “500 Internal Server Error”

Upon further investigation, it loaded 1604 new users before crashing, which is way more than it did yesterday, but still doesn’t seem to want to do 10,000 at a time.

@happynuclear – Its great to see such attention given to a support issue. Thanks! Hopefully I’m not the only one who will use your plugin to import large lists, but if I am, its nice to know it can handle it.

In any event, I wanted you to know my server/php config, in case that helps your development in the future.

Linux 2.6.32-5-amd64
PHP Version 5.3.3-7+squeeze3 w/:
  max_execution_time: 120 & 120
  max_file_uploads: 20 & 20
  max_input_nesting_level: 64 & 64
  max_input_time: 120 & 120
  memory_limit: 128M & 128M

Now I’ll go and try your new release and see what kind of result I get ??

@ulrich Sossou

I don’t disagree with you. I just find it odd.

@happynuclear

I’m glad this feature is something you’ve given some thought to. I would love to be able to tell you whether or not it works, but with the other issue I listed (at: https://www.ads-software.com/support/topic/plugin-add-multiple-users-for-wordpress-csvtxt-upload-email-address-in-place-of-username) I couldn’t tell you if it is capable of adding users when there are dupes or not.

I guess the other issues will have to be addressed before I can test this theory.

@happynuclear – Thank you for such quick responses.

Like I said before, I have a list with a few hundred thousand users from an old system. I split the list up into smaller lists, with 50,000 lines per list. The list is already scrubbed and I put the list in the column order your plugin recommends.

In the admin panel, I go to Users > Add Multiple Users > CSV/TXT Upload

My CSV file is in the order: username, password, email, role, firstname, lastname, website

When I try to upload the .TXT file, I get an error:

Error: Not a valid file type! Only .csv and .txt files may be uploaded.

When I convert the file to a comma delimited .CSV file, I do not get this error. I get taken to a page that says:

The following user information has been extracted from your uploaded file.

Please review your extracted CSV data in the text field below and, if necessary, customize the column order appropriate to your CSV data structure (see Custom Column Order information below).

…and my data is listed in the scroll-able box.

However, when I click the button “Create User Information” I get taken to a page that says:

Please review the user information below to correct any errors or to add additional information for each user and click the Add All Users button to process your new user accounts.

…and only one line is listed, and it is blank. There is two buttons that say “Add All Users” and “Add Extra Row” but none of my data has been populated.

I’ve tried reducing the file to 25,000 lines and have the same issue.

I continued testing by reducing the file to 10,000 lines, I get a table of populated data on the following screen, but it never finishes loading before the browser crashes (tried on both Firefox and Chrome).

A 10,000 line .CSV file is only 905.8Kb so I’m not sure why it causes such problems. To me, importing anything less than 10,000 lines at a time, is useless.

More testing effort was put in by reducing the file to 5,000 lines, and still, it never finishes loading before the browser crashes (tried on both Firefox and Chrome).

A 5,000 line .CSV file is only 452.7Kb yet still there are problems.

I finally got a different result, when I reduced the file again, to 2,500 lines, which is only 225.9Kb, the browser (both of them) stopped crashing, but both were extremely slow and sluggish. It would take hours to get to the bottom of a 2500 line list, via scrolling.

When I click the “Add All Users” button, I get a screen that says “New User User Accounts Processed” at the top and “New User Account Registration Details:” at the bottom, but none of the user accounts were added.

Only with a list of 1000 lines, do the browsers operate efficiently (or as expected). Yet, still, when I click the “Add All Users” button, I get a screen that says “New User User Accounts Processed” at the top and “New User Account Registration Details:” at the bottom, but none of the user accounts were added. (FYI: There is something wrong with the bottom “Add All Users” button, only the top one seems to work correctly).

With list which is just under 1000 lines, it acts like it is working and goes through all the process of working, but never actually adds the users.

I don’t know what is going on, but I’ve tried this on two separate, clean installs of WordPress, and I’m getting the same/similar results. It just isn’t working correctly with lists of 1000 lines or larger, and isn’t worth the effort for lists less than 10,000 lines.

Several of the websites I manage are now at WordPress 3.3.1 and this plugin is still working like a charm.

My rating has been upgraded to 5 stars and I cast a “Works” vote for it.

@ulrich Sossou – Actually, I found when a person gets this error, during installation or activation of your plugin, a person can just type in:

https://DOMAIN.TLD/wp-admin/plugins.php
or
https://DOMAIN.TLD/wp-admin/
or
any other link back to the admin panel and look at the installed plugins, it shows up as installed and/or activated. At this point, it seems to work fine.

However, I find it odd how I have several sites running 20 or more plugins, and have never experienced this error with any other plugin. However, I experienced this same issue, with this plugin, an all the websites I tried it on and I experienced it after installing, deleting and then re-installing.

Like I said, the plugin seems to work fine, but this error/issue doesn’t seem very random to me.

I don’t know about @ajezouit, but for me the “The plugin does not have a valid header.” comes when trying to install/activate your plugin.

Awesome…

I’m excited to use your plugin and look forward to a resolution.

Okay, so I figured out what is going on.

I have the “WP Email Login” plugin installed and was trying out the “Social Login” plugin. When I tried to make a change to my profile to allow logging in with several social networks, the profile got saved. When the profile was saved again, my username was replaced with my email address.

I would like people to be able to use their email as their username, if they choose to do so. I also want people to be able to log in with their username and/or email address. However, I do not want their username replaced with their email address without them explicitly choosing to do so.

So, it doesn’t seem that this plugin is what I want at all, but it does seem to work exactly the way it was designed. For that, I have changed my start rating to 5 and my vote from broken to works.

Thanks

Which two “add-on” plugins did you add to your “WP Online Store” plugin?

I checked all four of the categories you list and everything is showing up for me in ￡ currency.

I have been able to do further testing and prove this issue is strictly with the “Login Email Sync” plugin.

As best as I can tell, this plugin, is supposed to allow a person to log in with either username or email address.

However, I’m finding, through a specific process, this plugin completely replaces the username with an email address.

If you create a user account with a username, email address and password, you can use both username and email address to log in. However if a person goes to their user profile and clicks the “Save” button, the username is essentially overwritten with the email address and logging in with the username is no longer possible.

This is dangerous, especially if you disable this plugin and do not want to use email login any longer. Any accounts where the username has been replaced by the email address, no longer have access to log in.
