Hey Tom,

I have tried having a look. Many of the results are migration services rather than doing it yourself, with the reviews for such services being less than favourable.

One though that had occurred to me, was importing the external database into WordPress users, leaving the password blank and using the email address as the username. That way you’re reserving all relevant email addresses. That way all that really needs to be done is to convert the relevant password into a WordPress format.

Would that work?

Thanks for all of your help!

Hey Tom,

Just thought I would follow up on this and see if you were able to/interested in helping me out with the above?

Thanks,
Kyle

Hey Tom,

No need to apologise at all.

That is correct. I’m hoping to migrate from one platform to WordPress.

I see what you’re saying. For some reason I thought it was concerting users to WordPress format once they had logged in. I certainly agree, after reading a lot of info about passwords and hashing, it’s become clear a lot of the methods are less than ideal.

You have it correct, I want to completely move away from the old system.
