danmylotte, thanks for the info. That actually sounds quite reasonable, but that should mean that if I login as the user they should then appear. I believe I did that and still didn’t see them, but that was several weeks ago and since then I uninstalled the plugin (partly for this reason and partly because it conflicted with yet another plugin that we recently decided to use, WP Responder).

Well, I tried uploading again, this time including user_login as well as user_pass, user_email, role, first_name and last_name. As before I received confirmation that all users were added (except two who were previously registered for another class), and what’s weird is that the User panel actually states that the total number of users include both myself and the new students that I just added. Yet, their names don’t appear anywhere and when I tried to upload the CSV file again I received the error that they were already registered. So, where are they? I’m quite sure they won’t be able to login, as that happened last time. So now I’ll have to manually add them with new user names. What could I be doing wrong?

Thanks for anyone’s help!

Thanks John41. I looked at my last CSV file and it did have a user_login field (duplicated email address), but the previous one did not (hmm???). Does it perhaps matter which column it’s in? Mine was the last column. Next time I load a new group I’ll make sure the field is there and check again.

p.s. I also had to change the password format. Originally, I had students use their email address for user_pass initially (and suggested they change it themselves), but apparently AMU doesn’t allow special characters, like the @ sign, so that might have been a problem as well.
