    Hello Thomas,

    Was alerted to your plugin by the folks at PMPro;
    I am trying to Approve a new member at time of import;
    The level requires approval with add-on https://www.paidmembershipspro.com/add-ons/approval-process-membership/

    I see that in the DB the value is in wp_DB_usermeta > meta_key pmpro_approval_1 > When approved the meta_value gets updated (see below)

    Do you think there is a way to update this meta-Value to approve the Member on upload?

    meta_value:
    s:6:”status”;s:8:”approved”;
    s:9:”timestamp”;i:1537887743;
    s:3:”who”;i:2;
    s:8:”approver”;
    s:6:”xxxxxx”;

    When Pending
    meta_value:
    s:6:”status”;s:7:”pending”;
    s:9:”timestamp”;i:1537889357;
    s:3:”who”;
    s:0:””;
    s:8:”approver”;
    s:0:””;

    Thanks
    Daveed

    Hi Daveed,

    It should be possible to import an approval record to the wp_usermeta table with this plugin.

    You _would_ need to JSON encode (serialize) the data to use in the import .CSV file though.

    I’ve personally done this for a client using a spreadsheet (Apple Numbers) and a few formulas, but it can be a bit time consuming to generate the right set of spreadsheet formulas. Then you have to copy the result – by value – to a different cell column before the export operation again.

    If you’re not comfortable with this, feel free to reach out to myself or anybody else who’s familiar with how to manually serialize data and importing it (you may have to pay for that service).

    Otherwise there are a few different websites “out there” that serializes PHP data for you, but obviously there are limits to how effective that will be if you have hundreds of users to import.
