    I exported the user list but when I try to import it I receive an error:
    Problem uploading file to import. Error details: ‘Sorry, this file type is not permitted for security reasons.’

    I have not altered the CSV file at all.

    It seems that your hosting or some security plugin is creating this restriction.

    You can include in wp-config.php this line:

    define(‘ALLOW_UNFILTERED_UPLOADS’, true);

    Thank you, this worked.

    Great.

    Failed after repeated attempts on Inmotion Hosting using a very basic and fresh (today) WP installation. Same error as above. Tried deactivating WordFence and adding the wp-config mod suggested above. Neither worked, same error kept happening. Switched to another user importer and it worked on the first attempt even using the original CSV user export generated by this tool. Not complaining, just letting you know. Looks like a great tool, just didn’t work for me in this particular case.

    @klynam,

    Have you tried to include this one in wp-config.php?

    define(‘ALLOW_UNFILTERED_UPLOADS’, true);
