Import users

can this be done? I would also like to import a csv file of usernames, passwords and email addresses.

this plugins doesn’t allow importing password for security reason. with some restrictions, ya its possible to import csv file.

password not a big deal then, how do i go about importing the csv?

i see how to import new users in the db but what about the password part? How would that get assigned to each user then?

After you import your users, you can tell them to reset their password before they log into the site.

Currently we don’t have an option for importing from a CSV file. We have plans to add this feature in the future.

thanks, i will upload the data into the db and do the password reset. A import/export feature would be great to have.

I uploaded all of the data less the password and did a password reset test with one user which worked great! My question is, is there a way to do a password reset for all users at once? In other words, rather than going one by one with each user i would like to do all of the users at once and the password would then be sent to them via their email…

Just email your users and ask them to reset the their password. That will generate a new password which will be emailed to the user.

A lot easier than generating passwords yourself and then emailing them to the users?
