Migrating users to different user role in bulk

  • Hello,
    I am trying to assign 240 users a new user role. I don’t see a quick way to do this, and when I try to change more than one at at time, the number of users listed in the old user role never changes, so it appears to not be moving it. Thanks for your help.

  • I think that user roles (and the more fine-grained capabilities) touch two tables: users and user-meta, so you may need to check that you don’t miss any of the changes needed if you do this directly against the database. (Yes, make sure to have a sound backup before you attempt this.)

    I’d guess that the Command Line Interface could help, if your hosting provider supports it. Look at https://wp-cli.org/ for more information.
