Register Users in Bulk

No suggestions so far … anybody? Is there a way? Can we look at how it is done when converting from another blog perhaps and work from that?

Guess you could take a look at greymatter.php, dotclear.php, and textpattern.php in your “wp-admin/import” directory, as I believe these scripts import user data into WordPress.

Well good idea, but too complex for me to quite grasp. I gave up and did it this way:

1. I made a modified copy of the user page from the dashboard that only had the new user and not the modify user parts of it.

2. I wrote a script in one of my favorite programs, notetab from https://notetab.com that retrieved one user at a time from my delimited file, filled in their nickname, username, email address, and password (x2) and then submitted it. It then repeated itself until all entries were made. I did 273 users in about 12 minutes without intervention. I could write it in php probably and go faster, but this worked fine.

Thanks for the help MichaelH.

Any way I could get a copy? I’m going to be adding 800 users, and this sounds fantastic!
