    Hi.

    Want to use your plugin with a new site that I′m building. We had an old family site with a lot of registred members, and I want to import them and use the same fields as before for registration. How could I set up that, so that they are possible to import? There were som custom fields with meta values (family bransch/genealogy etc) before that I want to continue to use.

    The page I need help with: [log in to see the link]

    Hello @peter0013

    Every field has the “Meta Key” setting used to connect the field with the database data. Just used the same metakeys in UM custom fields as metakeys in custom fields on your old site. See this doc: How to add fields to a form

    Maybe you don’t need to import data. Start your new site as a copy of the existing site, install Ultimate Member, add needed custom fields to the registration and profile forms.

    If you wish to start your new site as a new WordPress installation with an empty database you should export users from your old website and import them to your new website. There are two ways to do this:

    1. Export/import database tables wp_users and wp_usermeta. This method requires more knowledge and caution, but allows you to transfer all user data.
    2. Use third-party party plugins for exporting/importing users. This method is simpler, but may not transfer complex data correctly. See this doc: Export & Import
