Totally Useful

  • Exactly what I was looking for. I installed the plugin and migrated Ultimate Member users from one site to another in minutes. (After carefully setting up the UM fields to be identical).
    I notice that some of the meta-data fields in the CSV are serialized, so not human friendly but that’s fine for an export-import operation.
    It would be nice to be able to select multiple roles for export ??

    Regarding the erroneous sending of emails to members, I proceeded with caution and discovered that, yes, emails are sent to users. It seems that emails are not generated by the import users plugin though but by my membership plugin (Ultimate Member).. the solution is to deactivate Ultimate Member prior to importing members, then activate it after importing. That fixed the erroneous emails problem.

    Thank you very much, saved me hours of work.

    @jerrystewart99,

    Thanks for your words.

    Yes this plugin is not so easy to use and you have to prepare the CSV but this is a perfect tool to save hours of work.

    We are happy of reviews like this!

    Hi Jerry,

    I’m reaching out because it looks like you had a very successful import of users to Ultimate Member. Would you be able to give us some more detail about the column titles you used? We set up a spreadsheet and used the Ultimate Member meta-keys as column titles but the data is not transferring over to the Ultimate Member plugin. We are only having success importing a username, email, first name, last name, role, and the user is successfully an approved status. Let me know if you could share some more information about how you did this successfully, thanks!

    Hi there,

    Yes, happy to help if I can.
    My task was to migrate from one site to another, both using Ultimate Member with identical fields.
    I see in my csv that some fields are serialized. For example the gender field looks like this:
    a:1:{i:0;s:4:"Male";}
    I believe that this is php built-in serialization.. You can find references to this online. I think that the above code translates to “Array with one string member of 4 characters.. (I guessing here)

    I suggest that you set up your UM site, create a user manually and export it. That way you will see exactly what is required in each field.

    I hope this is of some help.

    The column headers are the slug for each field that you create when you add a new field in UM. The slug corresponds to the meta_key column in the wp_usermeta database table.

    Thanks so much for your response here. I’ll take that first step at exporting a user and seeing what the serialized data looks like!
