Updating users data from csv not working

silviac,

If the columns have the same name as the meta_key used, it will work.

Try to see if this is correct.

Hi,

Checked the columns meta_keys and this are the same. Also did this test:
I imported a new user via CSV. Then I updated this user with a new csv. This worked. It seems the problem is somewhere with the records that have imported longer ago.

kind regards,
Silvia

Hi Javier,

I found the error. The first fields of my csv weren’t Username and Email anymore (as shown in the example). I updated this in the csv and now all fields update correctly.
This issue is solved.

Kind regards,
Silvia

Silvia,

So it is working now, isn’t it?

Ah ok, please check the CSV format always.

Please give us a review or donation for the support.

Javier,

Still seem to have one issue. When importing the user updates, the password also gets reset. As a lot of users have already changed their password during the last months, so I do not want to have their passwords reset. How can I solve this? There is no password column in my .csv file.

Thx again!

Silvia

Silvia,

As you can see in the code:

if( !empty($password) )
							wp_set_password( $password, $user_id );

If you have not used the password column it should not have been changed.,

The Documentation tab of the plugins seems to say that if you want to keep the old passwords, you should add a password column but leave it empty.

If user is updated:
– If you don’t create a column for passwords: passwords will be generated automatically
– If you create a column for passwords: if cell is empty, password won’t be updated; if cell has a value, it will be used

MarcGuay,

Sorry I updated the plugin with new code and I forgot update it.

I have just done it.

SAME ISSUE MINE ISN’T WORKING THOUGH.

Please help. I downloaded and installed the csv plugin and was able to import users just fine after some tweeking of the CSV File. I’m now trying to import additional data for users that have already been imported. I didnt add any new metatags just new data inside original metatags from the 1st import. I’m using the same CSV file I did from the first import but the new data will not be imported. When I try it says I need two field Username and email. The CSV file is the same one I used the first time and it worked so i’m not sure why the import wont take.

However The users can be reimported fine if and only if I remove the meta tags and data from all previously imported users.

HERE is an image of the spreadsheet im using. It is the same one I used initially that worked the only difference is me adding data into rows AV – BJ for some of the users.

I seriously have been working on this for three weeks. PLEASE HELP.

This thread is closed, we are using a new one. Thanks.
