Notified every user…

Works .. Kind Of?
If you have a list of 2-3 users, things work fine. If you scale up to anything larger than that, it times out pretty quickly. At that point, just create them manually.
I hate that we are forced to use this plug-in in Paid Memberships Pro
The external plug-in used to work perfectly, since they force us to use this plugin for Paid Memberships Pro I have had nothing but failures. Constantly exceeds the memory of the server, error 500
