Notified every user…
by deverecreative·8 months ago·1 reply
This plugin notified all 150 users from a staging site they we were working on. This is despite choosing the box not to notify new users. I am receiving a slew of angry and confused emails. Thanks for nothing… I should have just added them manually.
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
by oleostudio·1 year ago
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 constantly, I deleted the import_membership_id field damaging many logical programming that I have on my site with this field …
They should give the option to use this or the previous one.

Worked a treat!
by Zacher·3 years ago
Worked really well.
Two tips for new users:
1) Use the example CSV file to get your data formatted for import
2) Ensure you use ALL the columns required (you don’t need to worry about the custom ones)
Thanks for saving me loads of pain importing multiple users.
a lifesaver, works well, documentation helpful

I downloaded this plugin in desperation yesterday and it did exactly what I needed it to. The sample of what the csv file should look like enabled me to merge data from MailChimp and WooCommerce to add user to the site, so they could log in. Terrific plug-in!
