User Import Add-On For WP All Import

Moving users into WordPress by hand is slow, and it gets worse when profiles carry roles, passwords and extra fields added by other plugins. This add-on handles that work through an import. You point it at a file, then drag and drop each column onto the matching WordPress user field. Custom user meta from themes or plugins can be imported along with the standard data, and hashed passwords can move across so people keep their existing credentials.

The plugin works for a one-time migration from another platform or for ongoing updates to existing user data. Large lists can be processed in batches, which helps avoid overloading a server. Imports can run on a schedule using cron jobs or point-and-click scheduling. Sites that use WPML can import multilingual data, and developers can write PHP snippets inside the plugin to adjust the import logic. It requires WP All Import Pro.

Features

• Several file formats: Import users from CSV, Excel, XML and Google Sheets files, so you can work with whatever format your current user list is stored in.
• Drag and drop field mapping: Match columns in your file to WordPress user fields by dragging them into place, without reorganizing the source data by hand first.
• Custom user meta import: Fields added to user profiles by themes or plugins can be detected and imported, so that extra profile data comes along with each user.
• Hashed password migration: Bring hashed passwords over from another site so users can keep signing in with their current credentials instead of resetting them.
• Roles and capabilities: Assign user roles and capabilities during the import, so every imported user has the right permissions as soon as the import finishes.
• Batch processing for large lists: Import thousands of users in a single run, with batch options that help keep the server from being overloaded during big imports.
• Scheduled imports: Automate recurring user imports with cron jobs or the point-and-click scheduling feature, which keeps user data current without repeating the import yourself.
• WPML and PHP support: Import multilingual user data with WPML, and write or test custom PHP snippets inside the plugin for advanced import logic.
