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 on April 9, 2024

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!

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

By jykiddie on May 18, 2022

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!

Simply adequate

It does what it says, easy to use if used to databases. I did use it in an intallation with lots of user meta and it's behaving really nice.
Also the Exporter add on it's working nicely.
Thanks a lot!

It works!
