Hi, sorry to say it wasn’t your plugin. I should have mentioned that. Mainly my question was related to how i could adjust where it’s currently at! If i try to do this from now what would you suggest?

Daniel,
Did you assign the role? If you matched the text string for the subscribed person in your new blog, it should have worked. If you left it blank, then the script couldn’t assign them as a subscriber. Also make sure you are using the latest version of the script. there are three updates listsed above.. you want the most recent one. The early version didn’t assign role.

I imported 500(subscribed) users from my old site and have had 55(registered subscribers) new users sign up but i want them all to be subscribed is there a plugin for this after the users are in?

If i got into Tools>>Subscribers i can see that all the ones i imported are not subscribed. I can manually edit each one to Automatically subscribe me to newly created categories:. Can a plugin do all these to same tones of time?

Sorry about that, a recent change in my server configuration caused that problem. I’ve corrected the links now. Thanks for letting me know about that.

Am i crazy or is this code behind a log in? I tried to follow the links, but hit a log in for grammary-tech.com and my google log in did not get me past.

Works great, thanks!

My only wish is for it not to email the new user.

I tried the “Allow Multiple Accounts” plugin which is supposed to ‘Allow multiple user accounts to be created from the same email address’, but that didn’t work with this plugin, which still requires a unique email address.

My only option seems to be to put in fake email addresses.

Any other suggestions?

BTW, I’m a little confused how the ‘role’ field works…if I assign the role to each user per line do I also need to select that role from the drop-down?

Sadly, my only real language is English

The script fails when I’m trying to import records which contains danish characters like æ,ø and å. Any chance to fix this would be great

Awesome. I’ve been looking for something like this for a bit. In my case, I’m trying to keep a wordpress user base in sync with a third-party application. On a weekly basis, I’ll update the wordpress users. Is there any way to tell the script to compare the table and the csv file and make the table match the csv file, deleting users that aren’t in the csv file but in the table, adding users that are in the file but not the table, and ignoring those that are in both? It sounds ridiculous, but we have a very transient user-base at this org, having over 1000 employees and experiencing over 100% turnover per year.

Thanks, again.

Curtis,

You are sort of correct .. you must remember the very first field is the login name .. so you really should split your users “Name” into first and last names.. you might find this page helpful in doing that in Excel ..

Remember, the line to import must look like:

login_name|Curtis Penner||mypassword|myemail|myrole
