Mapping of Members and group is added to new version.
- You have to have groups in your BuddyPress setup.
- Give the column name in CSV file to ‘member_group_ids’.
- Then in CSV file for each members provide the group ids separated by double coon(::).
- Example CSV file present in download package.
For the groups import, if you have a user that is already in the system and is already in BP groups (say group id of 3, 5, & 7), and then in the import csv they are only in with an id of 9. What will the result be? Will they now be in 3,5,7 & 9, or just 9? Thanks in advance.
It fails to update existing users here. All fields are the same and imported successfully, but I added some profile fields and want to process the list again. It says “Following user(s) are not imported as they are already registered in your website”
Please confirm that whether you have provided the ID of the existing users in CSV file or not.
If you want to update an existing user then you have to provide the ID of that user.
I haven’t. Since I’m using the same CSV file I used to import users in the first place, I just have their usernames. It would be helpful if the plugin would check for matching usernames and update the records as needed…
Added a checkbox in the admin form name ‘Update existing users’. Now if this checkbox is checked then existing user data will be update else no update of existing users..
Thanks
Thanks a lot!
Hi,
i’ve got a question.
When i update an existing user, by checking the update checkbox, it does update an user, but also gives them a new password. The new password doesn’t work and the multi-select box xprofile field doesn’t get updated too. Other xprofile fields do get updated.
When i insert a new user, everything works fine, password etc. Only the multiselect box xprofile field doesn’t get processed. I use the correct profile name name and seperate options with ::
Thanks for the using BuddyPress Members Import.
Understand your issues and seems multi select values are not working at all.
Next for existing user password updating but not working.
For existing users yes BuddyPress Members Import plugin updating the password and also I have tested that it is working.
But No problem I am trying to reproduce the issue at my and and get back to you ASAP.
Hello Rado/All
Apologies for the issues. And of-course thanks for rising the flag because of this issues are fixed. Plugin is updated for new buyers. Old buyer can send me a request mail with their mail ID used for bought the plugin.
Please let me know the mail id by which you bought the plugin so I can send the updated one to your mail ID.
List issue and new features added:
- xprofile fields for multiple values data not save issue- fixed.
- For old user update added a checkbox for asking whether admin want to change the user password or not- New feature added.
In plugin ZIP you can see a sample CSV file present in which some fields nae present.
Below are the WordPress core fields name:
‘user_login’, ‘user_pass’,
‘user_email’, ‘user_url’, ‘user_nicename’,
‘display_name’, ‘user_registered’, ‘first_name’,
‘last_name’, ‘nickname’, ‘description’,
‘rich_editing’, ‘comment_shortcuts’, ‘admin_color’,
‘use_ssl’, ‘show_admin_bar_front’, ‘show_admin_bar_admin’,
‘role’
For Xprofile fields name should be as same as you have provided at the time of field creation.
Like if you are creating a field with name DOB. Then in CSV file you have to provide DOB.
Hello,
I just used your plugin to import a large list of 3000+ users. Overall it worked great. However I noticed that the data I have in for the user_login field was changed on many. Some to their email, some to pieces from other parts of their data. This has caused some other plugins I’m using to link to their buddypress profiles to not find their profiles correctly. Any ideas? Thanks!

Hello,
I also imported a “Description” buddypress field that is a multi-lined text field. However the import only imported the first line of text. So many of the descriptions are cut off. Any way to address this? Thank you!
One more question,
Is there a way to import an image for buddypress avatar/profile image? I tried usein ghte field “avatar” with a url to to the image, but didn’t seem to work. Thanks for all the help!
Hi, I’ve just purchased the BuddyPress Members Import plugin. I’ve already a suggestion for the next update: could you make it translatable and provide a .pot file? Thank you.
Hi.
I cannot get import to work.
I am using the minimal number of fields based on the sample csv file you provide. and… the users do get imported but…
The buddypress profile that is created cannot be edited by the users once the log in. (I imagine something in the structure created is wrong)
Also. even though I check the ‘Show password nag on new users sign-in’. checkbox. When they log in they are presented with no nag screen.
Any ideas what is going on? I can’t use it this way as the imported users cannot edit their own profile.
#Edit profile
After import users. User needs to login >> go to profile >> Edit from this screen user can edit their profile.
#Password Nag
As per WP instruction at the time of user creation need to set the password nag true and BMI plugin doing the same. Password nag not coming my guess – BuddyPress plugin redirecting users to home page after login. But in general WordPress landing them to their profile where password nag should come.
Hi.
I had problems with imported members (their profile is not editable) and placed a question here yesterday.
The question was removed!
I don’t understand this. I am a paying customer with a problem, posing a question on the support forum. Could you please address the problem and help me solve it.
Thanks
I am sure that you aware about WP post nature, those needs to be moderate then only show. I was not able to access internet last two day that is why unable to approve your comments. I think now you can see your comments.
1. When adding custom profile fields to the import, do I need to add them in any particular order to the sample csv file? Do I add them after the group IDs header?
Hello,
#1: No need to maintain any order. Just need to confirm that the xprofile field name and the column name in CSV should be same.
#2: Never tested with s2Member. If get time this week then will test.
Thanks

Can members be assigned to groups as part of the CSV import?
Nope, mapping members and group is not available in this plugin.
Mapping of Members and group is added to new version.
- You have to have groups in your BuddyPress setup.
- Give the column name in CSV file to ‘member_group_ids’.
- Then in CSV file for each members provide the group ids separated by double coon(::).
- Example CSV file present in download package.
For the groups import, if you have a user that is already in the system and is already in BP groups (say group id of 3, 5, & 7), and then in the import csv they are only in with an id of 9. What will the result be? Will they now be in 3,5,7 & 9, or just 9? Thanks in advance.
If user already mapped with group 3,5 &7, and then in the import csv they are only in with an id of 9. they now be in 3,5,7 & 9

In Important note section this is written.

This should not be present in the plugin. Because if this will happen then we would not have the control on prevent the existing members.
Give me some time to implement this efficiently into the plugin with some admin setting so it would not be the problem anymore.
Hello All,
Added a checkbox in the admin form name ‘Update existing users’. Now if this checkbox is checked then existing user data will be update else no update of existing users..

Hi,
I just purchased your plugin. Few questions.
1. When adding custom profile fields to the import, do I need to add them in any particular order to the sample csv file? Do I add them after the group IDs header?
2. Does this plugin play nice with s2member?
Thanks in advance!
