Searched a lot in many places to get a plugin to import BuddyPress members from CSV file in WordPress database but did not get any. So decided to write a plugin named BuddyPress Members Import which will import WordPress as well as BuddyPress members from CSV file to WordPress database.
Plugin name: BuddyPress Members Import
Features:
- WordPress members can import.
- WordPress users extra fields can be mapped with the account.
- BuddyPress members can import.
- BuddyPress members extra fields(xprofile) can be mapped with the account
- Existing users account updation.
- User password set from CSV file.
- xProfile fields all type fields supports.
- Mapping of members and groups.
Important points:
- Must have database back before importing users/members.
- Individual data should be in double quote and separated by comma(,).
- To update the existing users you have to provide their ID in CSV file.
- First line should contain only fields name.
- For BuddyPress xprofile fields name should be as same as the name of database table column name.
- In CSV file member group id(s) column name should be ‘member_group_ids’. Before importing members all group should be created and in CSV file provide the groupd id(s) separated by double colon(::).
- To import values for multivalued field vales must be separated by double colon(::)
Eg: if a multivalued field having data WordPress and BuddyPress then in CSV file you have to provide these vales as WordPress::BuddyPress
- Check the check box(Username and e-mail ID are same.) if you want to use username as same as email address.
- Check the check box(Send username and password to new users.) if you want to send username and password to users mail.
- Check the check box(Show password nag on new users sign-in.) if you want user must change their password in their first sign-in.
- Check the check box(Username and e-mail ID are same.) if you want to use username as same as email address.
- An example csv file will be present in plugin package.

Hello Bruno,
Checked the code again and seems if you will upload a CSV file containing 10 blank lines then only you will get the message as above. Let me know your case so if we can come to the solution which will help full for others too.

Hello,
Can this plugin import avatars? or i guess put in the url to where the avatar image would be located so that the buddypress will pick it up? We were using an old social group platform and updating to buddypress. We have over 3000 users most of which have images that we can want to transfer over. Thanks!
I am trying to import to different csv files for members so that the complete profile information is in buddypress. However the user’s already exist in the wordpress user database and the user meta database on the new site. All we really need to do is match the current user and import there extended profile information into buddypress. Do you have any idea if your plugin can work for this?
Hello Chris,
What I understand from your comment is you want to update the information for some pre existing users/members.
If my understanding is correct then YES, you can use this plugin.
What you have to follow:
- In your CSV file you have to have user_email field because BMI plugin using this field for checking whether the user is present or not in database.
- you have check the 2nd check box present in import form.
Thanks
Manish
