I tried to run this plugin today. The email is not being sent to the newly created users (alerting them of their new username and password). Is this disabled by default or do I need to add something to the file to trigger the email notifications?

Thanks in advance for your help.

One more thing, in response to Jody post #106… What I do to get the bars is to import cvs file into text editor then export back out into word, do a find-replace (commas for bars) and then export back out into text file.. I know the system says you can override your default but you have to remember to do this every time you import and because the role import is being overridden I have to import by role ( I am using worpdress as a classroom management system for a large class (200 users) and am breaking them into teams of six.. roles=team designation and for specific private forums)

I am using the plug in with 2.9 wordpress and works fine. However, when activating the plug in it disables some navigation and other mass changes, such as verifying users and the ability to move widgets into side panels. So I have to activate the plug in, import my users and then deactivate in order to regain all the navigation updating capabilities in wordpress. Lastly, the role I insert into the import file is being overridden by the drop down selection box on the plug-in panel.

Hi: Your plugin is great. I have extra, custom User fields like City, State, Phone, etc.,etc. I’m using a plugin called Cimy User Extra Fields to generate these extra user fields. Is there a way I can populate these extra user fields using your plugin? Thanks! Mitch

Small, but nice plugin; works very well and efficiently! Thank you very much.
But: Could you configure it in such a way that the “Subscriber” – and not the “Administrator” – is specified as the default role in case no role is specified?
Many thanks, WWolf

Thanks and regards

OK, I may be an idiot, but I’m trying to figure out how to get a list of names and emails which is now in a .csv format into the proper format required for this plugin. Just how is this done? Between the instructions of “Enable the plugin” and “Use it” there is a bit of a knowledge gap for me. The plugin requires the proper formatting, but how do you apply it to a .csv file?

Please, a step-by-step explanation for those of us who need it would be welcome!

This is just what we needed, THANK YOU! Now, is there any way modify the email that is sent to the users when their account is created?

Thanks for this plugin. Is it possible to modify it to allow existing users to be added to a blog. This would allow me to add my students to class specific blogs on an wpmu site which would be very helpful.

This plugin fails if the password contains some special characters such as / . etc

It gives Invalid username: error.

Any fix for it?

Wordpress 2.8.4, plugin does not seem to work at all. Just changes back to the generic Tools screen and nothing has been imported. Tried both pasting data in and from a file…oh well. Any other way to do this, anyone is aware of?

When I import the TXT file, the fields “firstname” and “lastname” remain blank. The users are recorded successfully with login, email, password and role, but the page shows the message: “No names entered in field”. Anyone have an idea to solve this?

I am sorry that I have made a mistake, this plug-in will not send newly added users emails automatically. Tks!

Thanks for making such great plug-in, may I know if I can import the users without sending them emails? Tks!!

Thank you so much for this plugin. I was dreading creating 200 new users by hand!
But it took me a long time to find your plugin. Why not add it to the WordPress Plugin Directory?

Again, thanks.

Love the plugin and the enhancements. I was using a previous version modified by D’Arcy Norman at ucalgaryblogs that gracefully handled existing usernames and email addresses on import. I tried to modify the new one with his added code but couldn’t get it to function. I was hoping someone who actually understands php could help. That is a feature my user need in a school where students are imported to multiple teacher blogs. Thanks

Users are being added successfully, but the password is auto-generated in each case…instead of the password I’ve specified.

Any idea why this would be happening?

I love the concept of this plugin and would like to use it to save a day’s worth of manual user input.
