## Installation

Use your WordPress Admin dashboard to install this plugin:
 Plugins > `Add Plugin`
> `Search for "Export Users" by Daniel Loureiro`

#### GitHub Installation

You can manually install this plugin through GitHub, although it is not recommended
because you won’t get the automatic updates:

 1. Go to [https://github.com/loureirorg/wordpress-plugin-export-users](https://github.com/loureirorg/wordpress-plugin-export-users);
 2. Clone the repository to your `wp-content/plugins`;
 3. Inside the cloned folder, run `composer install --no-dev` and `npm install --production`;
 4. Do not run `composer install` without the `--no-dev` option on a production server
    as it will install development libraries like phpunit, leading your server to be
    vulnerable to remote code execution attacks (RCE).;

## FAQ

### What about “Formula Injection” vulnerability?

This plugin is protected against this vulnerability since version 0.5.0.

This plugin offers user meta. The other plugins I tried only offer that in a premium
paid version. Thank you. Works great!
