Import users

Hi,

Question 1:

I am using a plugin called ‘Import users from CSV with meta’ and it works fine. The only thing is it won’t import any passwords…

The meta key I’m using is: user_password

Is this correct?

Question 2

When I tried to log in – as the test user I imported – then it says wrong password and a link to Forgot password. This links to the WordPress screen and not to the UM recover password page. Why is this and how to link it to the right page?

Regards,
Jochem

Hi @jochembrouwer,

1. Passwords aren’t stored in usermeta – it is in the user table. Please see: https://codex.wordpress.org/Database_Description#Table:_wp_users

2. Since you’re importing users via plugin, it creates new user records with unique IDs and passwords.

Are you migrating a site to another server? If so, you can try WP Migrate DB to keep the unique records on migration.

Hi Champ,

I changed user_password into user_pass

But it still doesn’t accept the imported password…

Hi @jochembrouwer – Unfortunately, this issue with ‘Import users from CSV with meta’ is beyond our support scope. I suggest that you ask the Plugin developer to help you with importing password.

Since ‘Import users from CSV with meta’ only import usermeta, my guess is it won’t upload the user_pass because it is not stored in usermeta table, it is stored in user table.

Now I changed it into: Password in the CSV file, this works!

But when I type in the wrong password I like the link ‘Forgot password’ to link to the UM page and not to the WordPress forgot password page.

Where/ how do I change this?

Hi @jochembrouwer

Unfortunately, you will need to redirect the /password-reset/ or Reset Password page to your desired page manually. You can use this plugin for redirection: https://wordpress.org/plugins/redirection/
