    Hi,

    Is there any way to create new “Users” in WordPress 2.7.1 by uploading a text file, xml doc, spreadsheet or a script, rather than going into the “Users” > “Add New” section of the Dashboard?

    I have to create 60 users and would prefer not to have to enter in the following details for each User:
    Username (required), First Name, Last Name, E-mail (required), Website,
    Password (twice), Role, for each user
    60 times within the Dashboard.

    Cheers,

    Hi,

    WordPress stores details in database..you can import your XML file into your wordpress user table..[default: wp_user].

    Thanks,

    Hi Shane,

    Thanks for your reply.

    So would I create my XML file and then go into PHPMyAdmin (or similar) and Import this XML file into the wp_user table in my MySQL database?

    Would the XML file nodes/entries have to be the same name as the relevant columns/fields in the wp_user table?

    Cheers,

    Hi,

    You have to setup the XML file with the same entry details in the database..once you have done with SML file just import it

    That’s it!

    Thanks,

    Hi Shane,

    There is no option to import an XML file within the version of MyPHPAdmin that I am using. The only options are: CSV, CSV using LOAD DATA and SQL.
