    Hi,

    Thank you for writing to us.

    You can use any third party plugin to import the users. You may use these or any other plugin that fulfills your requirement:

    https://wordpress.org/plugins/import-users-from-csv-with-meta/

    https://wordpress.org/plugins/users-customers-import-export-for-wp-woocommerce/

    We hope this information helps. Please let us know if you have any further questions.

    Thank you for your terrific response. I just have one question. What special considerations do I need to be aware of for importing from csv file such that I can import the custom fields I have defined for my users in registrationmagic.

    I can see how data can be mapped to table wp_users but it does not have the custom fields defined in registrationmagic.

    The custom field for registrationmagic seem to be stored in table wp_rm_submission_fields.

    Which of the import plugins would work with this extended schema for registrationmagic?

    Thanks again.

    Hi,

    By import, I assume you mean importing into Drupal. The account custom fields in RegistrationMagic are special fields marked in the forms whose labels and values are associated with user profiles. For tighter integration with WordPress default WordPress Users profiles, we recommend associating user-meta keys with respective profile fields.

    I think your situation demands exporting the RegistrationMagic account custom fields along with WordPress Users data in a consolidated format for quick import inside Drupal. As you have already noticed, the data is split into different tables and will require merging before the import.

    We are not familiar with Drupal environment, so unfortunately cannot recommend any tool to automate it. You may wish to consult a Drupal expert for this.

    Always happy to answer your questions!
