Importing to add roles to current users in bulk | WordPress.org

Hello,

I have set up a csv file with Username, Email, and Role (role, roles, Roles, etc.)

The username and email fields seem to work fine. I’ve added the slug of the custom role i created in the third column and imported.

I can’t seem to get the role to be added to these people.

Can you help?

@jonnycuest,

Good morning, column has to be named “role” (in Documentation tab it appears).

Also, read there which format you have to use to fill i (slugs separated by commas).

I have attempted the upload with the column named role. It didn’t work again.

If I am only adding 1 new role to the current list of existing users i am uploading, do i need, do i need commas?

Does this work with custom roles vs wordpress standard roles?

@jonnycuest,

is this correct?

Column name is “role” not “Role”.
