 * Hi there,
 * I’ve been rebuilding my client’s website, and need to import the subscriber list
   for their newsletter. However, there is no live version of their old website 
   to export the list from…
 * I do have a complete backup of the old site, with databases and everything. Is
   there a way to extract the subscribers from the backup files? Where is the information
   stored?
 * Hoping I can do this without having to re-activate the old site.
 * Thanks,
    Mitch

 * Hi Mitch,
 * The subscribers are stored in the wysija_users table in the database. You’ll 
   need to be familiar with SQL in order to extract them.
 * Hopefully that helps!

 * It does help! Thanks.
 * So I do actually have access to the old database through phpMyAdmin, and I see
   a few tables that seem like they might be the answer:
 * wysija_user
    wysija_user_history wysija_user_list
 * Is there a specific one that I could export the list from, or is is sort of a
   bit from each?
