 * Hi –
 * I need to merge some users, but am not sure how to go about doing that. I have
   the same person in the user profile section two times. They have a different 
   username in the system, but they are using the same email address and all other
   info matches up. Is there a way to merge their two profiles into one?
 * Thank you.

 * Hello,
 * You can merge content from one user to another by deleting a user.
 * 1. Go into Users > All Users
 * 2. Find the account that you want to merge into another.
 * 3. Click “delete” for said user.
 * 4. You will then be brought to a screen with two options.
 * A. “Delete all content”
    B. “Attribute all content to:”
 * Choose option B. and all post created by the deleted user will be merged into
   the user you select.
 * I advise creating a backup of your WordPress installation before proceeding in
   case you want to reverse the change later.
 * Hope you found this helpful!

 * I did see how to merge the content and attribute it to one user. However, I have
   a plugin installed that allows the user to sign up for events (WP Events Manager).
   The user has signed up for one event under one username and a second event under
   a separate username. I was hoping to merge the usr profiles into so that we didn’t
   lose the event data.
