# skipped rows feedback?

 * The plugin is very flexible, but can you tell me is there a way to see which 
   rows are skipped in the import? If we add a bunch of new users, it’s likely that
   someone is going to have a username that conflicts with an existing user. We 
   can see what is added, but this requires the user to go back and compare the 
   output row by row to find any missed users.
 * I tried to find the answer here and in the documentation. Sorry if I missed the
   obvious!

 * In the page with the import result, you have in every row the error or problem
   of every user (if there were an error).
 * Did you see it?

 * No, I see the following when the import runs:
 * Importing users
 * Ready to registers
 * First row represents the form of sheet
 * Inserting and updating data
 * And then I see the list of imported users. The skipped users (duplicate userID)
   don’t show up. This particular output is from the front end page, but I got the
   same result from the admin console. There is a button to see the results, but
   that is just the user screen. Am I missing a setting or perhaps looking in the
   wrong place?
 * In case it was not clear, I am NOT updating existing users.

 * What you see is what we show now.
 * Duplicate user ids should have some kind of title like “This user was called 
   before like: “User already exists as:”

 * Any reason this message is not showing?
 * I just did a default install of WordPress 5.4.2. I ran the following file through
   twice, with Update Existing Users set to “no”. The first time it imported all
   3. The second time it imported nothing, but it displayed no errors. The only 
   plugin other than yours is Loginizer.

 * Where is the error there?
 * You are importing existing contacts with update to no. It does not import (because
   exists) nor update (because you set it to no udpate).
 * I don’t know which error are you trying to find.

 * If you are importing new users, and some of the list is rejected because the 
   username already exists, there is no notification. The only way to find the people
   that you missed is to manually compare the file with the screen output. I would
   think this should show up as an error: “username already exists” or “email address
   already exists”.

 * No because most of users, use this plugin to update periodically their users 
   so if we show a message always, it has no sense for them.

 * Yes it should be conditional on whether you are updating existing users. But 
   nevertheless it makes sense to be there. it is difficult to check to see if a
   new username is going to collide with an existing one!

 * We can create an option to show always if an user exists.
 * We have to prepare a new UX so now it is complicated to include it but in the
   future we will do.
 * Thanks for the idea.
