Those would definitely be the (only) two tables you want to import.
Ok. And I definitely want to import BOTH??
The users table holds the basic login and user account stuff, and should be considered the must-have one.
The usermeta table holds the user capabilities, any profile data set by the user and (potentially) anything set through a plugin. If you want users to retain the same role, etc. then usermeta should be brought over, too.
Almost forgot. One more question. The database I am exporting from is for wordpress 2.0.4 and the one I am importing to is 2.0.5. Does this matter? Are their any differences in these tables for these 2 versions?
No, there was no change in the database schema for those two tables.
I’m trying to import a couple of thousand users from one WP blog to another. How do I get to those two tables?
When I use backup I’m creating a file with a bunch of tables, right?
Then, how do I import them into the new blog?
Is this something I have to do at the server level or can I do it from within WP?
Thanks.
