 * I have a closed User Group with the following column headers:
    Username, Name,
   Email, Role, Posts, Last Login, First Name, Last Name, Membership Number. As 
   far as I can see the Name Column is the addition of the First Name and Last Name
   columns with a space between. The Last Login column is not used. The Membership
   Number Column is vital. The password column is not shown. I have some 545 members
   to enter using a .csv file in which all details except Posts and Last Login, 
   but including password, are shown. However how do I match those column headers
   with the headers shown in the sample file “user_login”,”user_email”,”user_pass”,”
   first_name”,”last_name”,”display_name”,”role”,”custom_usermeta_1″,”custom_usermeta_2″?
   I match Username to user_login, Email to user_email, Password to user_pass, First
   Name to first_name, Last Name to last_name, but what do I match Membership Number
   to? When I try to upload the details appropriately matched with Membership Number
   to custom_usermeta_1 I get an error message, but when I click on the link I cannot
   find the error message, so I have no idea what I am doing wrong. I would greatly
   appreciate some assistance. I am a relative newbie but am trying to avoid having
   to make 545 odd individual entries! Thanks, David
