    I’ve had a quick look at your recommendations, and it would appear that this combination will do what I require, but I will go through them individually later today.

    I take your point about using the membership number as a password.

    Many thanks for the information!

    No, it’s not an existing WordPress site, this is still in the process of being created.

    The database we have is totally independent, albeit cloud-based, and at the moment is only used for processing membership information. It was two fields in this database which I was hoping to be able to link access to the members’ area on the new website, to.

    I realise I could import data using something like the ‘Import users from CSV with meta’ plugin, however this wouldn’t automatically add new members who joined after the initial import, which is what I was hoping to be able to do.

    Thanks for the information. The Import users from CSV with meta plugin looks like like it could be a solution. The only downside I can see is that new members joining of the charity after the initial import will need to be either periodically imported into the database or added in manually via the front end of WP Members Membership. I was rather hoping to find a solution whereby our own database could be queried directly, but if that’s not possible, this does seem the next best solution.

    I’m not very familiar with such databases myself, however I know enough to see exactly what the import tool will do. However one of my colleagues does have the knowledge required, so when we get to the point of getting this set up, we’ll do some extensive testing as suggested.

    Thanks for your assistance.

    Many thanks for your help.

    I’ll have a good look at WPMU since it does seem like it’s going to be an answer to this particular problem.
