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! * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[Import and export users and customers] skipped rows feedback?](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/skipped-rows-feedback/) * Thread Starter [markbildner](https://wordpress.org/support/users/markbildner/) * (@markbildner) * [5 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/skipped-rows-feedback/#post-13222389) * 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”. * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[Import and export users and customers] skipped rows feedback?](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/skipped-rows-feedback/) * Thread Starter [markbildner](https://wordpress.org/support/users/markbildner/) * (@markbildner) * [5 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/skipped-rows-feedback/#post-13218781) * 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. * Username Email display_name first_name last_name bobsmith [bobsmith@xxxxxxx.net](https://wordpress.org/support/users/markbildner/replies/bobsmith@xxxxxxx.net?output_format=md) bob smith bob smith susansmith [susansmith@xxxxx.net](https://wordpress.org/support/users/markbildner/replies/susansmith@xxxxx.net?output_format=md) susan smith susan smith alicesmith [alicesmith@xxxxx.net](https://wordpress.org/support/users/markbildner/replies/alicesmith@xxxxx.net?output_format=md) alice smith alice smith - This reply was modified 5 years, 11 months ago by [markbildner](https://wordpress.org/support/users/markbildner/). - This reply was modified 5 years, 11 months ago by [markbildner](https://wordpress.org/support/users/markbildner/). * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[Import and export users and customers] skipped rows feedback?](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/skipped-rows-feedback/) * Thread Starter [markbildner](https://wordpress.org/support/users/markbildner/) * (@markbildner) * [5 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/skipped-rows-feedback/#post-13218284) * 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. - This reply was modified 5 years, 11 months ago by [markbildner](https://wordpress.org/support/users/markbildner/). * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[Invite Anyone] Is there a way to add members directly?](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/is-there-a-way-to-add-members-directly/) * Thread Starter [markbildner](https://wordpress.org/support/users/markbildner/) * (@markbildner) * [6 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/is-there-a-way-to-add-members-directly/#post-11895284) * You make a very good point about the backend. That could easily be improved. I confess I am on a shared server, so I have no right to expect performance. That said, here are some stats: * We have 216 user names. * If I pull up the entire user list on one page in Users->All Users, it takes 6.5 seconds. I can do a bulk action by clicking all of the names and submitting once. Very efficient! * If I pull up your invite-anyone page, it loads with the entire list of users in 6.1 seconds. Click click click submit I’m done. * If I try to add users via the search box on the Groups->Edit page, it takes 3.5 seconds to come up with choices for that one pattern, which I then can select one, click, and then return to the search box to type in another name. Really cumbersome. * It would be great to have (somewhere, anywhere) an opportunity to view a list of all nonmembers of a group with a bulk action to add them. But hey, I’m sure the Buddypress team has bigger priorities than my little feature request. * I started programming in the 70s. I anticipated many changes in computing in those first decades. But never in a million years did I believe that one day there would be worldwide teams of developers producing software products, code libraries, plugins etc. free for anyone to use or extend. Cheers to you and all who do this good work. - This reply was modified 6 years, 10 months ago by [markbildner](https://wordpress.org/support/users/markbildner/). * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[BuddyPress Groups Extras] Ongoing support of the plugin](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/ongoing-support-of-the-plugin/) * [markbildner](https://wordpress.org/support/users/markbildner/) * (@markbildner) * [7 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/ongoing-support-of-the-plugin/#post-11337023) * [@venutius](https://wordpress.org/support/users/venutius/) when you say the current version, do you mean the current version of buddypress?
