WP eMember – importing new members into database

[Roger]

can we import the existing members into the new member db?

before answering your question, i need to know the following info:

1. are you using wordpress integration?

2. are you using custom field?

3. are your users in WordPress user’s database already?

Hi,

The users are not yet in the WP DB. The DB they ARE in has additional fields. I’d like to incorporate/add these fields. I would guess I cannot delete any fields.

I normally import an SQL or CSV file, but am open to other/easier ways.

And I have custom php code I will be using that needs to access the additional fields I mentioned.

I am not familiar with wordpress integration.

Thanks for your help.

Importing the data directly into the eMember plugin’s members table using PHPMyAdmin would probably be the best option. This video tutorial on PHPMyAdmin might come in handy:

Update: You can also use the bulk member data importer addon:
