I’ve done it the hard way.

Here are the problems I’ve faced while importing and my feature requests:

1) My first import didn’t include the “company” section, because in the example file in the column head it only writes “company”, not “company_name”. And it’s still the same. I think that example file should be fixed.

2) The dates in the list I exported from version 8.8.6 was in the “MM/DD/YYYY” format, but in the latest 8.9.4 version the format was “DD/MM/YYYY”. So when I imported my list, the numbers that are greater than 12 in the DD section, totally blowed in the new format and set the date “1 January 1970” for most of the users. After recognizing this I’ve changed the dates manually.

3) Sending members random passwords is a real PAIN. I’ve searched the forum and a lot of people are wondering a way to stop it. In import settings an option for “not send random passwords to members” would be a HUGE help. Becuase you make at least a few import try to set everything correctly and it totally blows sending email to hunderds of members in each time. I would highly request this feature if possible.

4) Another request I would like to ask is “Password import add-on”, just like the member importer. With that we can handle the migration process with less pain I believe.

Thanks again for your helps and providing good plugins and solutions.

Hi,

Thanks for the replies. If we use this database method; https://www.tipsandtricks-hq.com/wp-csv-to-database-plugin-import-excel-file-content-into-wordpress-database-2116

Can we import the e’mail’s as passwords by adding a “password” header into the csv file? Is there any other way to import the emails as passwords.

My members aren’t the most tech-oriented people and I’m trying to find a way to make them to be able to use their old passwords, which is their e-mails.

[Ozan]

I realized now that the example file provided above wasn’t including the password section. I imported my list according to that and now none of the passwords for users working. And I moved to a new server.

I need “password” header and informations obviously. Is the sequencing of headers important? Can I add a password header to the end of the list, and is that ok and good to go? I use e-mail’s as password. If ok, I’ll just copy the email section to the “password” header if that’s ok.

Waiting your urgent reply on this because all none of my old members can login to the site now.

Thanks.

Hi,

In the example file given in this address: https://www.tipsandtricks-hq.com/wordpress-membership/bulk-member-data-importer-addon-853 it rights only “company”.

The “subscription starts”, “last login” and “expiry date” are wrong for some of them. It writes “1 January 1970” default for most of them.

What are the correct headers for those, I’ll try to re-import and share the results.

Thanks.

[Ozan]

In the example file, the column head was only “company”, may it the true one “company_name” or something like that?

[Ozan]

In the table it shows “latin1_swedish_ci”, not utf-8.

Both the wordpress and plugin’s are default installations.

Should it be using utf-8 as default?

In the plugin settings, UTF-8 is also checked.

wzp, THANK YOU!

I was struggling with this.

I wasn’t knowing the [emember_protected] shortcode.

This solved all of my problems. Other shortcodes works perfectly within this shortcode.

THANK YOU A LOT AGAIN!

[Ozan]

I’ve corrected the code, but this time the shortcodes of wp eMember and eStore are not working. The correct code is:

<?php

if(wp_emember_is_member_logged_in(‘1’) || wp_emember_is_member_logged_in(‘2’))

{ ?>

Example text.

<?php }

?>

But when I use [wp_eStore_download_now_button id=12] and [wp_eMember_user_details user_info=”email”] shortcodes instead of “Example text.” they remain as text.

How can I make the eMember and eStore shortcodes to work inside a wordpress page by using the above code?

Hi,

In our membership sites we only offer paid memberships. So all the current members are paid members at first account creation.

The problem we face is, sometimes members cancel their membership after 2 or 3 months, but according to the current options of wp emember we need to cancel the membership of that member at that point and restrict the content.

It may be useful when all the content is given in the first month. But if the content is drip-content style and when a member wants to cancel after x months, he/she should still have right to access to the paid months’ content.

But in current options of wp eMember we cannot offer such a solution.

[Ozan]

I got it.

Thanks a lot.

[Ozan]

In eMember, when you go members tab and edit a member, there is a country part there. And all of them are English since emember’s primary language is English.

The problem is these country names are not included to the language file eng.php. So we cannot change them and they stamp it to the pdf’s in English. Whatever language change we do in related language files.

Can that be solved?

[Ozan]

We send the address information to the eMember plugin, not to PDF Stamper. And then the pdf stamper takes the information from member informations. We use estore shortcode [wp_eStore_download_now_button_with_stamping id=1].

When you send the {customer_address} directly to PDF stamper, it stamps what you send to it. No problem there.

But when you create a member with only “address_street” info (no country or address city details) and when the customer clicks the “download” button to stamp it, the pdf stamper things that the {customer_address} is based on 3 information: address_street, address_city, country even though all 3 may not be filled in member information.

And it tries to write it by adding comma’s between those elements. And since there is only address_street info in the customer details, it stamps it as:

address_street, , .

So it adds the , , . parts automatically.

Can this be solved?

[Ozan]

Thanks a lot. That was what I was looking for!

[Ozan]

I’m working on this. If there isn’t any other solution to do what I mention above, I’m planning to use php codes for this. Like below:

<?php if(wp_emember_is_member_logged_in(‘1’)) { ?>

Any Content

<?php } ?>

Is there any way to select multiple membership levels at once for the above example? Sth like this:

<?php if(wp_emember_is_member_logged_in(‘1-2-3’)) { ?>

Any Content

<?php } ?>

(obviously this one is not working)

[Ozan]

Here’s how it works. You need to check “Enable PDF File Encryption”, whether you use password protection or not. I thought I need to check it only when using password protection for pdf files.

After selecting “Enable PDF File Encryption”, leaving “File Password” empty, and “Use Email as Password” unchecked; in this combination, the “Allow copy” is working fine. Copying is not allowed when the feature is unchecked.

On the performance side, it uses nearly same resources as if using password protection. So if anybody want to restrict the copy of the pdf file, it may can be better to consider using it with password protection as well, since it already uses the same resource.
