assign to posts
-
Hi, can we import the users with Username, email, name, role=author, and password, and assign these users to their respective post ids?
so I don’t have to assign manually…

You can read in the documentation tab it:
#action_assign_post: Within each cell, you must indicate the post_id that will be assigned to this user. You can use a list separating each ID by commas. The post can be of any post type.
I couldn’t find the documentation initially anywhere written/mentioned… but after installing the plugin I found it in the wp backend as one of the tabs… I think you should specify that in your wp plugin description page too…
ok got it working at last in my local test machine for 1 user, for now… will try doing it on the live site next time…
what I did is, in my CSV file at the end I created a new column #action_assign_post https://snipboard.io/l8xFz5.jpg and inserted the post id, e.g from the post edit URL, post=1303. https://snipboard.io/sriTkm.jpg and import the users while uploading the file… so the user were now correctly imported and assigned to their respective pre-created posts…
There is a problem with importing passwords… the passwords that we insert here https://snipboard.io/lCvf1p.jpg does not work… when we try to login after the import… error The password you entered is incorrect…. what is the correct way to insert/import with passwords?
Yes, I have to improve the description to explain that they will find this tab once the plugin is installed.
I’m glad it’s working.
ok but what about the password problem? you did not attend to that… how do we import new users with new custom password field that will work, i guess it has to be a hash password… how to use Test@2023 password..
I tried changing the column from user_pass to password https://snipboard.io/c2ROYF.jpg and after importing that also does not work.
kindly check and let me know, your documentation does not say properly what exactly needs to be done…

I ended up using the user_pass column with hash passwords while updating that same users
Go to – https://codebeautify.org/wordpress-password-hash-generator https://snipboard.io/4yi7eo.jpg https://snipboard.io/WZwjnT.jpg
This tool generates a hash password which you can use to insert into your CSV file under user_pass column against all the user/s using the same password for now…
hope it helps others
As before, you only have to read the documentation tab:
- If you create a column password: if cell is empty, password won’t be updated; if cell has a value, it will be used.
- If you create a column called user_pass: this will be a hashed password that will be inserted directly in database, this is the best option to move users with their passwords using export tool
- If you don’t create a column for passwords (nor user_pass nor password): passwords will be generated automatically.
- You should not use both columns in the same import
I got it to work as per my earlier message… thanks
