Collision Log

First, thank you, thank you, thank you. I have a set up a private password protected website for nearly 1000 users. “Import users from CSV with meta” saved me hours of error-prone tedium as I typed in the users information. “Import users from CSV with meta” worked out of the box, minimal learning on my part, and I was free to continue developing the rest of the site. Thank you, thank you, thank you.

But some cracks have appeared. 🙁 User name collisions are apparently now well handled. If John.Doe is already a registered username and a second John.Doe is encountered, the import of the second John.Doe apparently fails but no warning/exception is noted. Yes, I know that exceptions are irritating to deal with but it would be nice if failure conditions were email or otherwise listed at the end of an import.

Note: This would not be an issue if one is taking a CSV formatted file of current users and importing to another site as WordPress wouldn’t allow for the duplicate username. I am encountering this condition as I am importing a CSV formatted file of users from an external non-Wordpress data source and not a current WordPress site.

With out the collision detection and flagging, “Import users from CSV with meta” rates 4/5 as collision detection and flagging is important. With collision detection, “Import users from CSV with meta” is a 5/5.

Thank you for the work that you do. Much, much appreciated.
