 * I just exported a list of e-mail addresses into an Exel spreadsheet. I created
   the columns as specified: Username, Email; and I added the remaining 3 WordPress
   User columns: Name, Role, Posts. Then saved as CSV.
 * Next I tried to import. It does it thing, says it’s finished, and takes me to
   the User file. But the new users aren’t in the WP user control database.
 * Is it me?
 * thank you

 * sanchell2,
 * Currently roles cannot be imported in CSV (if you want, you can supoort it) and
   name and posts… we would need to see what column names are necessary.
 * And also, what is posts?
