    I am trying to import a csv file and I get the error below. The file is directly downloaded from the exported csv. I am just updating a new column with data in the cells. Email is included to match the user login name. Nothing was imported.

    Row 2 | Invalid email “First_Name Last_Name” | error

    @mfoisset,

    The program you used to edit the CSV file has either corrupted it or converted it to a non-standard format that the plugin does not understand.

    You should use a program or service that handles CSV files properly. I always recommend LibreOffice Calc, although you can also use a service such as Google Drive.

    I figure it out. When I tried your demo site it had these instructions:

    File must contain at least 2 columns: username and email. These should be the first two columns and it should be placed in this order: username and email. Both data are required unless you use this addon to allow empty emails. If there are more columns, this plugin will manage it automatically.

    Once I order the columns username and email. No errors. And I used Microsoft Excel, so that wasn’t the issue.

    Great, if you read documentation it should work and sometimes, Excel in some localizations also creates badly the CSV so LibreOffice is a good solution in this case.
