 * Hi,
 * is there a possibility to import already existing subscriptions or add them manually?
 * I used to use Subscribe to Double-Opt-In Comments ([https://wordpress.org/plugins/subscribe-to-double-opt-in-comments](https://wordpress.org/plugins/subscribe-to-double-opt-in-comments))
   and there is no option to import them from the backend in your plugin. Importing
   from ‘Subscribe to comments reloaded’ should work, I think.
 * Is there any possibility?
 * All the best

 * Hi [@knodderdachs](https://wordpress.org/support/users/knodderdachs/),
 * As far as I understand you you’d like to import/export subscriptions from one
   website to another.
 * If so the following article should be helpful for you:

 * Hi,
 * no, I use your plugin since a few days and wanted to import the old subscriptions
   from the other plugin I used before. In the Tools tab in your plugin there is
   an option to import subscriptions from ‘Subscribe to comments reloaded’ plugin.
   But I used another plugin which is similar but not the same.
 * I think exporting the db tables from the old plugin and importing it to your 
   db table won’t work as there probably differ in its structure.
 * All the best

 * Hi,
 * I found a solution. I added a subscription myself and looked at the DB entry.
   Then I cloned it and changed the values for email, subscription_id, post_id and
   activation_key for any of the old subscriptions. Seems to work 🙂
 * All the best
