 * Yeah , I saw that much, but I wuz wondering if it could get modified to do this
   kind of thing.
    I mean like forking the plugin to import users instead of posts.
   Like “**Really Simple User CSV Importer**” :))))
 * I am currently trying to figure out the plugin’s code in order to fork a version
   that does this. It is for a private (not public) project.
 * Currently what I am trying to achieve is importing users too , and **doing it
   daily** **based on some local files**(.txt or CSV) that my contributors upload
   via FTP, instead of manually importing them via the plugin interface.
 * Any help would be appreciated.

 * Ok , I managed to write a script that imports the users and I think I found a
   way of “cron”-ing it.
    What still eludes me is how to make your rs-csv-importer.
   php use a known fixed input file on server(like plugindir/uploads/file.csv) and
   import it’s contents instead of asking me to upload one. Been searching with 
   no luck and I am out of ideas for now.
 * Any suggestions ?

 * You might be able to do that with copying codes from RS_CSV_Importer->import()

 * Thanks but I ain’t neither Php or WP guru. Do you have any practical example ?
   
   Wuz reading about **wp_handle_sideload** and I thought about replacing it on 
   line 71 instead of $file = wp_import_handle_upload(); Or maybe you can suggest
   another WP function that does this.
 * Thanks for wasting your time with my problems.
