 * Great plugin:)
 * Is it possible to import users from the users of wordpress to all staff members?
   
   I am trying to build a employee directory for the intranet with this plugin. 
   But I cannot find the correct table in the database.
 * Thank you for your help!

 * Hey chepilot,
 * Thanks! I’m glad you like it.
 * It should be possible, just maybe not easy. I’m using a Custom Post Type (named`
   staff-member`) to create the staff. So they’re all located within the `posts`
   table but since I’m using nearly all custom fields, most of the data is located
   within the ‘`postmeta` table.
 * Manually importing posts to the database is not my strong suit so I’m afraid 
   I can’t quite point you in the right direction on this. But if you know what 
   you’re doing, then it should be possible. 🙂
 * Sorry I can’t be of more help.
