 * I have somehow managed to get two users who are “member” but not WP-Users. How
   can I add them both as users and ensure the records tie up?

 * Hi,
 * > I have somehow managed to get two users who are “member” but not WP-Users.
 * Can you explain how you added two members into your members area? The reason 
   why I am asking is explained below.
 * **Note: When members are added manually to your membership site they are also
   added to WP Users. It is important to keep this in mind, it will help you understand
   when you enable other features of the plugin.**
 * Kind regards.

 * All members are added manually and the process we have used for sometime is to
   create them as a WordPress user and then import them from the user list.
    How
   we have managed to get to this situation is a mystery but one we want to reconcile.
   Both members have been in the system for some years and we have only just noticed
   this situation. Any advice?

 * Are these the only members in this situation? Do you have any recollection how
   they were added to your site?
 * As I mentioned above when you add a member manually they are also added as WP
   Users. If you register them as WP Users then you can import them as members. 
   This is the only process our plugin currently works with. It is simple and easy
   to manage and works well with WordPress.

 * As far as we can tell these are the only two.
    We do as you say which is to add
   as a user and then import to being a member. Still want to reconcile this strange
   situation, but how?

 * Unfortunately I have no answer myself. This is a very peculiar situation.
 * Kind regards.
