# [Plugin: Import Users from CSV] Problems importing users

 * Hi,
 * I am looking for a plugin to integrate my membership system to a wordpress site.
 * I need to export from my database, and import to wordpress with ID:s from my 
   membership db, so that I can continually update users.
 * When I try to import your example.csv it works when I do NOT have an ID, and 
   updating works afterwards with the ID that WP has assigned.
 * I however need to submit my systems ID:s from start, in order to be able to update
   continually.
 * The goal is to let users log in and read material there, so I am also looking
   for a way to inactivate the users, and also be able to activate them over time
   when they have paid / not paid their membership fees.
 * Is this something that I could use your plugin for?
 * If not, do you know of any plugin that could do this? Or if it is possible to
   update the MySQL database directly (the tool I use for my membership system can
   access MySQL)
 * Thanks for help;
 * Per-Olof

 * Hi perherman,
 * Unfortunately, the plugin cannot create the user with the IDs from your system
   because it uses the WordPress core functions which don’t allow to do that.
    But
   you can use phpmyadmin to import only the ID column into the users table, then
   use the plugin afterwards to import the other data and any future import.
