# Sync Existing Users

 * Hello,
 * I just installed your neat little plugin with hopes on implementing first and
   last names within the xprofiles.
 * I have about 160 members registered and I’m wondering if there’s a way to automatically
   push the they WP user Data to the new xprofiles — simply clicking update to the
   profile does not populate these fields… Is this something I would have to do 
   manually with each one?
 * I also use ‘Import Users from CSV” which supports xprofiles, if importing using
   the WP user headers ‘first_name’ and ‘last_name’ will these also populate the
   new xprofile fields?
 * Also curious if I go ALL IN with this plugin, should it ever become discontinued,
   does this data get lost?
 * Sorry for all questions! 🙂
 * Dan

 * Hi,
    unfortunately this plugin is still in development. It could be pretty nice
   to implement a tool to sync existing profiles, maybe I will implement it. Anyway
   I suppose that if you, as administrator, just click update on the backend user
   profile the profile should sync, but would be better to test it safely first 
   on a staging website. 160 users are not so many, you should just press the update
   button 160 times.
 * If the plugin will become discontinued the synced profiles still work but if 
   the buddypress or the wordpress team will decide to modify some used filter or
   action the users could not synce data anymore but I think either options would
   be remote.
