For now we will use Username and Email fields to have same values in CSV file. * Thank you. - This reply was modified 5 years, 6 months ago by [nasko7](https://wordpress.org/support/users/nasko7/). * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[Import and export users and customers] Showing a password but not updating a password](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/showing-a-password-but-not-updating-a-password/) * [nasko7](https://wordpress.org/support/users/nasko7/) * (@nasko7) * [5 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/showing-a-password-but-not-updating-a-password/#post-13744869) * Hi Crios, * when importing CSV file: the new users are created, password is generated/or provided from CSV Data – the email is sent. * When updating old users, if you check * Do you wish to send this mail also to users that are being updated? – CHECK They will receive same email as the new users. With random generated password or CSV data provided. Because you checked* Never update passwords – NEVER UPDATE PASSWORDS… This password will not be updated. That’s why you can still can login with the old password, but receive email with new password. * Solutions: * Option 1) DONT SEND EMAILS TO UPDATED USERS * Do you wish to send this mail also to users that are being updated? – UN-CHECK * Option 2) the plugin author to make separate template in the Plugin settings for Updated User. We will have 2 email templates (1 for creating new users, 2 for updating old users) * I am using Option 1 now, but will be good to have separate emails and to send separate messages to our users. * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[Import and export users and customers] Issues with duplicated usernames / overwriting accounts](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/issues-with-duplicated-usernames-overwriting-accounts/) * Thread Starter [nasko7](https://wordpress.org/support/users/nasko7/) * (@nasko7) * [5 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/issues-with-duplicated-usernames-overwriting-accounts/#post-13744802) * Yes, that will solve our problem. * You identify which user is new or old by username, not by email. You can make option to choose which field to be leading/primary (username or email) in comparing process. I know it’s a lot of refactoring but you can make more flexible the process of updating users. If email is unique we just will override the email and will update other fields. * For now, the way you offered is okay. Let it be suffix ‘duplicated_username’ + ‘_3013’. * Which PayPal account do you want to donate Arbimportusers@gm… Or imalrod ? * Thanks * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[Import and export users and customers] Issues with duplicated usernames / overwriting accounts](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/issues-with-duplicated-usernames-overwriting-accounts/) * Thread Starter [nasko7](https://wordpress.org/support/users/nasko7/) * (@nasko7) * [5 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/issues-with-duplicated-usernames-overwriting-accounts/#post-13736653) * Yes but by mistake, the admin can mess up, some accounts and he will not understand what happened. Yes he is responsible, he has the admin rights. * How should this checkbox “allow updating emails of users by their username” work? * if I click disallow, 1) is it going to add the duplicated username CSV row as a new user – with prefixed username? OR 2) it will be skipped? * We import different CSV files with different companies’ list of employees. The unique person is identified by his working email. * Thanks. * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[Import and export users and customers] Update existing users without reseting passwords](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/update-existing-users-without-reseting-passwords/) * Thread Starter [nasko7](https://wordpress.org/support/users/nasko7/) * (@nasko7) * [5 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/update-existing-users-without-reseting-passwords/#post-13734605) * Thanks, it works perfectly. * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[Import and export users and customers] Update existing users without reseting passwords](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/update-existing-users-without-reseting-passwords/) * Thread Starter [nasko7](https://wordpress.org/support/users/nasko7/) * (@nasko7) * [5 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/update-existing-users-without-reseting-passwords/#post-13674943) * Yes, “Never update passwords” sounds good name for this option. * Thanks. - This reply was modified 5 years, 6 months ago by [nasko7](https://wordpress.org/support/users/nasko7/). * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[Import and export users and customers] Update existing users without reseting passwords](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/update-existing-users-without-reseting-passwords/) * Thread Starter [nasko7](https://wordpress.org/support/users/nasko7/) * (@nasko7) * [5 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/update-existing-users-without-reseting-passwords/#post-13674538) * Thanks for the fast response. I want to use single CSV file for creating and updating users. I don’t want to edit CSV file and to change fields, or to have 2 different files 1st for creating and 2nd for updating. * I think it’s good feature the plugin to manage this. * This is my CSV I have 3 columns * Username, Email, subscription_date test, [test@test.com](https://wordpress.org/support/users/nasko7/replies/test@test.com?output_format=md), 2021-12-10 * I want to use the same file for bulk register/update users. – Register will add new user and create random password – Update only will update their subscription_date meta field. * Thanks.
