passwords

HI
I am trying to import 700 or so existing members into a new site w/S2 members with custom fields for their addresses, etc. The old site used just a very basic system….all members had the same username and password to access a member area.

So i am trying to figure out the best way to do this! SO far – no one has registered through paypal yet because the site isn’t live – but how do i get the existing members into their already imported user accounts??

could you suggest the best way to be able to login for the first time and have it be associated with the already imported info?

thanks very much!

Hi Lisa,

I’m not sure what you mean by “how do i get the existing members into their already imported user accounts??” If the accounts are already imported, then what are you trying to import?

You should be able to use the s2Member Import/Export feature for this task (Dashboard -› s2Member® -› Import/Export). If you want to mass-update existing accounts, you can simply run the export, edit the export file, then import that file — all the accounts will be updated.

Please see Knowledge Base » How to Migrate to s2Member Pro from Other Software for more information.
