Import members who don't have an account

Here’s my situation. I recently redesigned a site that was using S2Member. While I was redesigning locally, the database got out of date as new users kept signing up on the old site.

I stupidly didn’t realize it early enough, so now the new site is missing some users that have signed up recently.

I’d like to export users from the old site and import them into the new site, but I got an error saying that the users didn’t exist (“Line #4. User ID# 100 does NOT belong to an existing User.”)

So what can I do? Am I supposed to import the users another way first, and then run the import script? Is there any guide on this somewhere?

Hi Sasha.

Remove their user IDs, so s2Member creates new accounts instead of trying to modify the specified one.

I hope that helps. :)

I assume you mean remove their IDs form the CSV? I should’ve thought of that… Since the issue was pretty urgent I ended up recreating accounts manually for each subscriber to be sure :(

Oh well, hopefully this thread will help somebody else!

Sorry about that. :/

At least now you know in case you need it again.
