User export

I know there are all kinds of issues with user export, but one thing I just noticed is something that I hope can be fixed easily.

When exporting, you need to export 250 at a time (I’d love to see that restriction removed) and you can export starting at a specific number. That number seems to be the database row number, not the user number. The problem with that is that if you delete users over time, there’s no way to figure out where to start exporting from. If I export my users in 250-user chunks, and later go back to export more, I can’t know what number to use to start exports from, if I’ve deleted users during that same period.

I’d just like to suggest you change the number being exported from to be the user ID number, and not the unknowable database row number.

Of course, I’d love to be able to export everything at once, to get the custom fields in their own rows, etc. but this request is simple, and I hope it can be done.

Thanks,

Philip

Hi Philip.

I’ll forward your feature request to Jason. :)

Thanks for the heads up on this thread.

I’ll accept this as a feature request. However, what you’re asking for defies the logic of existing versions of MySQL, the underlying database that powers WordPress. I’ll see what we can do though. Thanks!
