Migrate UM Users

    Hi Support-Team,

    I am in the process of relaunching a U-Member site.

    The existing site is running U-Member version 2.3.1, WP 5.9.5 and several other plugins that haven’t been updated recently.

    The staging site in current development has latest versions of WP, Theme and all plugins.

    Additionally I have several custom fields, defined in the UM registration form that need to be migrated correctly.

    Finally, I need to make sure that user IDs remain unchanged, as I am using these to identify users in an external database/application connected via JWT token.

    Migration should be smooth and transparent with no interaction needed by users.

    I found this info in the docs https://docs.ultimatemember.com/article/1549-export-import

    The warning here, stating that third party plugins shouldn’t be used and the recommendation to export/import the entire database (not an option here!!!) doesn’t really sound very reassuring.

    Any recommendations on how to accomplish this feat without growing too many grey hairs?

    Best regards, Hagbard

    Hello @celinehag

    Please try exporting users with all of the metadata and make sure you also upload wp-contents/uploads/ultimatemember directory to new server as these plugins will not be able to import and export profile photo and cover photo.

    I suggest you give it a try and see if everything works for your setup. You can always look for alternatives if you find out that there is something wrong.

    OK, thanks for your reply. Will go with https://wordpress.org/plugins/import-users-from-csv-with-meta/ for starters and see how it goes.

    Hello @aswingiri

    I managed to export users including all meta data with the pro version of said plugin.

    Seems to work fine, even retain user_id is not a problem.

    One thing I’m still struggling with and hoping you can point me in the right direction:

    When users register on my UM site, they do this using the default registration form.

    This form has a unique id which is referenced in wp_usermeta table for each user who has registered on my source site using meta_key ‘form_id’ and inside the meta_key ‘submitted’ array.

    UM adds a quick link “Info” to the wp user admin screen.

    Since the registration form id between source and destination differ, there is a mismatch and subsequently the information when clicking “Info” on user admin screen is no longer there. All that is displayed is the registration Date and the form id of the source system.

    I tried changing the values in wp_usermeta in the database using phpMyAdmin, but this only has the effect that the “Info” Quick Link in wp user admin disappears altogether.

    Any idea on how to get this working? Maybe some function to update registration form ids for all users.

    Thanks for helping out.
