XLclick Bulk CSV User Importer is the definitive tool for administrators who need to bulk-create WordPress users from a CSV file. Whether you are migrating a community or setting up a new site, our importer handles the heavy lifting with validation and security.
Tip: build and tidy your CSV with XLclick — the no-formula, no-VBA add-in that cleans and merges Excel data in seconds before you import.
Main features:
- Powerful CSV Upload: Supports standard CSV files with automatic delimiter detection (comma, semicolon, tab).
- Flexible User Data: Import email, role, username, first name, last name, and password.
- Intelligent Defaults: Automatically generates a unique username from the email local-part if the
usernamecolumn is missing or empty. - Advanced Password Support: Use specific passwords from your CSV (min 8 chars) or let the plugin generate secure, cryptographically random passwords automatically.
- Role Security: Strict validation ensures you only assign roles that your account is permitted to grant, preventing privilege escalation.
- Detailed Import Report: Real-time feedback showing how many users were created, skipped (if email already exists), or failed due to invalid data.
- Privacy First: The plugin does not store plain-text passwords and works entirely within your WordPress database.
