Import users from a CSV into WordPress

== Description ==

This plugin allows you to import users from an uploaded CSV file. It will add users with basic information as well as meta fields and user role.

You can also choose to send a notification to the new users and to display password nag on user login.

== Frequently Asked Questions ==

= How to use? =

Click on the 'Import From CSV' link in the 'Users' menu, choose your CSV file, choose if you want to send a notification email to new users and if you want the password nag to be displayed when they login, then click 'Import'.

Each row in your CSV file should represent a user; each column identifies user data or meta data.
If a column name matches a field in the user table, data from this column is imported in that field; if not, data is imported in a user meta field with the name of the column.

Look at the example.csv file in the plugin directory to have a better understanding of how the your CSV file should be organized.
You can try importing that file and look at the result.
