    I am trying to import users. I have WordPress-style hashed passwords for them but they are being changed (re-hashed?) on import. The Sample Data shows a correct value and, if I paste a password directly in the database it works. All other fields seem to be OK but the passwords are not.

    It seems that passwords are always re-hashed on import.

    A way round it is to do a direct import of basic user information including passwords to the wp_users table using phpMyAdmin or similar (column names eg:
    user_login,user_pass,user_nicename,user_email,user_registered,user_status,display_name)
    and then use the User Meta Import to add extra fields, including First Name, Last Name and Role afterwards.

    Hello,

    You can use alternate approach, Import users by UMP importer with their password. UMP will rehash the password. But you can add some bit of code to update raw password directly to wp_users table.

    If you are using 1.1.3rc2, open user-meta/controllers/pro/umExportImportController.php
    and add following codes between line 273 and 274


    global $wpdb;
    $wpdb->update( $wpdb->users, array('user_pass'=>$response->user_pass), array('ID'=>$response->ID) );

    Thanks.

    Thank you,

    I have just had a go at that but the passwords were still hashed.
    In Import dialogue:
    CSV Header: user_pass, Assigning Field: Password, Sample Data: $P$BOFT58J5HzGSJ.ZCcd/IpeNDOCF7Qn/
    In umExportImportController.php

    if( !is_wp_error( $response ) ){
    global $wpdb;
    $wpdb->update( $wpdb->users, array('user_pass'=>$response->user_pass), array('ID'=>$response->ID) );
    if( isset( $_POST['send_email'] ) )

    This is a hack to the core code so would be lost on updating the plugin, so I would probably only used it as a one-off method anyway?
