Retaining user ID when importing

[ad_1]

With this plugin you will not be able to keep the user IDs from your previous installation. The user table has an autoincremental on the primary key and we use API functions that do not allow SQL calls to achieve what you are asking.

To achieve this you will have to directly use a SQL dump of the user and usermeta tables. But do it carefully.

Many thanks for your quick response.

I’m quite familiar with SQL and feel quite confident, although it would be helpful if you could give me a push in the right direction? Any documentation or anything you recommend? Don’t worry, I have full backups, I wont blame you if anything goes wrong 😉

Thanks.
