Coming from Mighty
Your Mighty export, column by column
On the Launch plan or higher, Mighty lets hosts download the network member list, each Space member list and each Plan member list as Excel files. This is where each column goes on WordPress.
Imports into WordPress
-
In the export: First name, last name, email
On WordPress: WordPress user accounts
A user import plugin creates the accounts. Passwords are not in the export, so members set a new one from their welcome email.
-
In the export: Short bio, city, state, country, custom field answers
On WordPress: BuddyPress profile fields
Create matching fields first, then map the columns at import. Profile Pro adds repeatable field groups.
-
