An addon for importing existing WordPress users to the Simple Membership plugin as members
Security History
What It Does
Simple Membership WP User Import is an addon for the Simple Membership plugin that lets site owners bulk import existing WordPress user accounts as members. It bridges the gap between a site's standard user database and the Simple Membership system, which otherwise requires manual setup for each member. The plugin is useful during initial migration or when adding legacy users to a membership setup.
Who It's For
This addon is best suited for site owners already running or planning to run the Simple Membership plugin who have a large pre-existing WordPress user base they want to convert into members. It fits membership sites, online course platforms, coaching businesses, and any organization moving existing users from a standard WordPress install into a paid or restricted content model.
Who Should Skip It
If you are not using the Simple Membership plugin, this addon has no value to you, as it relies entirely on that base plugin to function. Sites using alternative membership solutions like Ultimate Member should look for tools compatible with their chosen system instead.
The Bottom Line
Simple Membership WP User Import does one specific job and does it within a narrow ecosystem. With an overall quality score of 69.63/100, a tiny user base, and insufficient rating data, it is a reasonable pick only if you are already committed to Simple Membership and need to bulk onboard existing users. Most site owners will get more value from a fuller membership plugin like Ultimate Member.
Related Plugins
A standalone membership platform with its own user import tools, far better suited if you have not yet committed to Simple Membership.
Handles broader site content imports including users, useful when migrating full site demos rather than membership data specifically.
Helpful for testing and managing user accounts interactively, but does not bulk import or bridge users into a membership system.
Focuses on widget content rather than users, so it is a workflow alternative only when widgets are your main concern.
Relevant only if your membership is tied to WooCommerce orders, providing export and import of related user and order data.
