Access Import Data Tool

1. Log in to your WordPress Admin Dashboard.
2. Go to Memberships > Import.

Important: Before running any import, make sure your website database is backed up. Importing data can overwrite or create records that may be difficult to reverse.

Available import types include:

• Pages – Import WordPress pages.
• Posts – Import WordPress posts.
• Subscriptions – Import member subscriptions.
• Tags – Import WordPress tags.
• Terms – Import taxonomy terms.
• Transactions – Import membership transaction records.
• Users – Import WordPress users.

Upload the CSV File

After selecting the import type:

1. Click Choose File.
2. Browse to and select the appropriate CSV file from your computer.
3. Verify that the CSV file matches the selected import type.
4. Click Upload to begin the import.

Before You Import

To ensure a successful import:

• Back up your website database before importing.
• Verify that your CSV file uses the correct format for the selected import type.
• Import only one data type at a time.
• Large imports may take several minutes to complete depending on your server resources.

Importing for the First Time

If this is your first time using the import tool, review the BuddyBoss Membership Import User Manual before importing your data. The documentation provides formatting requirements and additional guidance for preparing your CSV files.

After the Import

Once the import has completed successfully:

1. Review the imported data in the appropriate BuddyBoss Membership section.
2. Confirm that all records have been imported correctly.
3. Test your memberships, subscriptions, or transactions if they were included in the import.

Imported data is immediately available within BuddyBoss Membership after the import process finishes.
