Managing Member Groups

Batch process users into the appropriate groups

Group assignment can happen during the import process; this does not interfere with existing WordPress Users roles.

1. From the Members Area choose Export Members (to generate a csv of your members)
2. Create a separate CSV file with the membership, so all users in MPA2017 would be on the same csv file while another group would be in a different csv file
3. Show the New Member / Import forms
4. In the Import Members section choose the CSV file to import and then check the proper group assignment

Known Issues
