Tell us what you are trying to do?
I'm trying to move from a member site (html, php, javascript) to a WordPress site with Toolset. I have a few hundred users who have extended profiles. I will have to make a custom post type that is connected to WordPress users. How can I import the members and have a User create for each and populate the user and a related custom Member type?

Is there any documentation that you are following?
None in particular.

Is there a similar example that we can see?
Not that I know of.

What is the link to your site?
Just starting development.

Hi there,

Unfortunately, there is no such tool available in Toolset.

Toolset uses the standard WordPress User Meta model to store the user's extra information as a user custom field. So maybe if you can find a plugin that can export User Meta you will have a chance to do that.

But we have never tested such a thing and do not know if third-party plugins will be able to connect that user meta later to the member types that you have mentioned.

Thanks.
