Description
UserElements Member Export for Ultimate Member helps you move member data in and out of WordPress without spreadsheets of raw meta keys or one-off SQL exports.
Built as an add-on for Ultimate Member, it adds Export, Import, and Export Storage screens under the Ultimate Member admin menu. Filter members, choose and reorder columns, preview the file, then download a clean CSV — or bring users back in with a guided import wizard.
What you can do
- Back up member profiles — Download selected Ultimate Member fields as CSV for archives or audits.
- Migrate between sites — Export from one site and import on another with column mapping and dry-run preview.
- Build targeted lists — Filter by role, account status, and registration date, then export only matching members.
- Clean data in Excel or Sheets — Export, edit offline, then re-import with create/update controls.
Export features
- CSV export — Standard UTF-8 CSV that opens in Excel, Google Sheets, Numbers, and similar tools.
- User filters — Narrow by WordPress role, Ultimate Member account status (approved, pending review, awaiting email confirmation, rejected, inactive), and registration date (any time, last 7 / 30 / 90 days, or a custom range).
- Live match count — See how many members match your filters before you export.
- Drag-and-drop column mapper — Search, select, and reorder core fields, profile photo URL, roles, and Ultimate Member custom fields / user meta.
- Readable field values — Select, radio, checkbox, and multiselect options export as human-readable labels from your Ultimate Member forms — not raw option keys.
- Preview — Review the first 25 rows in the admin before downloading.
- Saved presets — Save, load, and delete up to 3 export presets (filters + column layout). Suggested starters: All members / Approved members.
- Export row limit — Free exports up to 2,000 members per download.
- Step-by-step flow — Target & filters Columns Output, with clear progress through each step.
Import features
- CSV import wizard — Three steps: upload map columns preview & run.
- Create or update — Upsert existing users, or create-only mode that skips matches.
- Match by email or username — Find existing members before updating.
- Auto column mapping — Headers are matched to WordPress and Ultimate Member fields automatically; refine the map with sample values shown.
- Dry-run preview — See how many rows would be created, updated, or skipped (first 25 rows) before writing to the database.
- Update options — Optionally skip blank CSV cells so empty cells do not overwrite existing profile data.
- Import limit — Free version imports up to 500 data rows per file.
Export storage
- Local disk (default) — Files download in the browser as usual.
- Amazon S3 — Available in UM Export Pro with signed URLs, CDN domain, and connection testing.
Perfect for
- Membership site backups and compliance exports
- Moving members when rebuilding or cloning a site
- Segmenting approved vs pending members for outreach
- Bulk profile cleanup after editing in a spreadsheet
