About the “Add Multiple Users” plugin
The “Add Multiple Users” plugin is a very
useful plugin for Wordpress admins as it
allows the creation of multiple user accounts
on a blog.
There are lots of ways to use the plugin but
this tutorial covers how to create new user
accounts through the import of .csv files.

create a .csv file with the following headings:

Fill in the data
Fill in the spreadsheet and save as a .csv file
Notes:
1. Username must not include surnames and we suggest you use year of exit to group users by year;
2. Passwords should be age appropriate and should be individual;
3. Display name is how you want the author’s name displayed on the blog;
4. Emails must be unique but can be dummies. We suggest you use a combination of username and the
school’s blog domain, e.g. 14johns@myschoolblogs.net
5. Use “contributor” as the role assuming you want all blog posts to be moderated.
