    It’s not exactly an override, but you can work this out in a different way. You can either remove all groups from users through the Users list, or after updating them via the import file, go to Users and then remove those groups that you don’t need anymore.

    Hi Sarvesh,

    Yes that’s correct, because in this case you are updating your existing users so the existing user records will be updated according to the new data mapped for them.

      Is there any way to override them?

    Hi Sarvesh,

    Thanks for sharing the import files and the debug.log.
    In your debug.log, the error and warnings you get are pretty weird and normally shouldn’t occur. As per my initial assumption, it looks as if the user data types are altered and instead of the expected string type, an array is given. This in turn seems to be breaking the export functionality later on, producing the error you get.

    Also, testing the import and export feature using a part of your codebeautify.tsv file ( the csv file version is not compatible ), gives no errors. The import-export-import processes are all successful, importing two entries then exporting them, deleting them and finally re-importing them using the new export file.
    BTW, the file you shared has more than 400 entries, even more than 4000 entries, but the import process can be run either with several smaller files as you did. Alternatively, you can import the single file several times, just make sure to enable the option to Suppress warnings, as mentioned in the Import Users page.

    However, in case I’m missing something obvious, I think it’s better to have another look at the whole process only this time right on your site. I would like you to provide us with temp admin access to a staging clone where we can test the functionality with your setup. Once you have prepared the clone site, make sure to enable WP debugging and then share temp admin credentials using my personal email address, george at itthinx dot com.

    Regarding wpallimport, I’m not sure if their features support the data added by Groups plugin, but if you drop them a question, I think they will help you further on this matter.

    Kind regards,
    George

      Hi George,

      Thanks for the inputs, I tried to clear the customer list and updated it with clean information its working now.

      But the problem is if try to import the groups file with new groups assigned to the customer, the previous groups are not overriding with new groups they are appending to the old groups of the customer.

      Thanks

    Is there any way I can use wpallimport/wpallexport?

    Hi Sarvesh,

    Welcome to our support forum for Groups Import Export plugin and many thanks for using our tool on your site.

    Can you please repeat both actions only this time after enabling WP debugging? The debug.log file located under wp-content folder should shed some more light on this situation.
    Even though the first issue you have is obvious at this stage, it is possible that even the web server is timing out. As for the second one looks more like a networking issue, but for both cases there should be additional hints in the debug.log and also in your server logs.

    Once you obtain a copy you can share them with me using a file hosting service or directly send them to george at itthinx dot com. For the latter make sure to use this topic’s title as the subject.

    Kind regards,
    George

      Hi George,

      thanks for the reply. Please see the below URl to download the required files. I added the CSV file I am uploading and the file which is converted into TSV as well.

      For time out I chucked the data into different files and uploaded it.
