How to export and import BuddyPress data

WooCommerce Users Import Export plugin allows you to easily import and export the BuddyPress plugin. Insert the code snippet in the active theme’s functions.php file to achieve compatibility with the BuddyPress data.

Therefore, additional columns related to BuddyPress data will be appended in the exported CSV. Likewise, you can import BuddyPress data by mapping concerned values.

I’ve added the snippet to my functions file. Still, when I go to import, none of the “bp_xprofile:” fields are listed in the mapping step. I cannot get them to appear.
What am I missing?

  Hi,
  Please make sure that you use the default column header names for the BuddyPress column instead of the custom header names.

  Hi,
  If you are using any third-party plugin to create custom data fields for the users then it will be stored as metadata. You may please export a sample user with the option Hidden meta checked in the export mapping and the custom metadata fields will be included in the exported CSV. Later on, you can use the same exported CSV as a template to import data back.

Will you guys be releasing an updated version of this snippet for the BuddyBoss platform? Would be very helpful and I doubt it will be too much work as BuddyBoss is just a fork of BuddyPress.

  Hi,
  If the custom data of the Buddyboss platform is stored with the user details in the database then it can be exported and import using the plugin. If it’s stored in a separate table then it cannot be exported and imported.

I’m seeing the headers on the export, but they don’t appear to be available for mapping on an import.
Something missing for the import ability of the bp_xprofile field mapping?

  Hi,
  Even if the fields are not shown on the import mapping screen it will be imported to the user details. Please go ahead and import.

Hey,
To ask about the outcome rather than how – does the buddy press data export feature allow you to export buddypress members who have included their postal address, to a csv file? I want to link data base to maps api to display user locations on website.
Will that work?

  Hi,
  Yes, the address details of the BuddyPress users can be exported using the plugin and the code snippet copied. If you still have any queries regarding exporting the Buddypress details then please reach us via support.

  Hi Justin,
  The BuddyPress data fields will be exported under the columns with header name bp_xprofile. eg: bp_xprofile:Name, bp_xprofile:Last Name, bp_xprofile:Country,…etc.
  If you are having any issue with exporting the BuddyPress data then please reach us via support.
