How do I export users from WordPress?

`Exporting users from WordPress can be done using plugins or through custom code. Here are two common methods:

Method 1: Using a Plugin
Plugins make the process simple and efficient, even for users with limited technical knowledge.

Recommended Plugin: "Export Users to CSV"
Install the Plugin

Go to your WordPress dashboard.
Navigate to Plugins > Add New.
Search for "Export Users to CSV."
Click Install Now and then Activate.
Export Users

After activating the plugin, go to Users > Export Users to CSV.
Configure the export options as needed (e.g., select user roles, fields to include, etc.).
Click the Export button to download the CSV file containing your user data.
Method 2: Using Custom Code
For more control over the export process, you can use custom code. This method requires access to your WordPress files and some knowledge of PHP.

Step-by-Step Guide
Add Custom Code to Your Theme

Add the following code to your theme’s functions.php file or a custom plugin:
php
Copier le code
function export_users_csv() {
if (isset($_GET['export_users'])) {
$args = array(
'role' => '',
'orderby' => 'user_nicename',
'order' => 'ASC'
);
$users = get_users($args);

    $filename = "users_" . date("Y-m-d_H-i", time()) . ".csv";
    header("Content-Type: text/csv");
    header("Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=$filename");
    header("Pragma: no-cache");
    header("Expires: 0");

    $output = fopen("php://output", "w");

    // Column headers
    fputcsv($output, array('ID', 'Username', 'Email', 'Display Name', 'First Name', 'Last Name'));

    foreach ($users as $user) {
        $user_info = array(
            $user->ID,
            $user->user_login,
            $user->user_email,
            $user->display_name,
            $user->first_name,
            $user->last_name
        );
        fputcsv($output, $user_info);
    }

    fclose($output);
    exit();
}

}

add_action('admin_init', 'export_users_csv');
Trigger the Export

To export the users, add ?export_users=1 to the URL of your WordPress admin dashboard. For example: http://yourwebsite.com/wp-admin/?export_users=1.
This will trigger the export_users_csv function and download a CSV file containing your user data.
Conclusion
Exporting users from WordPress can be done quickly using plugins or custom code. Using the "Export Users to CSV" plugin is the easiest and most user-friendly method, while custom code provides more control and customization options. Choose the method that best suits your needs.

It looks like you broke something when copying this in from a different site. Is it your own article from somewhere else?

Yes, I don't see an option of inserting code here.

There are two editors here, the fancy WYSIWYG one and the Markdown one. I don't know about the fancy one, but here is the documentation for the Markdown DEV uses.
