    ... second user line
    ... and so on ...

username, email, password are required.

A headerline as first line is mandatory!

The header fields must be named as described in the Wordpress API! See here for details: https://developer.wordpress.org/rest-api/reference/users/#create-a-user

Every further line must contain one user according to syntax of header line.

Create an application password in your WP Installation:

1. Go to your wordpress admin (wp-admin)

2. Select the user profile of the admin user you want to use

3. scroll down to "Application Passwords"

4. create a new application password

Call wpuserimporter:

wpuserimporter <csv-file> <wp-url> <username> <password>

<csv-file> : the path to the CSV File you just created (see above)

<wp-url> : the URL of your Wordpress Installation, pointing to the root-folder, no trailing slash (e.g.: https://example.com)

<username> : the admin username (from the profile you used for the application password (see above))

<password> : the application password (see above)

wp-userdeleter

CLI to delete wordpress users by username

Usage

Create a file with users to delete

One username per line, no other content

Create an application password in your WP Installation:

see above (importer)

Call wpuserdeleter:

wpuserdeleter <file> <wp-url> <username> <password>

(details like above (importer))

ATTENTION: Presently the deleter will try to move content of deleted user to user with id 0. If the user didn't create any content it is no problem, otherwise there has to be an user with id 0. Will be optimized in further version.
