<p>FE CSV Import & Export helps you import and export WordPress content as CSV from the admin area.<br />
It is designed for site owners who want a stress-free CSV workflow for daily operations and for developers who need extensibility through WordPress hooks.</p>
<h4>Main features:</h4>
<ul>
<li>Import and export WordPress content as CSV</li>
<li>Fast export of approximately 10,000 posts in about 15 seconds (depending on site configuration and server environment)</li>
<li>Support for posts, pages, and custom post types</li>
<li>Option to include or exclude custom taxonomies</li>
<li>Support for term ID or term name input/output</li>
<li>Proper handling of hierarchical terms</li>
<li>Import of unregistered terms (currently uses term name as slug)</li>
<li>Option to include or exclude custom fields</li>
<li>Option to include or exclude private meta</li>
<li>New custom field items can be registered with the “cf_” prefix</li>
<li>Option to target published status or all post statuses</li>
<li>Option to export only frequently edited “basic fields” or “all fields”</li>
<li>Option to update (overwrite) existing posts with the same ID or create new ones</li>
<li>Dry run functionality</li>
<li>Batch processing for large CSV files</li>
<li>Real-time progress display in the admin interface</li>
<li>Option to enable/disable logging (speed priority)</li>
<li>Extensibility through filter/action hooks for custom workflows</li>
</ul>
<h4>FE CSV Import & Export is suitable for tasks such as:</h4>
<ul>
<li>Bulk updating existing posts from spreadsheet data</li>
<li>Exporting content for reporting or external processing</li>
<li>Importing structured content into custom post types</li>
<li>Migrating content between sites</li>
</ul>
<p>For large imports, this plugin processes data in batches to reduce memory usage and improve reliability. It automatically adjusts batch size based on server settings (max_execution_time, memory_limit) to efficiently process large datasets without timeout.</p>
<p>Using filter hooks, you can output only necessary columns for external editing (e.g., title and content only) or add custom processing when exporting ACF (Advanced Custom Fields) related custom fields.</p>
<h4>Note:</h4>
<p>For custom field output, by default, the plugin picks up fields associated with the first post (first row). If the first post does not contain all necessary custom fields, those fields will be ignored. To avoid this, consider these two approaches:</p>
<p><strong>Pattern A</strong><br />
Create a dummy post immediately before export and fill it with dummy values for all necessary custom field items (this ensures all necessary custom field items are expanded as CSV columns)</p>
<p><strong>Pattern B</strong><br />
Use a filter hook to specify a sample post ID for extracting custom field items (by specifying a post ID that contains all custom field items, you ensure all necessary custom field items are expanded as CSV columns)</p>

<h4>Pro Version:</h4>
<p>This plugin works completely on its own with the free version and provides sufficient functionality, but when used with the Pro version, you can access these convenient features:</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>ACF Integration</strong> – Import and export ACF data while preserving field formatting. Export taxonomy values as readable names and handle multi-value fields with pipe-separated values. Support major ACF field types including Taxonomy, User, File, Relationship, Repeater, and Flexible Content fields</li>
<li><strong>Direct SQL Export Mode</strong> – Customize export queries directly for advanced workflows and integrations</li>
<li><strong>UpdraftPlus Database Backup</strong> – When used with the backup plugin ‘UpdraftPlus’, automatic SQL backup is executed during import and import begins after completion. If problems are discovered after import, you can immediately restore from backup</li>
<li><strong>Enhanced Security</strong> – Import/export execution permissions can be assigned to editors in addition to administrators. You can set a shared password for import/export execution. You can require users to enter their login password for import/export execution</li>
<li><strong>Dedicated Support</strong> – Priority customer support from the development team</li>
<li><strong>Automatic Updates</strong> – Seamless updates from our update server</li>
</ul>

Import Users from CSV

It does what it says, easy to use if used to databases. I did use it in an intallation with lots of user meta and it's behaving really nice.
Also the Exporter add on it's working nicely.
Thanks a lot!
