Converting form entries to website users

Labels

I am the webmaster for a non-profit, and we have been using Formidable Forms (FF) for some time to gather user data; however, the website does use a login for user management. As such, the "users", as they exist, are just entries within this form. However, the number is significant, at over 13,000 such users.

I would like to convert the users in this FF form to actual users on our website that uses a login. Is that possible? I see the FF has a user management forms, but am wondering how that will work with the WordPress user database.

Thanks,

Rick

The registration add-on is the best choice going forward. It can creates user accounts for people when the form saves.

If you want to scan through existing form entries and create users from that data, you would have to export the data and massage it to make certain there are no duplicates, then create a custom PHP function to scan the file and create the user ids. It would be a bit of a chore, but do-able.
