• Make sure to export and import users with the same username and email address to avoid conflicts.
• If you have custom user meta data (e.g., user roles, meta fields), you may need to export and import those separately using plugins like User Meta Export and User Meta Import.
• Be cautious when importing users, as it may overwrite existing users on the new site. Make sure to test the import process on a staging site before importing to the live site.
