## Description

AEIOU is a powerfull plugin that export all WordPress users info into an XML file
including user settings and options
 and allow you to import the same data file 
into a new WordPress keeping all user informations about the users including the
Buddypress XProfile data of each user.

#### Dependencies

AEIOU requires SimpleXML PHP library to import data.
 Nothing more than wordpress
is required for the export.

## Installation

 1. Install AEIOU either via the WordPress.org plugin directory, or by uploading the
    files to your server
 2. That’s it. You’re ready to export/import users!

## FAQ

It’s too simple to do what the plugin does… However, have you got a question? Please
ask us on forum.

  Why my imported XProfile fields becomes all of text type?

This is because the importer does not keep any information about the field except
than Field Name, Field Group and Field Value.
 Any other information is left behind.
So the better way to make an import that grant the exact structure for xprofile 
field is to create the XProfile Fields on the new WordPress instance before the 
import is done then make the import.

  Why the user are unable to login after I done the Import?

If you have imported the password field too then It was changed and you have to 
ensure that the same secret key is used in both old and new wordpress.
