Hello, I imported some users into my database. I have all of the permissions set, I have tried mapping users, flushing cache, etc.
Simple press is not recognizing the imported users.
My general user table in wordpress shows the right number of members, but simple press does not.
Any help is appreciated..

The important question here is how the data was imported. To be non-techie for a moment, WordPress works with plugins by what are known as hooks. Think of these as a messaging system. When a new user registers on the website, WordPress broadcasts a 'message' and any plugin that needs to know about this event is listening our for it so that it can act accordingly.
Simple:Press is one such plugin. When we get the message about a new user, we create special forum members data and this includes placing the new user in their appropriate forum user group.
So - as I say, it depends how the data was 'imported'. If it bypassed the actual WordPress code, then the message was not sent and the actions were not taken. So - how was the data imported?

Thanks. I imported them into my wpuser table into the database. They were users from a test simple press forum I had on another site before I had the actual forum set up. I exported them from the test site database and imported them into the actual forum database. They show up as regular wp users, but not in the simple press user table.

So that s why they don't show up. If they have retained the same user ID then you could import the data from the sfmembers table as well. But it is probably better now to wait. Actually you would need more than just that which we could work out for you if needed
The good news is that when these people try and access the forum then the relevant data will be created for them. Does that help?
