How Merging Works

Applies to: Jamroom 7.0+ Last verified: 2026-10-24
  • Merging sites

    To merge several sites into one, export and import each one in turn: all the files of the first site, then the next. Give each Jamroom export its own Unique Export ID in the Jamroom plugin, and optionally a Merged Tag to tell them apart later.

  • Names and email addresses already on your site

    • Profile and user names that already exist get a number: an imported "paul" becomes "paul 2", then "paul 3", and so on. After 50, the member isn't imported, and the Activity Log says so.
    • An email address that already exists: no new user is created. The existing user is linked to the import, so the member's imported items belong to them.
    • A member without an email address gets a profile only, linked to the first master admin.

    The Activity Log lists the members imported and any problems; most entries start with Importer member:.
