I need to import a mysqldump file (65MB) into a new install of Wordpress and VERY green when it comes to knowledge of MySQL. The file contains approx 350 members of a previous site (not Wordpress) that need to be imported into what will be a new members site on Wordpress (with BuddyPress).
I have been googling and researching and just completely lost so thought I would reach out to the WP community to see if anyone has any 'Import mysqldump files for Dummies' advice or even straight forward articles to point me to.
I started with importing using phpMyAdmin via the Cpanel but the upload limit is 50MB and my file is 65MB and cannot be split.
My other thought is - how much work will be involved after the data is installed to map it to the new site. I haven't yet started building the profile fields for members assuming it might be better to work with what is being imported.
Can anyone help or advise? Thank you!
