How to Add Members to FluentCommunity

I just upgraded to the pro license for FLuent Community. I previously used BuddyBoss and i have 500 members within my WP dashboard as members... I need to move these folks into FluentCommunity. How does one do that? I don't have FluentCRM (i was told FluentCRM wasn't necessary to use this fluentCommunity). I'll add it but would like a way to get my members into FluentCommunity

They are working on BuddyBoss migration feature. You might want to wait a bit. See this post for reference.

If they are users on your WP, you can sync with FCRM and add a tag and with automation add them to FCommunity.

Jose Luis DuronΒ Makes me think we should have a HowTo section like the Riadmap section.

You can import all WP Users into your community in one go: https://fluentcommunity.co/docs/fluent-community-integration-with-fluentcrm/
It requires you to sync WP Users to FluentCRM, then you add all FluentCRM contacts to one of the spaces in your community which is when they'll show up as a member.
You will need FluentCRM for this process, but you can remove it after if you're not using any other features. I personally have kept it, even just the free version, so that I can automatically add new registered users to specific spaces within my community by default (ie. the introduce yourself space, an announcements space, and a general discussion space - then they only need to join any additional spaces they're interested in).

Stuart McKelvieΒ Okay.Sounds great. Thank u for this. Will give it a try. I have a space group and the group has 5 spaces. If i add everyone to the private space group, would it give them access to all of the spaces, or would i have to add them to each of the spaces?

Stuart McKelvieΒ I'm struggling with importing members. I was able to import a CSV list with FluentCRM. Then I added them by bulk editting to the different spaces. But they don't show up in the space in my Fluent Community. I don't understand why. I followed the exact instructions.
Btw, is there a way to add them to ALL spaces at once? Also for new members: I don't want to manually add them every time to all spaces.
