Hello,
I am a member of wordpress and I find that the development is zero! So I would like to export my 2,500 registered Discourse.
I would like to know how?

There is no good way to do this at the moment, but it has been asked for a few times. The solution would be to create a WordPress import script that works in the same way as the existing Discourse import scripts.

It would need to be done by someone who knows about Discourse development. I will look at it and see if it is something I can easily do.

Also did you checked our [WP Discourse plugin](https://github.com/discourse/wp-discourse)? Which can be used as SSO login provider.

Are your current WP users in bbPress? There is an importer for that:

> I recently did a bbPress database migration successfully using Discourseās inbuilt migration script. Now Iām going to share it as a step-by-step tutorial. Note: This tutorial is for the [bbPress plugin](https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbpress/), not the legacy standalone version of bbPress. What data can be imported? Users (including anonymous users) Categories Topics Posts Private Messages (via BuddyPress) Attachments Permalinks Before starting the migration set a development environment on your machine (or inside a virtual machine)ā¦

I do not use bbpress ! I use
[anspress.io](http://anspress.io)
What interests me is the users of my site!

If you just want to import users you can install bbPress plugin and proceed the migration above. I hope it will work for you.

No. You need a Discourse development environment and to run a ruby script to read the users from the database and create users in Discourse.
To be clear, you want just users and donāt care about your question-and-answer data?
Do you have a budget, or do you want to do this yourself?
Do you care about passwords?
