In this tutorial, we will show you how to export WordPress users data to Google Sheets. With a few clicks, we will connect our WordPress site to our Google account.
We won’t need to use any browser extensions, so you can export users directly to Google Sheets using any browser (Chrome, Edge, Mozilla, Brave, Safari, etc.).
Since you don’t need extensions or scripts, you can export and import user profiles from the WordPress dashboard.
What you need to export users to a Google spreadsheet
For this tutorial, we will use two essential elements:
1. The WP Sheet Editor – WordPress Users plugin. This plugin allows you to view and manage WordPress users in an intuitive spreadsheet. You can run advanced searches, apply bulk changes, export, and import user profiles.
You can download the plugin here:

2. The Google Sheets Sync service. This service allows you to connect your WordPress site to your Google account to easily export and import content. It works with all WP Sheet Editor spreadsheets running in the backend, so you can export and import posts, pages, products, orders, coupons, customers, users, members, events, courses, downloads, etc.
You can sign up to the service here:

When you sign up to the Google Sheets Sync service, you will receive a plugin helper that will allow you to connect your WordPress site to your Google account from any WP Sheet Editor spreadsheet.
You can follow this guide to do so.
Steps to export WordPress users data to Google Sheets
To export your WordPress users to Google Sheets, you need to follow these steps, which include connecting your WordPress site to Google, exporting the users data to Google Sheets, and viewing your users information in a Google spreadsheet:
Step 1. Connect WordPress with Google Sheets
You need to start by opening the WordPress users spreadsheet by going to WP Sheet Editor > Edit Users.
You’ll see all your users information in a spreadsheet, where every row is a user profile and every column is a column.
As you will see in this guide, you can connect your WordPress site to your Google account, the Google API and the WP Sheet Editor API.
Step 2. Select the users you will export
WP Sheet Editor allows you to export all users, all users from a search results, or all manually selected users.
a) Export all users
To export all your users to Google Sheets, you just have to the Export tool and go to Step 3 of this tutorial.
b) Search users and export search results
WP Sheet Editor has a Search tool that allows you to run advanced searches to export specific user groups.
In this example, we will show you how to search for users by user role in order to export WordPress subscribers only. However, you can search for users using any field as a search filter: email, email company, first name, last name, city, country, state, etc.
Start by opening the Search tool:
On the Search tool, you need to select the Subscriber value in the Role dropdown and click on Run search.
Now you’ll see all the search results that match the search filters displayed in the spreadsheet. You’ll also see the search filters above the spreadsheet.
Finally, you need to click the Export tool and go to Step 3 of this tutorial.
c) Select specific users to export them to Google Sheets
Whether you apply any search filters or not, you can select specific user profiles to export them to Google Sheets.
For this, you just need to use the checkbox picker on the left side of the spreadsheet, and select every row you want to export.
Once you select the users you want to export, open the Export tool and go to Step 3 of this tutorial.
Step 3. Export your WordPress users data to Google Sheets
You need to do this to export all your WordPress user profiles to Google Sheets:
- Select the columns / fields you want to export. You can export all columns, all active columns, or specific columns only.
- Select the rows you want to export. In this case, we will export all the rows, but you can export all the search results or all the manually selected rows.
- Select the Google Sheets app.
- Add a name for this export. The new Google Sheet will inherit this name.
- Click on Start new export.
Step 4. View your users in a Google Spreadsheet
Once the Google Sheet is created on your Google account, you will see a “View Google Sheet” link to open it.
