Integrating existing MailChimp list

I set up the integration of mailing list for MailChimp and s2member but it states that "New Free Subscribers will be subscribed to these List IDs", but i would like to give free subscriber level 0 access to the list of EXISTING MailChimp subscribers. Is there a simple way or do i need to do that one by one manually?

What do you mean by that? Add Level 0 members to the MailChimp list you already have?

Where? In MailChimp directly? I thought i would need to IMPORT the list somehow into WP or s2Member?

Oh, then what you mean is that you have a list in MailChimp and you want to add these subscribers as free members into WordPress?

You could use s2Member Pro's Import feature. WP Admin -> s2Member -> Import / Export -> User/Member Import Files

The default WordPress installation doesn't have an import feature. :|

I searched some more to help you and found that there are some plugins over at WordPress.org that can import users. https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/se ... mport+user

I recommend s2Member Pro's import feature because it's designed to work specifically with s2Member installations and we can give support for it.

I don't know the other ones and can't give support for them, though. But at least you have a choice now.

Let me know if that helps. :)
