    I imported the darn zip code field without the leading zero, is there a way to import over existing entries, what fields would be required? Can I import first name, last name, zip code, or is this a manual fix now?

    Thanks, awesome plugin, totally my fault!

    Sorry, yes, it’s a manual fix now.

    Ok no problem, thanks for responding so quickly. I tried it out on my testing server and realized as much.

    I did it by hand, but just out of curiosity, what do you think would have happened if I deleted all of the entries, and then re-uploaded- would the user account links all have been broken? Would I have had to create all new user accounts too, or would deleting the connections entries have been enough to allow me to reestablish the link when I uploaded the corrected list of entries?

    Yes, if you’re using Link, all the links would be broken and not likely to be relinked because there is a safeguard in place that attempts to block hijacking.
