Hi, Thanks for asking. As it is stated in the description of the plugin, we do not give support on these comments. So, you would not be expecting some feedback in any short term here. Better post a new issue on the github repository.

Answering to your question: we have built in the repository a branch named MOODLE_405_STABLE which currently supports Moodle 4.5 and Moodle 5.0. But this is only available on the github repository. Later on September we will be publishing that version here on this Moodle plugins directory. You can look for the new code on the github repository or wait for having it available it here later on.

Best,

Jordi

Hi
I hope you are well, it's been ages. Merge Users appears to work on Moodle 5. Could you update the supported extension on your end to Moodle 5 so that it installs automatically each week when we update our Moodle instance? It saves us so much time. Cheers.

Hello,
We are in Moodle 4.4.5 version, and the plugin version for Moodle 4.5 (2025012300) was offered as an update. Unfortunately, this latest version of the plugin blocks the installation of the plugin on Moodle 4.4. Perhaps, the version of moodle required in the plugin is not the good one?
Thank you for this very helpfull plugin !
Best regards

Hello!

After updating to Moodle 4.5.1, the plugin no longer works for us. After clicking on Merge user accounts, the website is no longer displayed correctly.

Best regards

i think the plugin has an issue, i found a specific case.
If an user (eg. user A) has created some custom reports using the "Report builder", the owner id is stored in the field "usercreated" and "usermodified" in the table "mdl_reportbuilder_report".
When merging accounts, from user A to user B, the ownership ID is not being transfered in the table "mdl_reportbuilder_report" to the user B, so the user B can't see the previous reports created by user A.

Hi Miguel Ángel,

Try to set the plugin settings up properly to your need, like Melvyn said with "Thanks Jordi, really it was a settings in the plugin to resolve the quiz attempts and it worked using "Merge attempts from both users and renumber"" or with "Revisit the plugin setting uniquekeynewidtomaintain. If there is a grade already for the user to keep and to remove, this setting will finally keep the grade on the user you want.". Probably the first mentioned setting is what you need to update to merge quiz grades properly to your expectations.

Thanks,

Jordi

I have a problem with the plugin. It allows me to merge, but it does not merge the quiz grades, which is strange, because it has transferred the grades of the assignments given by the teacher. Some indication. Moodle 4.1. and the version of the plugin is the one indicated on the website. Thank you.

Hi Melvyn Gomez,

Thanks for your feedback. I recommend you to follow the instruction on the Description and create an issue on github. It is very benefitial for you and all of us, since you can also spot some other similar issues already filed and add your comments there. On github there is some issue filed of this kind regarding to grades not being merged from time to time. We, in production, with Moodle 4.1, it works as expected. Maybe it is related to some plugin setting that is preventing to produce the result you expect. Revisit the plugin setting uniquekeynewidtomaintain. If there is a grade already for the user to keep and to remove, this setting will finally keep the grade on the user you want.

If you want to follow on this issue, please, go to https://github.com/jpahullo/moodle-tool_mergeusers/issues and look for similar issues and add your comments there.

Thanks again,

Jordi
