Changing from Joomla to Wordpress - what happens to users and their password protected pages
Hi,
I would like to move a site from Joomla to Wordpress.
They currently have 750 users and these users have pages that are available to them upon logging in.
So if I transferred the site from Wordpress to Joomla, what would happen to the users and their security settings.
I wouldn't want them logging in from /wp-admin or /wp-login I would want them logging in from a proper login page. And what I need to know is, if they log in (using the same credentials from Joomla) would then then see the password protected pages, or would you have to set up the pages they see using a third party plugin?
I know you can password protect a page in wordpress, but these users all have different passwords, so how would this all work.
Can someone please help me understand what would be the best way to do this?
Thanks

There probably isn't any good way to do that. Joomla and Wordpress are structured entirely differently. What are you hoping to gain by changing from Joomla to Wordpress?

Security.
Can someone tell me, if the users are moved over, would they be able to log in using a plugin like
https://wptavern.com/wordpress-power-menus-plugin-limit-access-to-pages-and-posts
So you have all the users and passwords, can they use these credentials already created from Joomla and log into this plugin and see the menu of pages I want them to see?

or would it be best to create an iframe in a new site to the whole entire joomla site and members login page?
