Importing Users from Vanilla into Wordpress 2.7

noyz319

Hi, I am trying to import users from an existing install of Vanilla into and existing install of Wordpress 2.7. I have manually imported all 1000+ users and everything looks in order except for the user_pass field in the wp_users table uses a different sort of encryption so the existing vanilla user's passwords do not work when logging into wordpress. The exisitng Wordpress users have user_pass fields that all look kinda like this: $P$5FxI4fyui3vAxqRjGFJfzEe6dPT8Pu1 While the user_pass field for users imported from Vanilla all look kinda like this: 0x245024396939512e44366d6363324a546c6d6f73384f2e4441343841733248425231 Is there some way to convert the encryption of the Vanilla user's passwords to match what Wordpress 2.7 uses? Or is there a way in wordpress to just reset the passwords for all of the users and email them to the users? Any help would be much appreciated!

There is no way for the password encryption to be changed automatically. You will have to somehow reset it from within Wordpress.

Those interested can follow your discussion here: Wordpress Support » Reset Password for all users?

What about changing the encryption before merging the database with wordpress, would that be possible?

There is no way to change it without knowing everyone's password.
