I just converted from smf => Phpbb => bbpress, and the passwords aren’t working unless they request for a password reset.
Most members keep mailing to complain about this. I want to just send the whole thing to them once and for all.
In this instance, i would write a script that set a new password for them, and emailed them it. (can/should be done outwith bbPress).
In the email i’d tell them why they are getting it, and suggest that they log in and choose a new one.
It’s not ideal, but this isn’t really a common siutaiton so i doubt there’s a plugin for it.
How do I go about writing such a script? Can you do this?
Sure! Are you looking for a paid job? Mail me – ashishsainiashfame[at]gmail<dot>com
Else someone with free time might be able to do it.
look at the bulk password reset for wordpress and see if you can adapt it
I shared my user table with a wordpress in order to use the “bulk password reset” for wordpress
