just installed word press and had a look at database and there are varius new tables and one was ws-members now i already have a table with members password etc can the 2 be combined so if you sign up on my web site the same username etc can be used on blog with out having to reg again cheers Doug hope this is the right forum
Make sure your password schema matches. IE: MD5 hash or PASSWORD(blah) Also remove all duplicate user names if any before merging. Make sure you have matching column counts. That should wrap up the minimum requirements to what you are trying to do. not that difficult either.
yea you once you check to make sure no user names conflict then you can do INSERT INTO wp-members (user, password) VALUES (SELECT user, password from othertable) or something similar.
Thanks littlejohn will have to look into that sound a bit complicated for me at the moment but you never know cheers Doug
If the forum & the blog are both still a part of your site, you'll probably have to take this concept 1 step further. The user tables need to be merged into one (matching the schema and merging the data), and *then* the blog or the forum code would have to be updated so they both are pointing to the same table. In this way, when you have someone that registers on the forum, they're automatically registered on the blog (and visa versa).
