Hi, While I was integrating vbulletin with wordpress, i changed the user id of myself and my co-admin temperarily as our wordpress user ids didnt match up with vbulletin (i registered second on the blog but am the first user in vbulletin). Instead of entering 30/50, etc, i just put loads of 2's, eg 22222 till i changed my co-admins id to 2 then mine to 1 (and back again as it didnt help :|). Anyway, the problem now is, when someone new registers, they're given the user id of 22223 etc instead of 30 or 40, whatever it should be. The problem with that is, when they register they dont get the confirmation email with a password and the new user registration email, shows their email address and username as blank. Also, from within the wordpress admin cp, on the users list, they show up as blank and if i try to edit them, it gives them a user id of 0 and tells me the id doesn't exist. I've found a work around but, it's not a solution. In phpmyadmin, it shows me their username/email etc, as well as the 5 digit user id. If i change it manually to what it should be they then show up properly in the wordpress users list and can receive a password/become an author/contributer etc, as it should be. So, my question is, how can i get wordpress to recognise such a high user id or, how can i make the database assign user ids starting from 50 onwards, instead of 22250 (or whatever it is now) onwards? I'm assuming a SQL query would fix it but, I haven't been able to find anyone who's had a similar problem, let alone any help.
You would probably be better served in the V-Bulletin forum. I have 2 installations like that, but don't have those issues. I also installed them together.
I forgot to say, i disabled the vbbridge a while ago. Thats why i changed the user ids but, its not enabled any more. I've actually found how to do it as well. Found it through non wordpress specific code . Just had to change the auto_increment start value from 222246, to 100 with a sql query. Now i'm gonna go post on my blog how to do it .
Glad you found a solution and also a good example for people who are always asking "What should I blog about?"....there it is people... blog what you know.
