 * I’m having trouble logging in with user data from another database. I know the
   tables and fields are correct that I used. I tested it out with a simple php 
   MySQL query to get info from the fields.
    Password encryption is SHA1.
 * Here you can see System Info from the CMS I want to connect it with: [http://www.molekul.ee/emma/excternal_db.png](http://www.molekul.ee/emma/excternal_db.png)
 * I’m using WordPress 4.1 and the plugin version 1.1.

 * found out why I couldn’t log in. The other CMS saves password by adding username
   in front of it.
 * Is it possible to change the plugin to check external DB password as username
   +password entered when logging in? (so site visitor doesn’t have to enter that
   itself like this)
 * Also another question, is it possible to allow registration on site? The two 
   db-s don’t have to sync… Idea is to let external db users log in to WP site but
   not vice versa.

 * It would depend on the encryption method you are using.

 * Thanks. It was my problem. The password used salt so I had to use Other as encryption
   method.
