    actually I do a mysql connect to the mysql server with

    – servername (localhost)
    – user
    – password

    and then I use this connection through the whole plugin.

    I switch between the databases with a mysql_select_db function.

    So it should be the mysql server root user – not the db admin user.

    there is not planned to change it.

    maybe I add the support for different mysql server – if the db’s are on different mysql servers, then the user will be stored too for each connection.

    Thank you Christian,
    yes, if you have a mysql server root user, like in local or in VPS or dedicated server, this could be enough, but mostly part of cms like joomla or WordPress are hosted by shared hostings and these often have one user per db.
    Anyway, for a workaround simply upload a dump of joomla’s db in WP’s db and, after importation, delete joomla tables.
    All works, but I continue to say that to insert two users, one per db, could be useful.
    Anyway, thanks a lot for this plugin

    with version 1.5.1 the user can set for each cms installation a mysql server and user.
