    Hey everyone,

    I just purchases Amember and the WordPress plugin.

    I'm wondering if it's possible to integrate the user databases for the two, or how this typically works?

    In other words, I have roughly 300 members on my WordPress database and now I would like to switch to the protected Amember model.

    How do I make the usernames and passwords backwards compatible?

    What's the best way to transition and what are the tradeoffs?

    Since your wordpress passwords are encrypted you cant transfer them into amember.

    You need to do an import the members into amember and create a new password for them- and then mail them the password.

    hello
    i'm new here ..... need to asking about wordpress plugins ...

    very confusing at this part :
    WordPress Board Db and Prefix
    database name (if other database) plus WordPress
    tables prefix, like wordpress.wordpress_
    here WordPress database is wordpress and tables prefix is wordpress_
    after change click SAVE twice

    when i put WP database name .... it gave me this error

    DB - [db_b] - incorrect value. Error: Table 'db_b.db_busers' doesn't exist

    i use different database for amembers and wordpress .....
