Adding new users in WP 3.9

  • Hi,

    Thanks for a great plugin, we’ve had great use out of it.

    Just upgraded a site using HTTP authentication (v4.5) to WordPress 3.9. Now we cannot add new users via “Dashboard > Users > Add New”

    The error “ERROR: Please enter your password.” is displayed at the top of the add new user screen.

    Disabling the HTTP authentication plugin, creating the user with a WordPress password, then re-enabling the plugin is a workaround.

    TIA

  • I have used this great plugin (v4.5) for over 2 years and it has always performed as expected. I recently updated to WordPress 3.9.2 and have no issues with adding a wp-user through “Dashboard > Users > Add New”. Perhaps sokratesagogo and my HTTP Authentication settings are different. Mine are set as follows:
    Allow WordPress Authentiation = no
    Automatically create accounts = yes
    Although I usually let HTTP Auth create new users, I occasionally add new wp-users from the admin panel, without problems.

    Thanks @willywonder, I’ll double check my own site.
