Joomla user to wordpress

  • Hi

    I have used Joomla for a long time and now I’m sick, just sick as the CMS is kind of bloated. I’ve tested wordpress back 3 years back, however I don’t delve into it deep then. Now with the release of 2.7 and the news about 2.8, I have taken my time to check the CMS and a few sites and it’s really neat! Just neat and you can customize it lots with the plugins where every plugin is opensouce. I love the idea and I’m thinking(really into porting site to WordPress )

    I’ve tried the port script , yet that ports only the contents, what I want to do now is to port the users. If I could do that then I’m the most happy men! I’ve googled it a bit and there seems to be no way to port the users.

    Can someone enlighten me on how to port the users? I really don’t mind if I have to go to say for example Joomla to another CMS and another CMS to wordpress to port the users… if I can still achieve what I wanted.. I’m still okay with that..

    The other option would be port the user to wordpress where the user will be prompted to change their password on their next login.

    Thanks in advance.

  • Yeah man, no problem. I’m new to wordpress and I’m trying to figure out what hook I should use to overwrite just the wp_check_password function.

    I’ve tried using:
    add_filter(‘check_password’, ‘joomla_check_password’, 3);

    But evidently this hook is actually right after the wp_check_password function is called. The only filter I can find right before the function is called is the authenticate filter, which would mean that I need to overwrite the wp_authenticate_username_password function as well. Am I correct in saying this or is there a way to overwrite just the wp_check_password function?
