    OK, well this (or I) might seem dumb, but perhaps people should be aware that when you import MT users, WordPress capitalizes the initial letter of the MT named users.
    Obvously as logins are case sensitive you need to adapt to that – so ‘frank’ in MT becomes ‘Frank’ in WP.
    Annoying, but now I know and I can log in.

    So I haven’t managed to solve this yet, so I was wondering, should I try deleting the passwords of the two named users using the method described here so I can at least log in as them?
    Or is that a bit drastic?
    Any advice greatly appreciated.
    cheers.

    First off, let me just say that the comments in the code are excellent and make life a lot easier for non PHP & HTML experts like me.
    But I guess the one thing that confused me was that the comments said that the MT usernames would appear in the code in italics (at least that’s how I read it), but in my case that did not appear to happen – there were no user names in my code (indeed I thought it would be odd that they would appear in code).
    To answer the specific questions:
    1) WordPRess created the new authors corresponding to the existing MT authors when you did the import?
    Yes, it picked up ther two authors, including email addresses fine. So I have 3 authors; site admin plus the two named MT users.
    2) Whether the password ‘changeme’ worked when you tried to log in as the newly created user?
    No, it did not (incidentally, I have deleted all cookies associated with the site in case that was screwing things up)
    cheers
