Sheylam96 please see browser console for info
Also how many messages were sent before this? Are you the sender or the receiver of the first message?

      I have an issue in the sense where I grant members the right to start private conversations (so they see the icon), but when they are asked for their password, Shout complains it is incorrect even though it actually is.

      Is this plugin compatible with @clarkwinkelmann WordPress Integration ?

      Seems to work fine for my own account.

      It already works for me, it is fixed by deleting the data from the web in the browser. It can be done from the browser history or from the Inspector, in the Application tab and in the Clear Storage section. It is also recommended to empty the conversations table for it to work correctly

        Doesn't work for me sadly. Cleared browser cache, and there's nothing to clear from the conversations table as it's already empty.

            [deleted] ahh, that's an oversight. Looks like since the authentication is handled by WordPress Flarum won't know their password and it will fail.

            Sheylam96 I would be cautious of giving out advice that you received for this extension. Had another admin cleared the conversations table they would've lost all of their previous conversations, which could cause subtle lasting problems if done improperly. Extreme care must be taken with this extension and editing data.

                  Is there anything we can do to make this work ? Kinda show stopper for me... and I know others make use of the WordPress Integration

                      [deleted] there's always options! Tomorrow I'll see about adding the option to have users make their own passwords (can be the same or different from login). In the future I'll see about working with Clark to get a full integration if possible.

                          Loving the attitude ! Thanks

                          I suppose one other way round this is for @clarkwinkelmann extension to pass a hashed version of the password to the Flarum user's table, then there would be something for Shout to compare against ? Failing that (if I knew what was being used to hash passwords) then I could manually update the DB with that value ?

                          @clarkwinkelmann any thoughts on this please ?

                              [deleted] that would work except that WordPress uses different hashing IIRC. I also don't like sending even the hashes across security wise.

                              The easiest and most secure solution is to probably to just let the user make their own password.

                                  Kyrne Understood, but you're not really sending them across as such as the DB and website are on the same server. Do you happen to know how flarum hashes passwords ? I could run a test here to see if it works.

                                  I expect the smartest way is to allow a user to define a password, then store that in the database is it's NULL as it would be in the case of WordPress integration.

                                    Used a hash from my test DB to populate this particular user - works as expected, so it's definitely the WordPress integration where things fall down. I have a lot of users wanting to talk to me in this manner for advice etc as they don't want to post directly on the forums...
