My admin account for WP doesn't work anymore!

We're authenticating externally, right? Take that admin account you initiall created in your WP setup and make sure it's in your external database. Once it's in there you'll be able to log in as admin with no problems. If you can't do this, delete the plugin and it'll restore access using your WP admin account at least.

Why external?

Because Moodle seems to have issues with having blogs actually have commenting abilities.

My users are confused and keep on resetting from the WP login...

This is no longer a problem, as password resets within WP are now disabled with the latest version of this plugin. For further instructions for your users that will appear in both the login box and the error message when they try to reset passwords, make sure to fill out "Custom login message" in the plugin settings.

Can I still create accounts within WordPress?

Yes, but if there is a situation where you have a pre-created account on WordPress, then add an account with the identical username on the external database, the WordPress data will be overwritten. Best practice is to not really use the user admin interface on WordPress for account addition.

Can I update user information within WordPress?

Yes, and your individual users can do so, too. However, if additional data fields that match WP's additional data fields are set in the plugin configuration, it will overwwrite WordPress user information every time.

My external database's passwords are hashed with a salt/datestamp/phases of the moon/etc

Choose "Other" as your encoding method, then enter the method you use in the "Other" textbox as PHP code.

I'm locked out!

Delete or rename the plugin; if it's a DB connection-related error most likely you have the wrong connection, etc. information for the external database.
