   I assume that this is an install problem since I don't see anyone else reporting the same issue.
   On my registration page, the password always says "Too short" regardless of the length of password

   nope not an install problems. I also have the problem I think it is a fault with the password strength meter. The problem is RP has not been updated wince wp 2.6.5 and so not all features work properly. see

   and more specifically here

   I think you need to change the codes for the password strength

   I have made the following patch file to correct the problem
   

   *** register-plus.php.preedit	Sat Apr 25 02:10:03 2009
   --- register-plus.php	Sat Aug 29 16:24:49 2009
   ***************
   *** 1347,1361 ****
   
     		jQuery(res).removeClass('short bad good strong');
   
   ! 		if ( strength == pwsL10n.bad ) {
     			jQuery(res).addClass('bad');
     			jQuery(res).html( pwsL10n.bad );
     		}
   ! 		else if ( strength == pwsL10n.good ) {
     			jQuery(res).addClass('good');
     			jQuery(res).html( pwsL10n.good );
     		}
   ! 		else if ( strength == pwsL10n.strong ) {
     			jQuery(res).addClass('strong');
     			jQuery(res).html( pwsL10n.strong );
     		}
   --- 1347,1361 ----
   
     		jQuery(res).removeClass('short bad good strong');
   
   ! 		if ( strength == 1 ) {
     			jQuery(res).addClass('bad');
     			jQuery(res).html( pwsL10n.bad );
     		}
   ! 		else if ( strength == 3 ) {
     			jQuery(res).addClass('good');
     			jQuery(res).html( pwsL10n.good );
     		}
   ! 		else if ( strength == 4 ) {
     			jQuery(res).addClass('strong');
     			jQuery(res).html( pwsL10n.strong );
     		}

   just copy this into a file and then do
   patch < patchfilename
   on a command line where patchfilename is the name of you saved the patch to. HTH

   n03lm, you seem to have become the resident expert on RP -- any chance you might share your collected changes with us? I can blindly hack at the php, but I'm no expert. I would appreciate your insight.

   I am petrified to upgrade my woefully outdated WP 2.6.3 install because I will lose RP functionality (something on which my customer insists!) I'd love to get to WP 2.8.4 and automated upgrades sometime before this century is out.

   FTR, I don't need captcha or the password strength meter.

   Thoughts?
