Auth Key / Salt

    Hello!

    We’ve migrated a site that has run into some problems with a plugin. To make a long story short, the plugin is using the hashing function (and therefore also salt).

    It was not taken into account when the site was migrated, and I suspect the wordpress-installation has generated new strings/auth keys. That has caused the plugin to stop working with content created with the old keys, before the migration.

    I’ve tried installing WP Data Access (Awesome plugin, by the way!) on the old site (we only have wordpress-access, no access to hostingspace or SQL), to try and find the required rows in the option-table, but they aren’t visible when using the plugin.

    Do you have any clue as to why they would not be visible? A lot of things are visible in the table, but other things are missing, like we’re only allowed to view part of the table.

    Thank you in advance!

    Hi @foulchain,

    Can you access the option table from the Data Explorer? The Data Explorer does not limit your query. If an option cannot be found in the Data Explorer, I guess it’s not there. Could the option name be hashed?

    Alternatively, you could export the whole option table and use an ascii editor to find the text string you are looking for. You can export directly from the Data Explorer (table > Manage > Actions > Export).

    Does this help?

    Good luck,
    Peter
