  Hi,

  I have a site with passwords encrypted with SHA-256. The database stores a salt ($5$…) and the hashed password (crypt($pass, $bcrypt_salt))).

  I’d like to migrate to wordpress without asking the users to change their passwords. Is it possible to change the “CheckPassword” function in “classphpass.php” and change the way the passwords are encrypted ?

  We can’t help with sites that aren’t running on our wordpress.com platform. IUt’s not a good ideaa to mess arund in core files of your wordpress.org. If you have further questions, you must post them at https://wordpress.org/support/
