With all of the talk of online security lately, a particular message in my inbox caught my attention:
I want know about WordPress’ password encryption method; is it possible to change or replace it with another encryption method like MD5?
This is a heavy question, and rather than giving a simple yes/no answer, I want to supply a bit of detail regarding WordPress and passwords.
WordPress doesn’t ever store user passwords as plain text – I would highly suspect any that would. This is the primary reason why, if you lose your password, you need to reset it rather than just have WordPress email your password to you.
Of course you can only see those errors when you have set WP_DEBUG to true in your wp-config.php file.
Well, for example if you want to add a description to the navigation menu, so that it reads both the menu item name and the description of it. After all description is one of the features you can add if you open the Screen Options menu on the Appearance > Menus page in the WordPress Dashboard!
