Wordpress and MD5 Passwords

supermonkey

I want to take a mysqldump of a wordpress database and insert a new user directly in that text file.

If I put an MD5 password directly into users:
$P$BmLdvl3RJNosEkpUta2bjkiJX2fd1X0

INSERT INTO `wp_users` VALUES (1,'admin','$P$BmLdvl3RJNosEkpUta2bjkiJX2fd1X0','admin','fakemail1@gmail.com','','2010-10-27 10:02:14','',0,'admin');

will that MD5 password be readable by wordpress?


Thanks All

I would say so, but why not just run that sql statement and see if it works?

Yes, but it is hard to see why you would do this.

Better to use Wordpress functions from your theme or plugin:
- http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/wp_create_user

This method will "play nice" with other plugins (have a look at how the API works on http://codex.wordpress.org/Plugin_API).
