Passwords not encrypting

Passwords not encrypting was created by wouterjonker
Good day,

I am using Joomla 2.5.16 and community builder 1.9.1

All has worked fine until I recently change some fields in the registration process and added a captcha plugin. Now when users register the passwords are not encrypted, but instead stored as plain text. And then they cannot log in.

However if they request a new password it does the md5 salt encryption and the user is able to log in again.

Is there a way I can enable encryption in the backend somehow? The helper file looks to be in order.

Thanks

Update to at least latest Joomla 2.5.28 version.

No idea what captcha plugin you are using.

There is no such parameter to enable/disable encryption, so if things were working and now are not, then something you did or installed is breaking things on your site.

Thanks for your reply.
I have updated it to 2.5.28

Still having the same issue.

I am using Easy Calc Check Plus
Disabling the plugin also does not make a difference.
extensions.joomla.org/extension/access-a-security/site-security/easycalccheck-plus

Update:


I have also updated CB to 2.05 but it gave me this installation error:
1064 - An error has occurred. You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near '' at line 3 SQL=UPDATE el5sc_menu SET lft = lft + 2 WHERE lft >

The site is now broken, so after a reinstall of CB 2.05 it gave no installation errors, but the site is still broken.

Update 2
If I disable the Community Builder Login module the site "works" again, but without this module functionality.
