The simpler media website CMS
Greetings,
I've just updated from 1.6.2 to 1.6.5. My zenphoto gallery has a global password, which until 1.6.2 requires no user id, but he password on the login screen. The user id field is now mandatory, only named users can login.
I figured out this was changed in 1.6.3 in class-authority.php. I've removed the required attribute from the user field for the moment to allow my guests to access the gallery again.
Are gallery passwords no longer supported or do I have to create a user for general access? My guests should only view my albums.
Regards Jan

We generally don't remove anything without previous deprecation. And if we need to do for some technical/security reason or else the release posts will note that.
Gallery passwords are still supported with or without a guest user name. Have you tried to disable the user name on Options > Security for guest login forms?
For real user accounts the name and email field are now required though (since 1.6.3).
