Encryption Error for Password

[apollwebservices]

When trying to set up credentials (username, password, subdomain) I am getting an error that there is an issue trying to encrypt using sodium. I have the latest CCB Core plugin 1.0.7 and with WordPress 5.2.3.

excerpt from ccb_core_settings in wp_options table:

s:6:"errors";a:1:{s:15:"encrypt_failure";a:1:{i:0;s:44:"The string could not be encrypted via Sodium";}

@conbracowebservices thanks for reporting this. The issue is with how PHP 5.6, 7.1, and 7.2/7.3 all implement different levels of support for the password encryption method I was using, depending on the hosting environment.

I have just released a new version that implements a more widely supported method. It should work in almost any environment. The only requirement is that your hosting platform needs to have the OpenSSL PHP module installed. It should be a very common module unless the platform hasn't been managed for a very long time. The plugin will warn you if it doesn't detect the module.

I know this is a very old issue, but if you are still interested in using this plugin I have a copy of 1.0.8 ready for testing and can be manually downloaded here https://github.com/jaredcobb/ccb-core/archive/master.zip. If you do happen to test, I'd love to hear the results or if you have any problems.

I plan to release this plugin after I have more time to test this week. Thanks!
