My open-source packages have been downloaded over 1,346,364 times, and I'm currently migrating a large-scale, US-based engineering training platform from WooCommerce to Laravel. Featured Projects What I've Built ----------------- [ Our Own Product Pro Plan Live ### Iminify iminify.com Iminify compresses, converts and resizes in one pass, so an image is re-encoded once instead of three times. The Smart level doesn't take a quality number on faith: it encodes each image at several qualities, measures how far the pixels moved from the upload, and keeps the smallest file that still clears the target. Auto runs that search across WebP, AVIF, PNG and JPG, then hands back whichever won. Or paste a URL. The page scanner walks the page, collects every image it loads and returns one zip, and it comes with a free account. Compressing needs no account at all. No watermark, no ads. Pro lifts the daily caps, raises the size limit to 90 MB an image and gives your uploads a queue of their own, from $3 a month. 97.2% biggest saving on the public sample set 4 output formats, chosen per image $3 a month for Pro, billed yearly Compress Convert Resize Page scan Laravel Livewire Filament Image Processing ![The Iminify compressor with Smart level, format conversion and resize switched on, and two finished results](https://mozex.dev/images/mozex/iminify/compressor.webp) ![Iminify comparing an original photo with its optimized copy, showing an 83.7 percent saving](https://mozex.dev/images/mozex/iminify/before-after.webp) Before and after, measured ![The Iminify page scanner, which collects every image a web page loads](https://mozex.dev/images/mozex/iminify/page-scan.webp) Optimize a whole page ![The Iminify plan comparison for guests, free accounts and Pro](https://mozex.dev/images/mozex/iminify/pricing.webp) Free, or Pro from $3 a month ](https://www.iminify.com) ![Sevantia screenshot](https://www.sevantia.com/brand/screenshots/chat/en/dark/800x500.webp) Sevantia OpenAI Claude Gemini ### Sevantia [ ](https://www.sevantia.com) Multi-engine AI chat platform supporting OpenAI, Claude, and Gemini.

[ Oct 2, 2026 · 10 min read ### Migrate WordPress Users to Laravel Without a Password Reset I built a WordPress site in Docker to see what a wp\_users table holds after WordPress's move to bcrypt: WordPress 6.7.9 first, then an upgrade to 7.1.2, with users created on both versions. Then I copied its eight users, hashes intact, into a fresh Laravel 13.33 app on PHP 8.5 and tried to log each one in. Seven of the eight logins threw RuntimeException: This password does not use the Bcrypt algorithm. The right password threw it, and so did a wrong one. WordPress has hashed passwords with bcrypt since 6.8, and Laravel uses bcrypt too, so this looks like it should just work. It fails for two separate reasons, and one of them never shows an error. If you only need the fix, it's two steps: import the rows with the query builder, then register a hasher that knows WordPress's formats. Laravel then replaces each user's hash with a Laravel bcrypt hash on their first login.

It happened especially when I asked a Claude Code session to hand work to sub-agents: each sub-agent ran the tests for its own change, the runs failed, and it became a loop of discovering the problem and running it again. For this post I reproduced it on a fresh Laravel app whose phpunit.xml points at MySQL, with 1,201 tests, 1,200 of them using RefreshDatabase. Run alone, before any fix, the suite passes in under a minute. I started php artisan test twice at the same moment, three times. All six runs failed 1,167 to 1,200 of their 1,201 tests, and each took 3.5 to 4.4 minutes. The fix is my package mozex/laravel-test-lanes. Install it with composer require mozex/laravel-test-lanes --dev and there's nothing else to set up. With it, those runs pass. Everything here ran on Laravel 13.33, PHP 8.5, PHPUnit 12.5 with ParaTest 7.20, and MySQL 8.4 on Windows 11, with version 1.1.1 of the package (Laravel 11 to 13, PHP 8.2+, MySQL, MariaDB and PostgreSQL).

A second session in the same checkout wasn't the answer: neither session would know the other was working, so they'd interfere with each other's work and end up reverting each other's changes. Running two test commands at once caused problems too, because both ran against one database. Git worktrees fix the files: each session gets its own directory and branch. In a worktree with a copied .env, one migrate:fresh took the main checkout's users table in my test app from 1,000 rows to 0. I built mozex/laravel-worktree for this problem: one command gives each worktree its own database, test database, .env and Herd site. If you'd rather script it yourself, read the section on unsetting the parent's environment first, because the obvious Artisan command still emptied the main database in my test. Everything here ran on a fresh Laravel 13.33 app with MySQL 8.4 and PHP 8.5, served by Laravel Herd 1.30 on Windows 11, with version 1.6.0 of the package (it supports Laravel 11 to 13, PHP 8.2+, MariaDB and PostgreSQL; WORKTREE\_HERD=none skips Herd).
