As far as I can see, with current Wordpress (and that apparently includes your own site) the latest version of the plugin no longer works. Not to mention that it hasn't been developed for over a year.

Is there any chance this will be fixed, or should everyone look for alternatives? I'm afraid while there are several viable alternatives, they all create user records rather than just post identified comments, which I find unacceptable.

Hi,

I am using wordpress 3.1.3 and the openID checkbox never appears on the comments section. I did notice the jQuery(function(){ add_openid_to_comment_form('http://domain.com/wptr/index.php', 'xxxxxxxxxx') }) appear, but the tags generated by this is probably in the wrong section.

There is a bug in plugin (OpenID v3.3.3) in file wp-content/plugins/openid/common.php on line 543.

Replace

echo '{ valid:' . ( is_url_openid( $_REQUEST['url'] ) ? 'true' : 'false' ) . ', nonce:"' . wp_create_nonce('openid_ajax') . '" }';

with

echo '{ "valid":' . ( is_url_openid( $_REQUEST['url'] ) ? 'true' : 'false' ) . ', "nonce":"' . wp_create_nonce('openid_ajax') . '" }';

otherwise when you try to enter OpenID URL you get "errorparse" and checkbox don't appear.

I “didn’t get it” either. It’s a bit non-obvious. You have to enter your openid url in the “Website” field and then the “Authenticate this comment using OpenID.” message appears.

That also makes the Name/Email required markers incorrect…maybe.

It’s not working for me. I am always redirected to a page with “No input file specified”.

Please disregard the last comment - it was WP-Super Cache causing the problem. I found this, which fixed it: http://code.google.com/p/diso/issues/detail?id=153

Hey Will -

Hope the holiday season is treating you right!

I've been having problems with my provider, kind of like "admin" above. Getting error "Could not discover an OpenID identity server endpoint at the url: http://michaelgracie.com" and have found Blogger and a couple of other Wordpress sites can't verify it either. XRDS-Simple is in place, the links show in source, and /author/... point to the server.

I can't be sure whether this started sometime during an OpenID upgrade, when I moved to 2.9, or when I started using WP-Super Cache, but those are the only changes that have happened.

Any thoughts would be appreciated.

Cheers,

Michael

I didn't get it, how can I autenticate my comments with OpenID?

Should I use OpenID URL in pace of email? I tried it but I got an error...

Do you know if your plugin is working for the last release of WordPress? 2.9

Just wanted to let you know that the "author homepage"-link in the wordpress plugin directory for open id is broken.
