wp-openid 2.0 released
I’m sure people are tired of me talking about how soon this will be released, so I promise I’ll shut up now. I’ve just tagged version 2.0 of wp-openid, a WordPress plugin which allows you to use OpenID for authenticating users and commenters. There are a number of really cool features we just weren’t able to get into this release, so that just means more to come in the next version. Go download it and have fun. Release notes, screenshots, FAQ, install instructions, etc can all be found there. I’ll probably be unplugged most of the weekend, so try not to break anything too bad. ;)
Comments and responses
Hi, I've successfully implemented your plugin on my blog, www.geekie.org , but I've found that it's not possible for an administrator to edit a user's identity URL's. Perhaps this would make for a useful feature?
Fortunately, the OpenID login and profile implementations work great! No bugs, as far as I can tell. Of course, I've made some changes to the source code in order to integrate it with my blog's design.
Thanks for the great work.
@Anton (Anonymous): I'd need a bit more information to know what's wrong. Feel free to contact me off-site or in the WP support forums.
@Frederick: perhaps I'm not understanding the use case, but why should an administrator be able to edit a user's Identity URLs? That would require that either A) the admin knows the password for the user's OpenID account, which is not likely or B) we don't actually verify ownership of the OpenID, which completely defeats the purpose.
Congratulations on an excellent and much-needed plugin!
I'm having trouble with delegated OpenID.
I'm http://robertjones.myopenid.com and have delegated http://www.jonesieboy.co.uk/blog to refer to that openid
When I try to post a comment using the original myopenid url, all is well, but when I use my blog url, my blog (and yours) chuck back a "need name and email" error, despite the fact that the openid checker reports that my blog is a functioning openid.
Any ideas?
I love the idea of this plugin but it simply returns a fatal error when I try and activate it.... "Plugin could not be activated because it triggered a fatal error."
I cant see where to debug it at all can you give me any advice ? (logs etc )
Nice to see that here the 2.0 specific directed identity feature worked like a charm. I entered openid.ee as the website URL and the comment got a really obvious Anonymous name even.
Unfortunately on my site it doesn't work that smoothly. I probably should work with templates a bit. Also Spam Karma did not like the post with the anonymous URL.
Other than that - great plugin, shall use it, thanks!
I'm having an issue that I didn't have before.
I'm running my own OpenID server, using Siege's phpMyID, and I can log in using http://williamgunn.org/me/OpenID.config.php?openid.mode=login, (delegated as http://williamgunn.org), but if I use that as anywhere(own my site, or here, or a couple other sites I tried, I get "We were unable to authenticate your OpenID."
It used to work, and now without changing any of the phpMyID code, it's not working anymore, anywhere.
Any insight?
I'm encountering an error with this plugin:
Error: OpenID assertion failed: Bad signature
Any thoughts about how to associate my OpenID with my WordPress account?
I've figured out that I likely don't have gmp, so I'm looking at adding this to the plugin somewhere:
define(’Auth_OpenID_NO_MATH_SUPPORT’, true);
but where?
Well, de-activating, re-activating (2 times) the plug-in on my website made it work finally. Certainly related to what Thomas mentions.
Do you plan to re-add the FOAF/SIOC features in the future ? I'll post a simmple hack for this on my blog for this release soon.
Having the same problem as John Jones. The plugin will refuse activation with a:
"Plugin could not be activated because it triggered a fatal error."
Where are the errors logged, so I can start troubleshooting?

I should have used the quote option to refer to the user that is having a similar problem to me. Again, getting the same message while trying to activate, and it will not load.
... and this is the second half of the test in order to agree with Rodolfo Zanzibar: what's the point on having OpenId if it doesn't show your identity but merely your link? How can I modify my template in order to show it? (I am using now the core WP comment_author_link function)
(Check it in Blogger, this issue is solved there!!)
Thanks for the answer Will, but unfortunately it does not work for me. The plugin mentions that it works with Kubrick or Sandbox themes but mine is based on Hemingway :-/
Generally when I added the plugin, nothing seemed to happen to the template. When I changed the name of the website field to "openid_url" then it always asks for authentication and fails if it is missing. If I keep the field as "url" then it never asks for authentication.
I've made a thread of the WP forums if that is easier for you
