• I am just looking at alternatives while thinking through our site design. We are trying to make it as easy as possible for visitors to post comments (without causing a spam problem of course).

    I have been looking closely at janrain engage, and the plug-in is beyond our capabilities to install correctly (and make it look slick on our site). So one option is to hire a pro.

    Are there simplier alternatives we should consider? The only sign-ins we are really set on are Facebook, Twitter, and OpenID…

  • I’m looking for the same. I would advise not using janrain for the time being, it worked great for me until they updated it to work with WP3.0, now many users (myself included) report it not working with IE at all

    The developer said that there is a beta version that works with 3.0.1:

    http://groups.google.com/group/rpx-developers/browse_thread/thread/7d4658c5080097c7/

    I installed it on our blog–I just don’t know enough to do the “token” step of installation correctly. Thus, I am looking for alternatives.

    Wish I could help more…. I remember following the instructions, and having to run through things a couple times before it finally worked

    You might be interested in using WP Social Connect which supports login/register & commenting using Facebook, Twitter, OpenID, Windows Live, Yahoo, WordPress.org & Google accounts.

    The link didn’t get through, trying again.

    Hello Ashwin,

    We tried installing Social connect on wordpress(3.0.4) but it is not working ..when we click on any of the icons say gmail or yahoo…nothing happens and when we mouse over those icons we can just see following line in status bar

    ‘javascript://’

    we just want to use it for google, yahoo, openid and myopneid …but nothing is working ..please help…waiting for reply.

    Hi Jinesh,

    Did you try renaming the folder to ‘wp_social_connect’?

    The next build we do will have this requirement removed.

    Thanks,
    Ashwin

    Hello Ashwin,

    Thank you for your reply …

    ‘The folder that you install the plugin to needs to be renamed to ‘wp_social_connect’. This folder will be inside the WP plugins folder, so it should be wp-content/plugins/wp_social_connect’

    I did so ..and now i m getting login screen of google and yahoo and all …but after i enter details and submit the login form i m getting 404 error….over following URL

    Hello Ashwin,

    i noticed one thing which might help u to guide me in correct direction ..once i enter login info i m getting one page before it gives 404 error and following comes on that page

    This is probably not the site you are looking for!
    You attempted to reach centerstest.dadabhagwan.org.cactus.arvixe.com, but instead you actually reached a server identifying itself as *.arvixe.com. This may be caused by a misconfiguration on the server or by something more serious. An attacker on your network could be trying to get you to visit a fake (and potentially harmful) version of centerstest.dadabhagwan.org.cactus.arvixe.com. You should not proceed.

    Please guide me where i m going wrong ..waiting for reply.

    Regards,
    Jinesh

    Have you thought of looking into Lanoba for a solution?

    I hear there is a WordPress plugin on the way which will allow to add Facebook, Twitter, Google and others as a login option.
