Title: Google & Yahoo not working Last modified: August 21, 2016 --- # Google & Yahoo not working * Resolved [Ciudy](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ciudy/) * (@ciudy) * [12 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/google-yahoo-not-working/) * Hello, First, thank you for the plugin! I have just installed it (v1.0.1) on a 3.8.1 WordPress site. Configured facebook & twitter forms and activated Google& Yahoo radios. Facebook & Twitter work but when trying to connect with Google I’m getting: “_Error in parsing the OpenID auth request._“ and with Yahoo: “_Sorry! There is an error with the request…_“ I’m using a theme which uses a custom login page (site.com/login instead of /wp-login.php) Is this why OpenID doesn’t work? I’m really lost here. I’m more of a designer and I loose myself in php.. Anyone?

Doh! Of course! Why didn’t I think of that? *selffacepalm* And ..Yes, default themes return the same errors. I’m hosted with Webfaction, I doubt that server config may be the cause of this. They have one of the best rep on the market. Webfaction isn’t Godaddy.. Or, is there any special server requirements to run social connect? Thanks again. * Plugin Author [Rodrigo Primo](https://wordpress.org/support/users/rodrigosprimo/) * (@rodrigosprimo) * [12 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/google-yahoo-not-working/#post-4585272) * I’m not aware of any special requirements to run social-connect.

After checking your site I think I understand the problem. * The URL below is the request made by your site on Google OpenID provider: * [https://accounts.google.com/o/openid2/auth?openid.ns=http://specs.openid.net/auth/2.0&openid.mode=checkid_setup&openid.return_to=http://fishing.ms/index.php?social-connect%3Dgoogle&openid.realm=https://fishing.ms&openid.ns.ax=http://openid.net/srv/ax/1.0&openid.ax.mode=fetch_request&openid.ax.type.namePerson_first=http://axschema.org/namePerson/first&openid.ax.type.namePerson_last=http://axschema.org/namePerson/last&openid.ax.type.contact_email=http://axschema.org/contact/email&openid.ax.required=namePerson_first,namePerson_last,contact_email&openid.claimed_id=http://specs.openid.net/auth/2.0/identifier_select&openid.identity=http://specs.openid.net/auth/2.0/identifier_select](https://accounts.google.com/o/openid2/auth?openid.ns=http://specs.openid.net/auth/2.0&openid.mode=checkid_setup&openid.return_to=http://fishing.ms/index.php?social-connect%3Dgoogle&openid.realm=https://fishing.ms&openid.ns.ax=http://openid.net/srv/ax/1.0&openid.ax.mode=fetch_request&openid.ax.type.namePerson_first=http://axschema.org/namePerson/first&openid.ax.type.namePerson_last=http://axschema.org/namePerson/last&openid.ax.type.contact_email=http://axschema.org/contact/email&openid.ax.required=namePerson_first,namePerson_last,contact_email&openid.claimed_id=http://specs.openid.net/auth/2.0/identifier_select&openid.identity=http://specs.openid.net/auth/2.0/identifier_select) * Note that in the openid.return_to parameter your site URL is passed with http and in the openid.realm parameter your site URL is passed with https. If you manually change the value of the second parameter to http the request works. * The first parameter is set by social-connect plugin based on what home_url() function returns. The second parameter is set internally by LightOpenID, the library used to handle the OpenID protocol, based on $_SERVER[‘HTTPS’]. Probably your server has HTTPS available but WordPress is not configured to use it. * I guess that adding the line below to google/connect.php and yahoo/connect.php right after LightOpenID instance is created should fix this problem. * $openid->realm = home_url(); * Could you please test and tell me the results? * Thread Starter [Ciudy](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ciudy/) * (@ciudy) * [12 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/google-yahoo-not-working/#post-4585309) * Sorry for the delay.

I’m glad that we found a solution for this problem. I’ve created a new issue in the GitHub repository and this fix will be in the next release of the plugin. * [https://github.com/thenbrent/social-connect/issues/43](https://github.com/thenbrent/social-connect/issues/43) * [@247teach](https://wordpress.org/support/users/247teach/) could you provide a link where I can see the problem you are having? * [247teach](https://wordpress.org/support/users/247teach/) * (@247teach) * [12 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/google-yahoo-not-working/#post-4585320) * [@rodrigo](https://wordpress.org/support/users/rodrigo/) primo sure go to [http://247speak.org](http://247speak.org) * Plugin Author [Rodrigo Primo](https://wordpress.org/support/users/rodrigosprimo/) * (@rodrigosprimo) * [12 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/google-yahoo-not-working/#post-4585334) * [@ciudy](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ciudy/) I just released a new version of Social Connect with should fix the error you reported. Thanks! * [@247teach](https://wordpress.org/support/users/247teach/) I don’t think you are experiencing the same problem as you a getting a blank page and not an error from the OpenID provider. Could you please check your error log to see if there is anything there?
