OpenID Login Does Not Work

Hello:

Trying to enable “openID” login functionality on my WordPress site and have tried all day and just can’t get it to work. Searched in the forums and none of the forum topics on OpenID are much use and some don’t even have answers to the questions, so I’m not sure if this is the proper forum to address this topic.

If first I thought the issue might be the OpenID url provider, but I used two different OpenID’s from two different OpenID providers and neither of them work to log me on to my WordPress site using openID.

The WP Open ID plugin “test” says everything is OK. And it even follows the openID url to the openID site and asks for the password, which I put in and then “nothing”. Sometimes gives a 404 error, sometimes page can not be found error, sometimes it does not and just kicks me out to the openID site. Just seems to get stuck, but I difinitely am not logging into the admin side of my WordPress application. Here’s one of the web pages after it fails after I put in the openID account password:

Here’s the system status from the WP OpenID plugin:

It says the WP OpenID plugin is working, but it doesn’t in the end.

When I first installed this WP OpenID plugin I thought this would take 15-20 minutes to get configured. Guess I was wrong.

Any help you can give to get this fixed and working properly so myself and my readers can login to my WordPress application using OpenID urls would be appreciated.

Thanks.
