 * After installing the OpenID wordpress plugin “WPOpenID” on [http://www.dbaplace.com/wp-login.php](http://www.dbaplace.com/wp-login.php),
   I tested it using the authentication server myopenid.com. Using the same software
   myopenid uses I installed my own authentication server at [http://www.oidd.net](http://www.oidd.net).
   This server works perfect for signup and authentication on external sites, but
   whenever I try to autneticate locally using the OpenID plugin for wordpress I
   get the error “OpenID Authentication Failed: Bad signature.”. At first I thought
   this might have been a transparent proxy rule I had setup to make “user_name.
   oidd.net” translate transparently to oidd.net/?user=user_name, but after disabling
   it this does not seem to be causing the error.

 * Have you tried contacting the plugin author about this? Also, which version of
   WP are you running this on? If you’re running WP 2.1, is the plugin compatible
   with it? Just was wondering..

 * I seem to have a similar problem. I have a WordPress blog, where I can use OpenID
   from myopenid to log in just fine. However, when I use an openid hosted on the
   same machine, I got this “bad signature” error. I just experienced this problem
   last night, and was doing some research when I came across this post. Did you
   find a solution by any chance? Thanks.
