# WP-OpenID

 * I’ve installed the WP-OpenID plugin, and it appears on the log in page as well
   as the ‘Your Identity URLs’ option in the admin pages.
 * If I try and log in using open id, or associate a URL using that option, it goes
   thru the motions of checking my Open ID, then doesn’t log me in or associate 
   it.
 * A quick look in apache logs just shows successful GET and PUTs from my OpenID
   provider (pip.verisignlabs.com)
 * What am I missing or how can I get some sort of troubleshooting info to follow
   up on?
 * Comments appreciated.

   appreciated…

 * I also have a similar problem. When trying to add an openid I get:

 * Try replacing the common.php on your site with the one found here:
    [http://diso.googlecode.com/svn/wordpress/openid/trunk/common.php](http://diso.googlecode.com/svn/wordpress/openid/trunk/common.php)
 * If that fixes the problem, I’ll go ahead and release it as 3.1.2.

 * Hopefully we can get this pinned down and fixed 🙂 Tell me if there’s anything
   else you want me to do!

 * I’ve been working with JesterKing and Furicle quite a bit offline this week and
   we finally figured out what the problem is. Having webdav enabled (more specifically
   mod_encoding) causes problems because it decodes the query string too early, 
   preventing PHP from parsing it properly. You can read more about the problem

 * The only real solution is to turn off webdav.

 * well now I feel really stupid. I have been having this problem for at least a
   year with my blogs on Dreamhost. I tested on my new one tonight since I just 
   set it up with the new openid plugin, and sure enough, turning off webdav fixed
   it.
    *facepalm*
