 * Hi,
 * I am using OpenID plugin v3.3.2 & XRDS-Simple v1.0.
 * My problem is I can’t comments on Blogger using my OpenID using my blog root 
   URL – [http://1-million-dollar-blog.com/](http://1-million-dollar-blog.com/).
   The error message is “Your OpenID credentials could not be verified”
 * However, it works on other site such as
 * [http://testid.org/examples/consumer/](http://testid.org/examples/consumer/)
   
   [http://unixpin.com/wordpress/2009/11/16/wordpress-plugin-comments-with-openid](http://unixpin.com/wordpress/2009/11/16/wordpress-plugin-comments-with-openid)
   and other site using disquss plugin.
 * For your information, I am the only user at my blog & set my user ID to be used
   when I point to root URL.
 * I really appreciate help on my problem.

 * Same problem, getting OpenID error when trying to authenticate with my single
   user URL [http://ranno.eu](http://ranno.eu).
 * WP 2.9.2, OpenID 3.3.2, XRDS-Simple 1.0, PHP 5.2.12

 * Same versions (except PHP 5.2.6) and same problem. I can’t use the blog root 
   URL, OR the specific author URL

 * I was able to post to Blogger by disabling the XRDS-Simple plugin. I am using
   OpenID delegation. XRDS-Simple is listed as required for the “OpenID Provider
   and **some features** of the OpenID Consumer”. Does anybody know if this is necessary
   when you’re using OpenID delegation?

 * I am having a similar problem where I can’t login to anything at all using my
   OpenID: [http://wordpress.org/support/topic/380808?replies=1](http://wordpress.org/support/topic/380808?replies=1)

 * So far only using the author specific URL is working for me, even when I’m the
   admin. When I try to use my main site URL as an openid, it simply doesn’t work(
   it says “could not find OpenID server at [blog root url]”)
 * I used to have this in my header.php file:
 *     ```
       <link rel="openid2.provider" href="http://www.teddy-o-ted.com/openid/server" />
       <link rel="openid2.local_id" href="http://www.teddy-o-ted.com" />
       <link rel="openid.server" href="http://www.teddy-o-ted.com/openid/server" />
       <link rel="openid.delegate" href="http://www.teddy-o-ted.com" />
       ```
   
 * But then it also screws up the author OpenID authentication.

 * Thanks, setnes! Deactivating the XRDS-Simple plugin fixed my OpenId authentication
   problems. I’m using the author URL as my OpenId.
 * XRDS-Simple (the spec, not the WP plugin) was deprecated in early 2009 and was
   replaced with XRD 1.0:
    [http://hueniverse.com/misc/xrds-simple/](http://hueniverse.com/misc/xrds-simple/)
 * To fix this OpenId plugin properly, you would correct the XRDS discovery headers
   with the new XRD.
