  Ever since I upgraded my domain name, ie removing the wor “wordpress”, I have a lot of trouble leaving comments on other people’s blogs. I have tried my OpenID but I never have any success. It all seems hit and miss now. The only success I have is when it offers “Name/URL”, but some sites dont always offer that as a choice.
  Blog url: http://scratchyas.wordpress.com/

  Can you please try clearing out your cache?
  Do you also encounter this issue in a different browser? for example Firefox or Google Chrome?

  Sorry for the inconvenience.

  Hi Kardotim,

  Thanks for your response. I have tried all the above and still the same results. I’m convinced that this has only occurred since I upgraded my URL. It’s a bit confusing, my site is scratchyas.com, but my OPENID is http://scratchyas.wordpress.com/

  Cheers,
  meegan

  Given the limitations of the OpenID protocol, it will only work properly if scratchyas.wordpress.com is set as your site’s primary domain.

  Sorry for the trouble!

  Hi macmanx,

  Thanks for the reply. I thought it would be something like that. Do you know if I can change my openID to match my new domain name?

  cheers,
  meegan

  Unfortunately, no. It can only be used with the [blog].wordpress.com URL.
