Wordpress plugin that adds Persona authentication
23 stars 16 forks source link

feature: sign in without having to have a word press account #12

The biggest hurdle of getting more wide spread adoption of this plugin is the fact that you have to have an existing word press username to sign in via persona. I want any user with a persona acct to be able to sign in and make a comment.

user story: I don't have a word press user name, and stumble on a blog. I want to comment. I click sign in with persona. I use my user@yahoo.com to authenticate. I make comment successfully.

Currently, I just get a non-descriptive error if i don't have a word press sign in.

@edmoz - this has been added, though the plugin will not override the sytem-wide setting "Users must be registered and logged in to comment" which is found in the "Settings->Discussion" panel. The feature will make its way to mass distribution once B2G work is done and I can get my Friday's back to further test all of this!

actually, you're right it is working! I was thrown off by an error that i had seen before. Time to start getting more people to use this plugin.
