After a long session going around in circles, I think I have cracked this particular nut!
Yes indeed – I now have been able to create accounts on a Wordpress site, hook those accounts up to use a GAFYD as OpenID to log in to Wordpress using the same credentials as the email hosted at Google [...]

Of these plugins to Manage Wordpress users and Google apps, the most promising sounding is of course WP Google Apps – http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wp-google-apps/.
That’s the one I tested first (WP Google Apps 1.0 on Wordpress 2.8.5), with no real success. The first issue is that the plugin is nested an extra folder deep, so the automatic install [...]

On a quest to make my Scout group’s website as simple as possible to use, I’m searching for a way to enable a single-sign-on (SSO) capability. Why you ask? So that our adult leaders and lay helpers can access both the Google Apps backend and the website with the same credentials.
Searching the Wordpress plugin repository [...]

This plugin really makes it easy to upgrade Wordpress, even from an old install way back at version 1.5! The author had finished development when Wordpress announced the native ability to upgrade, however this gives us [...]

What makes this interesting is that WebShell, the tool allowing file access to your H-Sphere hosting account, doesn’t appear to allow you to upload a directory (folder) from your computer. Since a Wordpress theme can contain [...]

Loving this new theme! This is iLeather, one of the wonderful themes available from Blogger Lounge. The question you may be asking is : “Why orange?”
Why not?
Okay, that’s not the best of answers. The whole Fantastic web site has been online for a very long time now, and in the early days the design was [...]

Lookout – there was a security exploit injected into WP 2.1.1 in the last few days. The WordPress team are right on it and have a 2.1.2 upgrade ready to go, which I’ve just installed here now.
Great to see them on top of things and it got me motivated to install a plugin to check [...]

I am trialling a very easy to install stats plugin for WordPress called PopStats. Yes, the site is in Spanish – don’t let that stop you … the plugin installs just by uploading to your plugins folder on the webserver and can be easily modified to run in English.
Perhaps when there are stats to see [...]

Just completed the update to WordPress version 2.1.1 which was great practice.
Also managed to edit my .htaccess file – which seemed quite hard at first!
Here in H-Sphere land we don’t allow direct shell access to accounts, which on the whole saves a great deal of grief. Occasionally we need to think outside the WebShell box, [...]
