#31 Viewing individual posts displays blank page
If a user is not logged in and tries to view an individual post rather than the main page, they get a blank white page. php.log shows the same lines that appear when everything works fine, but all the user gets is a blank white page.
If they are already logged in, or if they go to the main page, everything shows up just fine. If I disable the OpenID plugin, everything works fine. I've tried it with 3 different themes just to make sure that it's not a theme issue and I got the same behavior with all three. Any suggestions?

This appears to be a problem with the OpenID box on comment pages. Disabling the Comment Form option in the plugin options makes everything behave the way it should. Though I think it still would be handy to figure out why it doesn't work with the option on and then find a fix.

I'm having similar problems. Everything appears to be fine as long as I'm already logged in.
But if I'm logged out, admin/login pages render empty, and single posts render without a comment form or sidebar (processing stops somewhere in the comments template).
I'm using the Sandbox theme, and I was trying to get wpopenid to correctly modify its comment form on-the-fly when I encountered these problems.
This is with revision 92 checked out from svn this morning (2007-02-12).
I've had to disable the plugin for now, which is a real bummer, because I was about to post some information about some other OpenID stuff :-/

The code to automagically insert the OpenID form elements into the comment form uses content buffering. I haven't delved into it too deeply, but based on what we're all seeing, it seems that something is causing it to blow up before the buffering has completed and been flushed back out to the browser.
So I suppose that turning off the comment form option and manually modifying the comment template should work. I might give that a try until a more general fix is available.

Okay, I turned off the "Comment Form" option and manually edited my comments template. Everything seems to be okay now, whether or not I'm logged in.

That solution in the second post fixes by my blog this bug.
