Wordpress + OpenID on Windows

Writing is easy for those who are honored to put Wordpress on a Windows platform (well, for example, on their own desktop machine or on a Windows hosting).

There exists a problem with OpenID (or rather, with the openid plugin), the solution of which was barely found, very few recipes on the network (for sure, because the vast majority of Wordpress hosts are * nix).

In general, when installing out-of-the-box, the openid provider does not work. You need to open the file \wp-content\plugins\openid\Auth\OpenID\CryptUtil.php . At the very beginning there is this:
')
if (!defined('Auth_OpenID_RAND_SOURCE')) {
/**
* The filename for a source of random bytes. Define this yourself
* if you have a different source of randomness.
*/
define('Auth_OpenID_RAND_SOURCE', '/dev/urandom');
}


Naturally, there is no /dev/urandom in Windows. It is necessary to replace '/dev/urandom' with null (without quotes). Voila - now everything works;)

The only note is that after updating the plug-in version, you may need to do it again.

Do not judge strictly, I wanted to share my own experience in solving one problem.
