Existing WordPress Users

Hi Sascha,

Can existing with wordpress registered users add/remove the option to use a certain social login?

As Social Login icons are visible to users not logged in, it is not possible to detect if user is not already registered and display social login only for these users.

Plugin checks if email associated with the user’s social account is already registered. If it is, it simply logs that user to the account already existing, without overwriting profile data.

Yes, thanks. Get it now.
So just an edge case scenario, but not that far fetched:

User is registered on my site as a wordpress user with email: [email protected]

Now he is registered at facebook with [email protected]. He hit’s social login is registered and logged in and then realises that it’s the wrong account, as all his posts etc are not there. he logs out, logs in as wordpress and changes the account email to [email protected] (same as associated with his FB account). Will those two accounts merge? Which will take precendence? Or will he get an error message saying that that email is already taken???

I for instance have a different email address for FB & linkedin, but I would like to log in with either FB or linkedin into my same wordpress account. Is that somehow possible?

Or is there a manual way that he can associate a facebook account with his wordpress account, once he is logged in as a wordpress user, no matter what email that facebook account is registered with?

Codepen.io has that functionality (under account in profile) to associate a github account with codepen for instance.

Anyway, I do hope you know what I mean!

After changing the WordPress account email to that of Facebook account, plugin will login user to their WordPress account, without creating a different account and without overwriting the existing profile data.

Yes, you can link your Social accounts to your WordPress account from profile page. After this you would be able to login to your WordPress account from the linked Social accounts regardless of emails associated with these.
