Cookies issue with different FB Account

Same problem here. It will sign in with another Facebook account if I clear the cookies. But even if I’m not signed into any Facebook account it will still go through to my user after pressing the connect with Facebook button. Causing a bit of a security issue.

I really love this plugin, easy to use and customize. but this is the serious issue, it occure even in their DEMO site.

please fix this issue. I love to donate too ??

I have the same problem too, anyone found a fix for this? It’s major security problem.

As per the Forum Welcome, please post your own topic.

I fixed it by killing the cookies Everytime log out. Then do a redirect to the fb log out page then back to my home page

Daveteu, can you please elaborate on how you killed cookies? I’ve currently got mine instantly redirecting back to the referring page as soon as it logs out — not the FB log out page/home page combination like you. Will your method still be doable for me?

Does anyone know if this issue has been fixed, thx

I am also facing the same problem. Nextend plugin developer must fix this issue. Please fix this issue. If anybody has fixed it please reply it.

But it is not fixed yet.

I had contacted NextEnd regarding this as well yesterday and this is what I got:

Hi,

Thank you for contacting us!

Sorry, but we are currently super busy with our projects, so we had to put facebook login on hold. In the future we will try to make time for it, but now we just can’t. I hope you understand.

Have a nice day!

For WordPress Social Connect – Facebook plugin (this option not available on “Subject”)

After a user logs out (and also make sure to logout of Facebook), he/she can still log back into WordPress without re-authenticating with Facebook. Worse yet, if he signs into Facebook with another account on the same browser, he still gets logged into the first account.

I discovered that both problems would be fixed simply by removing the “nextend_uniqid” cookie from the browser. Can you please make this fix so I don’t have to manually tweak the code in my install?

Totally unacceptable.

I am attempting to fix this problem myself. I’ll post results if I was successful.

Ha, I solved it with only a few lines of code. Place these in your theme’s function.php so you don’t have to mess with the plugin:

/* Fix nextend facebook connect doesn't remove cookie after logout */
/* By HH3Stuff */
if (!function_exists('clear_nextend_uniqid_cookie')) {
    function clear_nextend_uniqid_cookie(){
        setcookie( 'nextend_uniqid',' ', time() - YEAR_IN_SECONDS, '/', COOKIE_DOMAIN );
        return 0;
    }
}

add_action('clear_auth_cookie', 'clear_nextend_uniqid_cookie');

Note: this does NOT log you out of Facebook. So if you don’t manually log out of facebook, then clicking on “Connect with FB” you would still log directly back into your wordpress.

thank you hh3 for the contribution
I wonder how many people tried it out.

I would really like to help to fix this issue, but please let me understand what needs to be done.

I’m no coding expert at all but I’m not scared of diving into the mod itself, which then may be purposed as candidate for the next release, since the authors say that they’re busy.

Let us all fix this useful plugin for wordpress, unless we all want to use 3rd party websites for “Connect Facebook” function… Because I can’t seem to find any other handy and self supplied plugin like this.

Comziz,
I had ran into other issues too many to list regarding this plugin, so I have switched to another plugin that’s more manageable… it’s not bug free and also not currently being supported either, but at least I got it to work.

Thansk hh3, your solution really worked.

There are issues with fb connect whether you use php or js sdk. I am using js and php sdk in 1 of my site and there was an issue with cookies not clearing so i had to manually clear by keeping a check whether user has logged out of fb or not. Even if i used the logout from js or php it didn’t worked.
