Multisite

Hi @aveste!

Yes, you can install Nextend Social Login on multisite too. Each site will be managed separately; it will be like you have a completely separate social login plugin at every subsite, so the accounts won’t be shared between the websites.

You can also use the same application for all your subsite, just please note that each subsite has a different redirect url, so don’t forget to add each of them to your App.
For example in case of Facebook it is called “Valid OAuth redirect URIs”. If you check the 12th step of our Facebook – Getting Started tab, then you will find an URL suggestion there in each of your subsites. You should add all of those URLs to the App that you configure Nextend Social Login with.

Hi @nextendweb_gabor,

I have a question too concerning multisite support.

You write that accounts won’t be shared between websites. Is it possible to configure the plugin so that accounts are actually shared?

We use FB Login on a client’s site and are planning to move it into a multisite environment as part of an internalization project. The two sites will have different domains (no subdomain setup). If users registered on one site, they should be able to log in on the other too with the same credentials. That is how regular accounts work on WordPress, and now we’re wondering if that is possible to implement for accounts that used the Nextend Social Login feature to register via Facebook? It’s essential to us that logins on both sites with the same FB Account should have the same user_id.

Hi @wwwoda

As I see you have also opened a support ticket.
I have just replied to your message, could you check it please.

Just in case if somebody else is also interested in this topic, then I will describe the behavior of Nextend Social Login here, too.

• Basically Nextend Social Login registers just normal WordPress accounts and we link the social media account to these.
• On multisite environment, the account we registered can be actually used on subsites, too. So on the subsites of the multisite, you can login with both the traditional login forms or with social login.
• Each subsite handles our configurations separately, as there can be some providers that don’t allow multiple redirect urls in the same app. Meaning that some providers will use different apps on the different sub sites. The problem this can cause is that, a different App might return a completely different social media ID that’s why we need to store the connection between the user and the social media account separately on each subsite as well.

Best regards,
Laszlo.
