Outdated | Documentation for Social Login and Share (X)

  • Hi there,

    Your documentation for setting up a social login and share account for X is outdated.

    Specifically:

    1. “Twitter” is gone. Use “X”
    2. Current procedure (steps) provided for obtaining a Consumer Key and API Secret for X does not work. It needs to be updated. For example, the first step requires setting up a Project. Your documentation skips that part (no mention about it either).

    Please revisit and update your documentation (not just for X, but for all other social share apps/websites).

    Thank you!

    Another one is Linkedin!

    Please revisit and update your documentation. Several social login and share apps are no longer working due to recent platform and/or app updates.

    Thank you!

    Hi,

    I’ve already requested the team to improve the documentation.

    Hi @gvectorssupport,

    Before updating your documentation, please ensure all instructions to connect your plugin to the social apps are thoroughly are tested. Many social apps have updated their API OAUTH2 connectivity procedures.

    Also, make sure your tests are performed with the top 5 security plugins installed – one at a time (e.g., Wordfence, Malcare, Jetpack, Security Optimizer, and All-In-One-Security). Why? Well, it so happens that some social app logins are being blocked by these plugins due to XSS issues. Something worth looking into.

    Thank you!
