Hi @victoryel!
First of all, thank you very much for your review.
We are currently out of the office for the Easter holiday, but I took a quick look at the “Shield Security” plugin and as I see they have an option to hide the /wp-login.php page. That could cause a problem for us, as by default we use that page to handle our “OAuth flow” and the “Register flow”.
What you could try first, is forcing Nextend Social Login to handle the OAuth flow and the Register flow over other publicly available pages that you don’t use for anything else and excluded from all kind of caching.
For this you need to use our “OAuth redirect uri proxy page” and “Page for register flow” settings. Both of these can be found in our Global settings > General tab:
and you should configure them in the following way:
- For the Page for register flow: You should create a new page and add the shortcode into it: [nextend_social_login_register_flow] then select that page for this setting. Extra information before the registration with social login – like Terms and Conditions, Username, Password, Email – would be asked on this page. ( Make sure you don’t use this page for anything else! )
- For the OAuth redirect uri proxy page: You should create another new and completely empty page ( that you won’t use for anything else either ) and select it as OAuth redirect uri proxy page. Once it is done, the redirect URL of each configured provider will change, as the OAuth flow will be handled over this new page instead of the /wp-login.php page. So, you will need to add the new redirect URLs into each of your configured Apps again. ( Nextend Social Login will also warn you about this with a message, where you can see all the steps, but actually, you can find the redirect URLs in the Getting Started section of the providers, too. – The redirect URLs are the URLs that usually contain this query string: “?loginSocial=” )
If you still see the problem even after making these changes, just let us know and we will take another look tomorrow when we return to the office!
Best regards,
Laszlo.
