What it does
Long registration forms ask visitors to invent yet another username and password, and many people would rather skip that step. This add-on places social login buttons on your Profile Builder registration and login forms, so a visitor can sign up or sign in with an account they already have on Facebook, Google, Twitter or LinkedIn. Existing members can also link their current profile to a social account, which gives them more than one way to log in.
Setup centers on the forms you already built with Profile Builder, which this add-on requires. You choose which registration or login forms display the buttons and whether they appear before or after the form fields. Large buttons show an icon with editable text, while small buttons show icons only and can sit under a custom heading. That makes it a good fit for membership sites and community platforms that already rely on Profile Builder for user accounts.
Best for
- Membership sites built with Profile Builder
- Online communities that want faster sign-ups
- Site owners adding social login to existing forms
Features
Four social login networks
Visitors can sign up and log in using their Facebook, Google, Twitter or LinkedIn accounts instead of filling in a full registration form.
Choose which forms show buttons
Pick the specific Profile Builder registration or login forms that display social login buttons, so each form fits the flow of your site.
Button placement control
Position the social login buttons either before or after the form fields, depending on where you want visitors to see them first.
Large or small button styles
Use large buttons with a social icon and text, or compact small buttons that show only icons, to match the look of your site.
Editable button text
Change the wording on large buttons so the sign-in prompts read the way you want and stay consistent with the rest of your site.
Headings for small buttons
Add a custom heading above the small icon buttons to tell visitors what the icons are for and how they can use them.
Account linking for members
Existing users can connect their current profile to a social media account, giving them an extra way to log in alongside their password.
Questions about Profile Builder Social Connect
Do I need Profile Builder for this to work?
Yes. This is an add-on for Profile Builder, so it works with the registration and login forms you create in that plugin. It adds social login buttons to those forms rather than providing its own separate forms.
Which social networks can my visitors use to log in?
The add-on supports Facebook, Google, Twitter and LinkedIn. Visitors can use any of these accounts to register on your site or log in, and existing users can link one of these accounts to their current profile.
