What’s new in Social Login for WordPress, WooCommerce, BuddyPress, bbPress 1.6.0

Version 1.6.0 · May 2, 2023 Latest

What it does

Asking visitors to create yet another username and password puts many of them off, especially at checkout or when they want to join a discussion. Social Login for WordPress, WooCommerce, BuddyPress, bbPress adds sign-in buttons for Google, Facebook, Github, Twitter, Instagram, LinkedIn, Dribbble, OpenID and Yahoo. A visitor picks a network, approves the connection and is logged in or registered on your site. People who prefer a traditional account can still log in with email.

The plugin fits sites where accounts matter in more than one place. On a WooCommerce store it handles login and registration for shoppers, and on a BuddyPress site it does the same for community members, keeping the process consistent. Extra options include MailChimp syncing for new users, Google reCAPTCHA to block spam and malicious login attempts, and Envato purchase verification for sites that serve Envato customers. Developers can extend it with custom functions and integrations, and the login screens are responsive on phones and tablets.
