What it does
Many visitors give up when a site asks them to fill out a registration form and invent a new password. This plugin lets them skip that step by signing in with an account they already use. It adds Facebook and Google login options, handles authentication through OAuth, and creates a WordPress user profile from the social account details, so people can get into their account with a couple of clicks.
The plugin works on both content sites and WooCommerce stores, so the same social login experience applies across a blog, a shop or a site that combines both. You can adjust the look of the login buttons so they match your branding, and setup happens through a settings interface that does not require coding. Users can also link both their Facebook and Google accounts for more flexible access.
Best for
- WooCommerce stores that want faster customer sign-in
- Content sites where readers create user accounts
- Site owners who want social login without coding
Features
Facebook and Google login
Visitors can log in or register using their existing Facebook or Google accounts, so they do not need to create and remember a separate password for your site.
WordPress and WooCommerce support
Social login works on regular WordPress sites and on WooCommerce stores, giving shoppers and readers the same sign-in option across your platform.
Secure OAuth authentication
Logins run through the OAuth protocol, so users authenticate with Facebook or Google directly and their passwords are never shared with your site.
Automatic profile creation
When someone signs in for the first time, the plugin imports profile information from their social account to create their user profile automatically.
Customizable login buttons
You can change the appearance of the social login buttons so they fit your site's branding and look consistent with the rest of your design.
No-code configuration
A user-friendly settings interface lets site owners set up social login without writing any code or editing template files.
Multiple linked accounts
Users can link both their Facebook and Google accounts, giving them more than one convenient way to access the same profile.

Questions about SocialConnect
Which social networks can my visitors use to log in?
The plugin supports Facebook and Google. Visitors can log in or register with either account, and they can link both accounts to the same profile if they want more than one way to sign in.
Does it work with a WooCommerce store?
Yes. It is compatible with both WordPress and WooCommerce, so customers in your store can sign in with Facebook or Google, and the same login option can be used on the content side of your site.
Will new users get a WordPress account automatically?
Yes. When someone signs in with a social account for the first time, the plugin imports profile information from that account and creates their user profile automatically, so they skip the usual registration form.
Can I make the login buttons match my site's design?
Yes. The social login buttons are customizable, so you can adjust their appearance to fit your branding. This is done through the plugin's settings interface, which does not require any coding.
Is SocialConnect free?
The code of SocialConnect is licensed under the GPL, so anyone may use, change and share it. GPL Feast is a paid service: a plan or a single purchase gives you the download and automatic updates. The developer's own support, licence key and online services are not included.
Which version of SocialConnect is this?
Version 2.0.2, released Mar 9, 2026. New versions appear here when the developer publishes them, and members get them as automatic updates.
How do I update SocialConnect?
Install the free GPL Feast Updater on your site and connect it with your API key. It installs new versions of SocialConnect automatically and keeps a backup, so you can roll back.
