Excellent plugin
Works as advertised, SImple and easy to use.
Minimal and Best
For multiple social login accounts, I prefer Nextend Social Login and Register. But for internal web or website that has only admin team, no users, I think this plugin is the best.
Does not work in multisite
works fine for one site but not for multisite, need to add a notice about it
UsersWP – Social Login Reviews
Doesnt work in the real world
Very little documentation and support, missing the correct functions to actually work.
Works As expected!
The plugin extension which is free was working, other plugins using social login are paid but here, it is actually free! please update continuously this plugin, and also i plan to get some addons for
Unreliable Plugin
The installation process was straight forward and easy setup. Surprisingly, after complete setup, pages created by the plugin don’t load. I was able to only see the login screen from the admin profile
