Wp Social lets you add social login, social counter, and social share buttons of different styles to your WordPress website.
A website without traffic is lame, but a website that hates social media is doomed to extinction (Yeah, a viral fever has spread all over, but the world craves for it!)
You might feel decision fatigue to find 3 individual plugins for social login, social counter, and social share to keep your website paced with social media.
Well, why exhaust your website with multiple plugins when only one robust social media plugin can do what you want?
Welcome to WP Social.
Leverage WP Social to make the login process and content sharing of your website easier along with counting the fans and follower…
I’ve been using this plugin on my website and it works really well. It allows users to quickly log in or register using their social media accounts like Facebook, Google, Twitter, and LinkedIn, which makes the registration process much easier for visitors.
The setup is simple and the interface is user-friendly. I also like the additional features such as social share buttons and social follower counters, which help increase engagement and display social proof on the website.
Another good thing is the flexibility — you can customize login redirects, enable or disable providers, and place the buttons anywhere using shortcodes. Overall, it’s a very useful plugin for any WordPress site that wants to improve user login experience.
Highly recommended!
Great support and quick resolution!
I reported an issue with LinkedIn login getting stuck when the user profile had no avatar. The WP Social support team acknowledged the issue promptly, identified the root cause, and provided a fix quickly. The issue is now resolved and will be included in the next official release.
Really appreciate the professional support and responsiveness from the team. Highly recommended plugin and support!
thank you
I’ve been using WP Social Login and Register Social Counter, and it has exceeded my expectations! This plugin makes the login process incredibly smooth by allowing users to sign in with their social media accounts effortlessly.
Great product and customer service. 5 stars.
