=== Social Connect ===
Contributors: rodrigosprimo
Tags: facebook, wordpress.com, twitter, google, yahoo, social, login, register
Requires at least: 3.0
Tested up to: 3.8
Stable tag: 0.10.3
Allow your visitors to comment, login and register with their Twitter, Facebook, Google, Yahoo or WordPress.com account.
== Description ==
Social Connect adds social login buttons on the login, register and comment forms of your WordPress site.
The buttons offer login and registration using a Twitter, Facebook, Google, Yahoo or WordPress.com account.
It makes it super easy for new members to register with your site and existing members to login.
= Props =
Special thanks to:
* [markusdrake](http://wordpress.org/support/profile/markusdrake) for patches and helping in the support forums;
* [L D](http://wordpress.org/support/profile/enochfung) for patches and helping in the support forums;
* [Geodanny](http://wordpress.org/support/profile/geodanny) for helping in the support forums; and
* [Wirone](http://blog.wirone.info/) for polish translation and patches.
And everyone else in the forums sharing the fixes they find and answering each others questions.
= Contribute =
Social Connect is rapidly growing in popularity and help with the growing pains is appreciated.
If you're a developer, you can contribute fixes & optimisations via [Social Connect on GitHub](https://github.com/thenbrent/social-connect).
Everyone can help out by answering questions in the [Support Forums](http://wordpress.org/tags/social-connect?forum_id=10#postform).
== Installation ==
1. Upload everything into the "/wp-content/plugins/" directory of your WordPress site.
2. Activate in the "Plugins" admin panel.
3. Visit the "Settings | Social Connect" administration page to configure social media providers.
== Frequently Asked Questions ==
= Does Social Connect work with WordPress Multisite? =
Yes.
= Does Social Connect work with the Theme My Login plugin? =
Yes.
= Can visitors connect with Social Connect to make a comment? =
Yes.
= Do I need to add template tags to my theme? =
Social Connect attempts to work with the default WordPress comment, login and registration forms.
If you want to add the social connect login or registration forms to another location in your theme, you can insert the following code in that location:
`<?php do_action( 'social_connect_form' ); ?>`
= What do I do if the Rewrite Diagnostics fail? =
If you get a 403 and 404 on the Rewrite Diagnostics test, please request your hosting provider whitelist your domain on mod_security. This problem has been encountered with **Host Gator* and **GoDaddy**.
For more information, see [Geodanny's](http://wordpress.org/support/profile/geodanny) kind responses in the forums to similar issues [here](http://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-social-connect-url-rewriting-and-query-string-parameter-passing) and [here](http://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-social-connect-url-rewrite).
= Where can I report bugs & get support? =
First, a few caveats on support.
This is free software. Please be patient. I attempt to answer all questions, just not on the same day or even week. Polite and descriptive questions will always be given priority.
Please search the support forums before asking a question - duplicate questions will not receive a reply.
With those caveats in mind, ask questions in the [Support Forums](http://wordpress.org/tags/social-connect?forum_id=10#postform).
To help me diagnose the issue, please include the following information in your post on the [Forums](http://wordpress.org/tags/social-connect?forum_id=10#postform):
* what specifically is broken in Social Connect (eg. the buttons don't show up or it doesn't redirect back form Google)
* what you did just before Social Connect stopped working (eg. activated, enabled all OpenID providers, clicked the Google login button)
* version of the plugin
* version of WordPress
* list of other plugins installed
* error messages you receive (if any)
= Why doesn't Social Connect Work? =
Please make sure you are running the latest version of Social Connect and the latest version of WordPress.
If you have White Label CMS installed, the javascript it adds to your login page breaks all other plugins which run javascript on the login form.
For a quick fix and for more information see this [forum topic](http://wordpress.org/support/topic/social-connect-does-not-work-at-all?replies=7#post-2029255).
If you don't have White Label CMS installed, please double check your settings then post a question in the [Support Forums](http://wordpress.org/tags/social-connect?forum_id=10#postform).
= Social Connect and Better WP Security plugin =
If you have Better WP Security plugin enable you must disable "Prevent long URL strings" option otherwise Social Connect won't work properly.
== Screenshots ==
1. **Login** - on the login and registration form, buttons for 3rd party services are provided.
2. **Comment** - buttons for 3rd party services are also provided on the comment form.
