First thoughts
- I choose two to look at based on total downloads, last update and tested.
- I didn’t use oa-social-login for long. It required me to register with another service.
- No mention of this in the readme.txt file
- Now I’m trying wordpress-social-login
- I was surprised there is no “home” page for this plugin.
- BUT I have now followed the bit.ly link in the FAQ to http://hybridauth.sourceforge.net/wsl/index.html
- This gives me a bit more of a warm feeling.
- So it’s WordPress Social Login that I’m going to try first.
