Overview
Long registration forms and extra passwords put people off signing up. UsersWP Social Login addresses this by letting visitors use credentials from networks they already use. They choose a provider, confirm access, and land on your site as a registered user. The add-on connects to UsersWP, so sign-ins fit into the user management you already have in place.
The plugin supports Google, Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, Instagram, Yahoo, WordPress and VKontakte, which suits sites with varied audiences. It relies on OAuth sign-in from the providers, and it only matches a social login to an existing account when the provider confirms the email address belongs to that person. It is also fully translatable, so the login options can match your site's language.
Features
- Eight social networks supported: Visitors can sign in or register with Google, Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, Instagram, Yahoo, WordPress or VKontakte, choosing the account they already know.
- Built to work with UsersWP: This add-on runs alongside the core UsersWP plugin, so social sign-ins fit into the user management your site already uses.
- Fewer signup barriers: People use an existing social account to register and log in, so there is no separate password to create and no long form to complete.
- Fully translatable: The plugin is 100% translatable, so you can adapt the login interface to the language your visitors read.
- OAuth authentication: Sign-in goes through secure authentication methods from the social providers, which helps keep user data protected during login.
- Verified email account matching: An existing WordPress account is matched by email only when the provider confirms ownership. Unconfirmed addresses go through registration or account linking instead.
- LinkedIn OpenID login: LinkedIn sign-in works through OpenID and recognizes LinkedIn's verified-email signal, so confirmed addresses are treated as verified.
- Documentation for customizing: Detailed guides are available to help you customize the plugin or troubleshoot problems when you adjust how social login works on your site.
Best for
- WordPress sites already using UsersWP for user accounts
- Community sites that want quicker visitor registration
- Multilingual sites serving visitors on many social networks
Changelog
Version 1.5.10 — 9 September 2026
- Security Social login could authenticate an existing WordPress account using a provider-asserted email address that the provider had not confirmed the user owned, allowing account takeover in some configurations. Email addresses are now only used to resolve an existing account when the provider positively confirms ownership; unconfirmed addresses are routed through account registration/linking instead.
- Fixed The cached provider profile is now cleared from the session immediately after a login completes, so a replayed request can no longer reissue an auth cookie without a fresh round trip to the provider.
- Fixed LinkedIn (OpenID) login now correctly recognises LinkedIn's verified-email signal instead of always treating the address as unverified.
