In an attempt to see if requiring registration is stopping me from getting sales, I have just installed and set up the Social Login plugin. I have tried it myself and seems to work, but was wondering if anyone else would be willing to give it a try? You can use your, facebook, twitter, linkedin, yahoo, google, github, foursquare, wordpress, paypal, windows live or blogger account. I would be particularly interested in finding out if logging in with paypal works...when I tried it, it said I couldnt login right now. I took that to mean it might work, just not right now.
By the way, I really like the Social Login plugin and its interface. Very easy to set up and the instructions were easy to follow.
-
I tried the paypal one and got the same error.
And trying to login using twitter showed me this
[Site:cathyslifestockphotos] Could not connect to Twitter
Please verify the Twitter configuration of your Site.
If you are the owner of cathyslifestockphotos, you can fix this error here: Setup Twitter Configuration
For debugging purposes I'm on IE10 though I could try with firefox if you'd like.
*edit*
Just so you know I have my IE browser set to block all pop ups if that's causing the problem. The way I get around it is tell it to allow once then it opens in a new page then I right click then open it up in a new tab.
-
I just logged in using Facebook and it worked fine. I tried adding an image to the cart and it took me to the download area but it did not show the image however it did show up when clicked on my cart in the upper right to refresh the page.
I like the one you're using because it's got the line saying you can log in using those options. I set up a different one and while it's got the icons on the registration page it doesn't tell you that you can log in using those.
-
Same as you couldn't log in with PayPal (same reason), but it let me log in using FB.
I added an image to my cart but had to refresh the File Management page for it to show up.
Deleted the image from the cart.
Added a different image and it showed up in the cart Ok.
PS
edit your signature WP is gone.
-
I logged in using Yahoo and added an image to the cart and it showed up immediately.
I had the same result with gmail.
-
Google, Wordpress.com and Yahoo all worked for me. I got the same error message for Twitter and Paypal.
-
You guys are awesome! I got notification emails too. and it noted which social icon you used.
Re: twitter...I will go fix that. I misunderstood and thought I had to set it up if I wanted to login using it. I didn't understand it meant for anyone. The wording doesnt make that clear. Facebook did the same thing but I went through the steps. So glad it's working ok.
I will have to look into paypal too.
Thanks so much!

Thanks Steve. I don't know what you mean by the PS though. Can you explain?

I think Steve was talking about your Warm Picture link in your MSG signature. I also thought he was referring to Word Press.

I Tried twitter and get an error, with google worked fine.

I tried to register on your site via Twitter but was turned off by this warning:
Authorize cathyslifestockphotos to use your account?
This application will be able to:
Read Tweets from your timeline.
See who you follow, and follow new people.
Update your profile.
Post Tweets for you.
Haven't tried FB or PP or any other. But I must say: I can't imagine anybody signing in w/Twitter knowing they're letting you update their profile and post tweets for them.
Am I understanding this wrong? If not, that whole thing seems nuts!
-
I figured out that I needed to go through a whole registration thing with all of the social places. I thought it seemed to easy! Anyway, they all should be set up now. I am off to try Paypal and some of the others.
Thanks again for your help. If anyone has time to try again, that would be excellent...now that I have them all set up.

I did not have them all set up so they all should work now. I have hesitated about doing this until now, because I understood it the same way as you are. But I am not a big social media fan. But there are a bazillion people out there who think this is the way to go, so I'm just giving it a whirl.
As far as tweeting on someone elses account... I don't even have time to do my own.
But the only way they can use their account is by giving up the info and allowing access. They don't have to if they don't want to. I'm just providing the choices.

twitter now work

Your setup must be different from ours on Twitter. See the difference between your authorisation screen and ours:

Hmm. Maybe I should check some settings? I looked around...I don't know what to change. I don't see anything that is checked that allows those things. <sigh> it's never easy. :(

So, Cathy, did your login end up looking like PictureMojo's? Because that would not scare me off. Your original one did.
I'll go try it again to see how it's set now.
-
Cathy, this time it worked! I got the same "comfortable" login that PictureMojo showed. And I registered for your site without even having to provide my Twitter tag. Wow, that was quick and easy!
I'm going to try this on my own site. Thanks for being a trailblazer!

Cool , glad it worked. I am not the trailblazer, someone else here mentioned this plugin, i just decided to install it tonight. I am hoping i get more registrations/sales.
-
I'm gonna keep an eye on this. Definitely let us know how it works out for you.
-
Will do.

FOLLOWUP
Well, I installed OneAll Social Login a while ago. The setup was easy, as Cathy said, but I can't tell if the social links are working there or not.
Anybody want to give it a try and let me know? I'd appreciate that.
My SYS work-in-progress site is: http://bestnaturestock.com/ (http://bestnaturestock.com/)
Thanks in advance!
-
Did you activate your plugin coz I can't see it yet.
-
I just tried it with my Twitter account. Worked flawlessly. :D

I don't see any social sites as a login option on your register/login page or popup.
Something still needs to be configured it seems...
-

I thought I did. Maybe not everything is set right. Learning curve....!!!!!!
I'll probably work on this tomorrow AM. Too pooped at this point to pursue it tonight.
Thanks for checking. Maybe again tomorrow??

Interesting.
But Login with PayPal needs an integration and probably wont work with a plugin like that. PayPal is way too secure to just let people use their login outside PayPal
https://developer.paypal.com/webapps/developer/docs/classic/products/log-in-with-paypal/
https://developer.paypal.com/webapps/developer/docs/integration/direct/log-in-with-paypal/
I am really hoping Leo will integrate this into the Premium Version

Would you really log into an unknown site using your paypal details? Sounds a bit like logging in using your bank details, no way would I do that. Then again I am one of those people who only logs into sites using that site's details so probably unusual in this respect :)
-
I agree, but then it doesnt make sense for it to be available if paypal doesnt allow it.
Edit: in an attempt to test it, i just discovered none of those social buttons work on my ipad. Hmmm. Will take another look tonight.
snips

If it needs integration and I can't integrate using my own account, why would it work if Leo integrates it? Is it more secure if Leo adds it than if I add it? Doesnt make sense that the person who created the plug-in would even take the time to put it in, write up the detailed instructions, etc. if Paypal didnt allow it. I must just have a setting wrong.
As far as using my paypal account to login on a strange site...I wouldnt use ANY of my accounts to log in this way. But it doesnt seem to stop a whole lot of other people from doing it. :)
I have disabled that button in the meantime.
-
first of all, if it wasnt safe, paypal wouldnt offer that option,
second, I meant its not working on a WP plugin, it has to be integrated on your website. thats why leo has to built it into symbiostock, however, if you can integrate it yourself, it will work too. Of course
-
FB registration worked at Cathy's site.
What I wouldn't like is the fact that you depend on another website (oneall.com) to make it work.
-
I have disabled the Social Login plugin by OneAll (though they did make it handy...I just had reservations about having a third party intermediary) and switched to Wordpress Social Login (thanks Carsten). This plugin was just as simple and doesnt involve anyone else. I am only going to include FB and Twitter for now, though.
I was seeing more registrations with the Social Login plugin, but no sales from that.
-
Cathy, I just tried to register on your site via the WSL and didn't find any way to do that (except the standard SYS login). No social network icons showed up on the registration page. Do you have that set up on your site now?
This is especially interesting since I decided to follow in your tracks in this. Was having problems with the OneAll login system and never got it to work. So after reading your post above, I tried the Wordpress Social Login and Yes!!! I got it to work with both FB and Twitter. I was able to successfully test-login via each one.
With Google, however, no luck. I filled out their form just as I had with FB & T, but when I tried to save it I got this snarky error message: "Cheatin uh?"
Wow! That was a real smack across the face. I repeated the copy-and-paste ID and Secret codes routine, saved again, and got the same message. It doesn't even give me an explanation of why the snarky error message was generated.
Now, would that be WSL providing the snark or Google? I'm guessing it's WSL, but whoever it was, I really didn't appreciate it.
Any thoughts about how this problem might be solved? If I can get past this sticking point with Google, I'll be delighted to recommend WSL to all SYSers.
-
I deleted the plugin in an attempt to solve my missing uploader problem. I will add it back later.
Not sure about the remark. I didnt have issues with googlewhen i set it up for oneall, so not sure.

Martha, I tried to login to your site via FB and you still have it in sandbox mode so its not available to me. I've attached a screenshot...in the Basic Settings, you change it.
I then tried Twitter and it worked like a charm. :)
-
Thanks, Cathy, for doing that! I saw your Twitter registration come in. Nice that they send a notice.
I forgot that FB was just in sandbox mode. Guess it's time to switch to live. I really appreciate your alerting me to that.
-
FB login appears now to be live and working on my site. And this time, the Google setup worked too. No snarky response to the same info that I input this time. Go figure!
I was able to log in both ways to my site, so I'm pretty sure it's all set up. But if anybody else out there is willing to do a test login for me (using FB or Google), I'd really appreciate knowing the plugin works for sure.
Thanks to all for the fine community assistance!
-
Yes, both FB and google seem to be working. I did not go through with registering though. What I don't like is that I don't get to choose which FB account I get to log in with...I don't want to log in with my personal FB account but I would be ok with logging in with cathyslifestockphotos FB page. Same with google. So I backed out of those.
I also would NEVER login this way, on any site, because here is what this plugin is asking when logging in with FB (screenshot attached). I looked around on FB for a setting like Twitter has, the "read only" setting, but didn't see one. :(

Cathy, thanks soooo much for giving me feedback again. I don't blame you for backing out.
Does anybody know a way to allow loggers-in to pick which account is being used? This seems like a problem that's going to affect us all if there's no way to change that.
The developer of the WSL plugin provides a way to contact him. I think I'll do that tomorrow and raise this issue with him. There might be a simple fix. Or not. But we do need to know because it would be a sweet login system if we could straighten that problem out.
Thanks again, Cathy!

Hi
I just installed the Social Login plugin on http://stockimages.glennspecht.com/wp/ (http://stockimages.glennspecht.com/wp/)
Can people give it a quick test?
It was a bit of work and I am still not sure about using this one, but, so far, I have not had any problems.
What I like the most about this plug is being able to use the same settings on different WP sites ( right now I have 4)

Hi Martha....Just saw this. It uses whichever FB account (if user has multiple accounts) that the user trying to log-in is signed into at the time. If a user wants to log-in using a different account they first need to go to FB and log into the account they want then come back to log in to your site.

I was just able to login using my Twitter account with no issues. I first tried with my wordpress.com account and entered my user name, as it says, and I kept getting an error that said "you don't own that identity." I do, because I am logged into my wordpress.com account. But I don't think that is an issue with your setting up the Social Login, it's probably something between oneall and Wordpress.
-
Thank you... and I got the email from the site as well. I will check out wordpress to see if I screwed up... ( Likely)
