eMember and wordpress facebook/twitter/linkedin etc login

[carla]

Hello

I am considering using facebook, twitter and linkedin to allow user registration in wordpress site. Will this work with eMember?

My goal is that when a user registers with one of those services, he is taken to the eMember profile page.

Thank you

Who will handle the registration? You are going to use another plugin that will create a WordPress user?

Yes, I will try to find the best plugin for allowing users to register using their own social accounts like facebook, twitter, facebook, google, etc

[admin]

In that case we can add in a feature in eMember that will automatically create an eMember user in the background when someone registers for a WordPress user account via this *other plugin* that you will be using.

Tell me something: if that other plugin creates already a wordpress user, and if eMember is set-up to create a member from the wordpress users, it will still be necessary to create any feature, or it will work like this?

[admin]

The feature we just added will simply create an eMember user in the background whenever a WP user is created by any plugin. This way when the User logs into WP it will get logged in eMember too and will be able to see the protected content permitted by his membership level.

Go to the Admin Functions menu of eMember plugin and then go to the section titled the following:

Automatically Create eMember Account When a WordPress User Account is Created

Enable it and then you can use a facebook login plugin to allow facebook loging:
