Setup and Installation Guide

Getting started with WordPress Social Login is straightforward. Follow these steps to integrate it into your site.

4. Copy the API keys from the social network and paste them into the plugin’s settings.

Step 3: Customizing Redirects

Control the user journey after they log in or out. In the plugin settings, you can specify custom URLs to redirect users to a specific page—such as their account dashboard, a welcome page, or the homepage—after a successful login.
