Automatic email detection?

    Hi.
    This plugin is excellent, but there is one problem. At the time of the first login is offered an additional action: add email. But I myself would have left such a site, so as not to bother with such unnecessary actions. So I disabled it in the settings.
    But why does the plugin not see email automatically (for example, like WSL plugin)? Why should someone additionally indicate their email? Is it possible to solve this problem? Thank you.

    Hi,

    Thanks for the appreciation.
    Some social networks, like – Twitter, Steam, Instagram and LiveJournal do not provide email address of the user with other profile data. There is nothing we can do at our end to fetch email from these networks. However, in case of Twitter, you can check Request email addresses from users checkbox in the settings of your Twitter app, to fetch email address of the user. See step 5 https://support.heateor.com/how-to-get-twitter-api-key-and-secret/

    Thank you for the quick response. The fact is that my site is for a Russian. So, only Vkontakte is actual for us. I used another plugin, WSL, but it conflicts with my security setting (“hide login page”), in fact, it displayed my hidden url for each. Your plugin is ideal in this regard. But WSL saw email automatically. Hence, it is possible. That plugin required a secret application key (i have it), but your plugin requires id only. Maybe the problem is because of this? Not enough field? Perhaps you have ideas or recommendations for adding a code? Anyway, I’m grateful for the link, I’ll try to figure it out.

    Sorry, for now our plugin cannot fetch email address from Vkontakte. We will try to include this feature in our plugin ASAP.
