Hi @goustas
If you did extra steps, other than the ones that we mentioned in the Getting Started guide – e.g. you set an App logo -, then yes, you will need to submit your Google app for verification and the App won’t work until the App verification is completed. This is the first problem.
The second problem is that, the page where we try to handle the OAuth flow over, is not accessible. By default it is the /wp-login.php page, but in your case that seems to be protected by captcha, and probably a firewall, too. So we won’t be able to get there since whenever we redirect the user to that URL to start the OAuth flow, your site will automatically redirect to the homepage, which breaks our OAuth flow as well.
When the WordPress default login page is not accessible, you should force Nextend Social Login to handle the OAuth flow and the Register flow over other public pages that you don’t use for anything else and excluded from all kind of caching.
For this you need to use our “OAuth redirect uri proxy page” and “Page for register flow” settings. Both of these can be found in our Global settings > General tab:
and you should configure them in the following way:
- For the Page for register flow:?You should create a new page and add the shortcode into it: [nextend_social_login_register_flow] then select that page for this setting. Extra information before the registration with social login – like Terms and Conditions – would be asked on this page. (?Make sure you don’t use this page for anything else!?)
- For the OAuth redirect uri proxy page:?You should create?another?new and completely empty page (?that you won’t use for anything else either?) and select it as OAuth redirect uri proxy page. Once it is done, the redirect URL of each configured provider will change, as the OAuth flow will be handled over this new page instead of the /wp-login.php page. So, you will need to add the new redirect URLs into each of your configured Apps again. ( Nextend Social Login will also warn you about this with a message, where you can see all the steps, but actually, you can find the redirect URLs in the Getting Started section of the providers, too. – The redirect URLs are the URLs that usually contain this query string: “?loginSocial=” )
Once it is done, clicking on the social button should redirect you to Google where you can authenticate, once your App is verified by Google.
Best regards,
Laszlo.
