    I’ve got the Google login working and added all the Google People API scopes to my Google app, however it doesn’t fetch the profile picture and set it as the avatar. My Google App is “internal” to my organisation, if that makes any difference of not. Please help.

    Hi @jkdsouljah

    Please check these 2 options:
    1. The “store” option on the Privacy tab:
    https://nextendweb.com/nextend-social-login-docs/global-settings-privacy/
    and ensure “Avatar” is selected there.
    2. The “Sync data” settings for Google:
    https://nextendweb.com/nextend-social-login-docs/provider-google/#sync_data
    and ensure the “Sync fields” checkboxes are enabled.

    Internal app type shouldn’t make a difference, it only determines who can use your app. So with an internal app type, anyone that is part of your organization, but not random users.

    Those 2 options are on. I’ve re-tested again and again to no avail.

    In this case I find it possible that we actually stored the avatar, just your theme / user profiler plugin doesn’t try to use the WordPress avatars at all, e.g. it has a custom avatar system.

    To figure this out, please:

    • check if the avatar shows up in the WordPress default users table ( by default it is the /wp-admin/users.php )
    • send us link of the website where the problem occurs
    • and change your Google app type to external, so I could try the registration with the Google social login as well

    Note: this is a public forum. If you don’t want to share the URL of your website here, then feel free to open a support ticket here:

    refer to this topic, and we will continue it there.

    Best regards,
    Laszlo.
