Social login not working with Wordfence premium

    I am just curious if any other users have experience (and found a fix/workaround) for using Social Login with Wordfence premium version. I was previously using the free version and Social Login was working without issues but upon upgrading the other day to the paid premium version users cannot login via Social Login.

    If I disable Wordfence or downgrade to the free version it works again. I am wondering if anyone else has found this issue and had it resolved. Appreciate any feedback.

    Has anyone else experience this issue with Wordfence “premium” (paid version) that can offer advice on how to resolve it? Thank you.

    Would you explain how the Social Login is not working?

    When I have Wordfence installed in the free state (non-premium) there is no issue, the user can logon by clicking the social network icon (FB in this case).

    As soon as I enable the premium version of Wordfence the issue begins (no new plugin is installed for this). When the user then attempts to log in again (after having logged out before) and clicks the same FB button the animated status bar appears and the page refreshes but the user is still in the logged out state.

    When I then go and downgrade the Wordfence installation to the standard version the issue disappears. It appears it is may be a Wordfence issue (I have a ticket still open with them but it has not been resolved yet) so I thought I would inquire on this end to see if anyone else has experienced the same and resolved it and possibly found the cause/fix.

    Thank you.

    Thanks for the explanation.
    Seems something related to the Wordfence’s functionality. Our plugin is the same in both the cases you described. Let us know if you get to know something that we can include/change in our plugin to resolve this.

    Just to update that I have done some further testing and found that if I disable ”
    Block access to the login form” in the country blocking section that Social Login works even with the Wordfence Premium level configured.

    I do not know how to resolve this at the moment but it is a work around to get Social Login working. I am leaving this a note for other users who may have a similar experience.

    If anyone resolves it please reply in this thread. Many thanks.

    Try replacing existing wp-content/plugins/super-socializer/inc/social_login.php file with the file at following link:

    And let us know if it makes any difference.
