Step and break everything down so it’s Nice and easy and it is fairly Straightforward once you get going so The first thing we’re going to do is There’s a nice little link here to the Facebook developers website so you can Click that link and I’ll open a new tab Now I’m currently logged into Facebook But if you weren’t logged into Facebook It’ll ask you to log into Facebook first And then it’ll bring you to this page so As you can see I’ve got no apps Currently created in this space so I’m Just going to click the green create app Button up here and the first step is to Select the type of act we want to create So for our purpose we’re going to choose The consumer app type and then click Next so on this screen here we’re going To provide some basic information for The app so we’re going to choose the Display name so for me I’m just going to Choose my website as the display name Next up you can drop in contact email Address at the moment is set to the Default email address connected with Your Facebook account but you might want To change that to a business email Address and then the next step here is An optional step if you want to choose That you can do that then we can hit the Green button over here to create the app It’s going to ask you to enter your Password for your Facebook account so on

This screen here it’s asking us to add Products to our app and the one we want To choose is the Facebook login one Right here so we’re just going to click Setup right there and out of all these Options the one that we want to choose Is the web option right here and once You’ve chosen that option it’s going to Ask you to fill out these options I’m Just going to add the URL of your Website in here and what you can do is If you can go back to your WordPress Dashboard which I’ve got in open another Tab it’s going to give us the exact URL In the steps here so I’m just going to Copy that then head back over to Facebook and paste it back in there Click save we’ll save those changes And then click continue So you can click next on this step also You can click next on this step too and On this step so the next thing we want To do from here is head over to the Sidebar over here on the left and Underneath the product section and the Facebook login section just click on Settings and when you’re on this page What you want to do is you want to add In the valid or three direct URI which Is available back over on your dashboard For your website so if you head back Over there and under step 12 right here Just copy that And then head back over to Facebook and

As well so I’m just going to add that in As well So next we’re going to choose our Category so choose whatever is relevant To you I’m just going to choose business And pages You can also choose to add an app icon If you want so if you’ve got a image That’s 1024 pixels by 1024 pixels then you can Add that in there if we come down Choose to fill in these details if you Want to and then just make sure the site URL is correct at the bottom here as Well and then click on Save changes So currently our app is in development Mode and to switch that to live mode all You do is come up here and click on this Button right here So now our app is in live mode there’s Only a couple of extra things we need to Do so if we come to the Facebook login Section here and click on settings you May have noticed there’s a little Warning at the top here to let us know That we only have standard access on a Couple of things so we’re going to Change that now by clicking get Advanced Access So once we’re on the permissions and Features section there’s two things we Want to get Advanced access on that’s The email section right here and the Public profile which is further on down

This list so we’re going to click on get Advanced access button right here for The email section that gives us this Little pop-up which is asking us that we Agree to the data permissions that are Laid out by Facebook we just gotta click On the little check box here to agree to That and then click on confirm Enter your Facebook password in when you See this pop-up Let’s click submit So once that’s a granted access you’ll See this screen you just need to close That this will pop up right there as you Can see the email has got Advanced Access now now it’s down to the public Profile section Public profile section is right here I’m Just going to go through the same Process of getting the advanced access Click the button right there then Confirm you’re happy with the details Laid out here click the blue confirm Button Enter your Facebook password again on This little pop-up And then click submit And once that’s confirmed you’ll see the Screen again just close this pop-up and As you can see we’ve got both email and Our public profile with Advanced access Once that’s all fully set up then head Over to settings here click on that and Then click on basic and at the top here

You’ve got your app ID and your app Secret so you need to copy them over Into next end on your website so I’m Just going to copy the app ID first then Head over to WordPress dashboard head to Settings Paste your app ID in there Then head back to Facebook Copy your app secret you may need to Click the shoe button to see the full App secret then head back to your WordPress dashboard and paste that in Right here once you’ve added those two In there just click the save changes Button now it’s going to ask you to Verify the configuration so all you need To do is click the verify settings Let’s open this pop-up right here and This is just letting you know that this Is the app that’s requesting access and This and all you need to do is Click Continue with your Facebook profile once That’s verified all you need to do is Click enable And that is the Facebook login button on The login screen setup and we should be Able to see that if we head to our login Screen so I’ve just opened up the login Screen in a incognito window and as you Can see there’s the Facebook button Right there where people can continue Logging in with Facebook so now let’s Take a look at setting up the Google Social login as well

So from here just heads back to Providers now we’re going to configure The Google one so we’re going to click The getting started button and again It’s a very similar process we’re going To follow each one of these steps and go Through it step by step so our first Step is to navigate to the Google Developers console so we’re going to Click on this link right here and it’s Going to open a new tab now your screen Might look a little different to this Because I’ve actually created something In this section before so you might have A create project button or something Like that that you see if you haven’t Worked on the Google Cloud before so for Me all I need to do is come up here and Then click on this drop down that allows Me to come to this section and then Click on new project so on this screen All we need to do is give the project a Name I’m just going to put my demo site And leave the organization and the Location exactly how they are and just Click on the blue create button now once I’m on this screen I can see that I’m Not on the project that I’ve just set up So I’m just going to click this drop Down and click on that project now I’m On that project I can come to the oauth Consent screen we’re just going to set That up So the first thing we’re going to do is
