This login method will help customers whom already had Facebook/ Google Account can sign-up/login quickly on your site.
Social Login allows your users to quickly sign in or register to your website using their existing social media accounts, without having to remember another password.
Our Golo Theme is designed to seamlessly integrate with any third-party Social Login plugin via Shortcodes. This guide will show you how to set it up step-by-step using Nextend Social Login (one of the most popular, free, and beginner-friendly plugins available).
Since the Golo theme uses a Shortcode to display the social login buttons, you will first need a dedicated plugin to handle the connections:
Log in to your WordPress Admin Dashboard.
Navigate to Plugins > Add New from the left sidebar.
In the search bar on the top right, type: Nextend Social Login.
Look for the plugin named Nextend Social Login and Register. Click on Install Now.
Once the installation is complete, click Activate.
For your website to connect with Facebook and Google, you need to provide an App ID and an App Secret.
From your WordPress Dashboard, go to Settings > Nextend Social Login.
You will see configuration panels for various social networks, including Facebook and Google.
Click the Getting Started button under the network you want to configure.
The plugin provides extremely detailed, step-by-step visual instructions on how to create the necessary Apps on Facebook/Google to obtain your ID and Secret keys. Follow those instructions carefully.
Once configured, verify your settings and Enable the networks you wish to use.
Golo comes with a beautifully designed login popup right out of the box. All you have to do is paste the plugin's Shortcode into the Golo Theme Options:
Go back to your WordPress Dashboard.
Find and click on Golo > Theme Options in the left menu.
Scroll down and click on the Login Option tab.
Next to Enable Social Login, toggle the switch to On.
In the Social Login Shortcode text box, paste the following shortcode exactly as written: [nextend_social_login]
Scroll down to the bottom and click Save Options.
