Wordpress allowing users to comment, login and register with social media accounts.

I found another great Wordpress plugin!

I did some research one what plugin I should use to allow users to register and comment to my wordpress site using Facebook, LinkedIN, Windows Live and twitter.

The following plugin I found seems to meet all my needs and it's also a quick easy


Social Login
link to the plugin: http://www.oneall.com/

GOOD: Quick setup, connected to over 20+ social media sites, didn't get any errors with the installation to my wordpress directory website. http://georgiahealthcareprofessionals.com

BAD: when connecting the social media app to the API you have to use a sub-domain that is provided by oneall.com
- explained when the user connects to your site they are redirected to http://yourdomain.oneall.com then your app after they log in they are returned back to your site and you can choose what information you want the application to get access to.
The bad part about this that normally Facebook apps use http://yourdomain.com so you will need to create a new app or change the link to your current app which can brake any other plugins you might have that are using  http://yourdomain.com

my recommendation is to create a new Facebook app instead of changing the link to your old one.

here is a screen print of how it looks on your blog or website:
