Page for register flow

You need to set Terms and conditions to Show in ‘ Global Settings → Privacy tab ‘ for this feature to work.
When a page is selected, Terms and Conditions will be displayed on that page, however it is necessary to add the shortcode [nextend_social_login_register_flow] to the selected page. By default the Terms and Conditions appear on /wp-login.php.

OAuth redirect uri proxy page

When a page is selected, that page will handle the OAuth flow. Keep in mind that, you must change your Oauth Redirect URI for every App you configured. By default the OAuth flow is handled by /wp-login.php.

After setting an OAuth redirect uri proxy page you will need to manually add the new OAuth redirect URI at every app you configured.

Important: You won’t be able to reach the selected page unless a social login/registration happens. For this reason, make sure you select a page what you won’t be using for anything else.

Prevent external redirect overrides

By turning this option on, external redirects will be disabled.

Default redirect url

• for Login: You can use a custom URL, where the user lands after logging in, in that case, when redirect does not appear in the URL.
• for Register: You can use a custom URL, where the user lands after registration (on the first login), in that case, when redirect does not appear in the URL.

Fixed redirect url

• for Login: You can use a custom URL where the user lands after every login. Select this option, when you want to redirect to a specific page after logging in, regardless of the previous location.
• for Register: You can use a custom URL where the user lands after registration (on the first login). Select this option, when you want to redirect to a specific page after registration, regardless of the previous location.

Blacklisted redirects

You can specify URLs, where you don’t want to be redirected after logging in with NSL. One URL per line!

Support login restrictions

When enabled, registration with a provider will no longer allow users to log in with their social accounts if the registration on the website is flagged for admin approval or email verification by a plugin that is supported by us. You can find the full documentation of login restriction here.

Redirect overlay

Defines the appearance of the redirect overlay that is displayed when Nextend Social Login starts the redirect after the authentication.

• No overlay: there will be no overlay, so people can interact with your site after the redirect starts.
• Display overlay: there will be a semi transparent and blurred overlay on the site that prevents the interaction with the site when the redirect starts, so people can’t click links accidentally before the login happens.
• Display overlay with spinner: same as “Display overlay” but a spinner will also appear in the middle of the overlay.
• Display overlay with spinner and message: same as “Display overlay with spinner” but a message will also appear below the spinner, which informs visitors about the redirect.

-Available since: 3.1.3
