Gmail (Google) Login - WP Residence Help

This option is enabled/disabled from theme options – social and contact – social accounts:

Google Login requires you to create an APP. See ALL the steps.. CREATE A PROJECT

Step1: Login with your Google account at https://console.developers.google.com and create a project

Step2: Create Credentials

Go to Credentials > Then to Oauth consent screen:

Type the name and optional homepage url. Save.

Next, create the credentials:

Step3: Create Client ID

Select to create OAuth ID

Select web name, add site url, and add redirect URI (which must be the My Profile Page URL)

Add the My Profile link from your WP Residence installation.

To take My Profile page Redirect URI, go to your WordPress Installation as logged in> My Profile

Copy the URL you see for “My Profile” page as use it as “Redirect URI” in the APP configuration

Click create. Close when done. You still have to create part 2 of the API and you can copy all credentials after that.

Step4: Create API Key

Go to credentials and create API Key

Note: Don’t add any HTTP referrer for this API key used (Google Login needs a key with no referrer)

Step5: GO TO Library > select Social

Enable Google+ API library

Step6: COPY DETAILS TO THEME OPTIONS – SOCIAL & CONTACT

Click on the name to get CLIENT ID and CLIENT SECRET

Copy the keys in theme options

Copy the API key as well

Notes:

Site visitors that will login to the site using Gmail login option will become regular users.
Use as a separate API KEY just for login to avoid mixing Google MAPS api (which requires billing) from Google login API.
When logging in with Google we only import user email addresses. If google login doesn’t show any email – it means there is already a user with that email address.
