nathan.noom on "[Plugin: WordPress Social Login] Twitter is the odd one out!"

I love your plugin. It rocks. Thanks for making it!

We allow our users to login with:

Facebook
Google+
Instagram
LinkedIn
Twitter
Microsoft

Everything plays nicely except Twitter. I can login to my account using any of the others and all is well, but if I use Twitter, it does not recognise me and creates a new account for me.

How can I make it so that the system knows to assign the Twitter login to the correct existing account?

Kind regards

Hey Alec, I'm in the same predicament. To actually retrieve the email address from Twitter, you need to have your app whitelisted. If not, it won't even pull that data back in the first place. But now my app IS whitelisted, and it still doesn't appear to be pulling back the email and associating it with an existing account. I'm doing some debugging on the plugin to see if it really is on their end, or on mine, and will let you know if I come across anything. Please also let me know if you figure out a solution.

OK, it tus out that if your application is whitelisted, it is pulling back the email address from Twitter. Problem is, if it sees that that email already exists, it creates a new user instead of updating the existing one.
