About Stitchz Social Login

-
Go to the WordPress Admin counsel, then click “Plugins”.

Configuration
Before using Stitchz Social Login, you must setup an application at: https://login.stitchz.net/. Once you application has been setup, continue with
the steps below.
-
Login to your WordPress site as an Administrator, and go to the WordPress Admin counsel.
-
Click “Settings > Permalinks”
-
Change the default way WordPress handles web URLs. Under “Common Settings”, select any option except “Default”, and click “Save Changes”. This will modify the .htaccess rewrite rules.
-
Next, click “Plugins”.
-
Navigate to the Stitchz Social Login plugin in the plugins list and click “Activate”.
-
Then, click “Configure”.
-
Copy your App Url, ApiKey, AppSecret, and Return Url from your Stitch application into the appropriate fields in the Stitchz Social Login API Settings form. All fields with “(required)” are, you guessed it, required.
The “Return Url” is your WordPress website’s full web address plus the Stitchz WordPress end point (‘/stitchz_social_login/auth’), i.e. https://www.yourwebsiteaddress.com/stitchz_social_login/auth
-
Next, select the API Version to run. The “Standard Login” option is a basic authentication request used to only authenticate a user. The “OAuth 2 Login” option sends an OAuth 2.0 authenticated request to the Stitchz API and returns a valid OAuth 2.0 token. The token can be used later to make authorized requests to Stitchz.

Confirm your Stitchz Login API Settings before moving on to the next section.
