Telegram Web App data

The plugin can also handle the data sent by the Telegram Web App. Simply send window.Telegram.WebApp.initData query string to this URL:

http://<your-website.com>/?action=wptelegram_login&source=WebAppData

The final URL might look like this:

http://<your-website.com>/?action=wptelegram_login&source=WebAppData&query_id=XXXX&user=XXXX&auth_date=XXXX&hash=XXXX

The plugin will:

  • Validate the data for you
  • Create a user account for the user if it doesn’t exist
  • Login the user to the website in the context of your Web App.

Note: You need to use the same bot token for both the plugin and the Web App.

Installation

Automatic installation

Automatic installation is the easiest way — WordPress will handle the file transfer, and you won’t need to leave your web browser. To do an automatic install of the plugin:

  • Log in to your WordPress dashboard
  • Navigate to the Plugins menu, and click “Add New”
  • In the search field type “wptelegram-login” and hit Enter
  • Locate the plugin in the list of search results
  • Click on “Install Now” and wait for the installation to complete
  • Click on “Activate”

Manual installation

Manual installation method requires downloading the plugin and uploading it to your web server via your favorite FTP application. The official WordPress documentation contains instructions on how to do this here.

Updating

Automatic updates should work smoothly, but we still recommend you back up your site.

Frequently asked questions

How to create a Telegram Bot

How do I create a bot?.

Can I display button more than once on a page

Sorry, that’s not possible because Telegram allows only a single button per page.

I see “Bot domain invalid” message

Please follow the instructions given on the WP Telegram Login settings page. It looks like you missed one that says to send the /setdomain command to @BotFather.
