Login Buttons Configuration
Each enabled network provider needs to be set up for the login buttons to work. Click the cog icon to configure. You can add login buttons for Facebook, Twitter, Google, Instagram and LinkedIn.
Please follow our step-by-step guides to set up an app for your social network if you don’t already have one. This will give you API credentials to enter into the Social Login settings page to configure the selected social network.

Once you have all enabled social providers configured, the notice warning you that the networks are not setup correctly should disappear.

Shortcode & Widget
Social Login Addon for Social Snap provides a shortcode and a widget enabling you to place the login buttons anywhere on the page.
For logged out users, this will ask them to sign in. For logged-in users, they will see a box with their profile info.
Shortcode
To create the shortcode for your page, you can use the Social Snap Shortcode Generator. In order to start the shortcode generator, press the Social Snap MCE Button or button with the Social Snap icon when you’re on the Add New or Edit page.
Go to the Social Login tab and fill in the shortcode parameters. After you are done filling in the options, click the Insert button and the shortcode should appear in your content.
If you want to manually build your shortcode, please look at the available Social Login shortcode params.
Social Login Widget
Social Login Widget is located in Appearance > Widgets. Add the widget to your sidebar or any widget area.
If you are using a different set of Social Networks than the default ones in Social Snap Settings, make sure that all are configured correctly, otherwise the buttons will not work properly.
