Description

The Social Login addon adds social network authentication buttons to the registration and login forms of Directorist, allowing visitors to create accounts or log into the directory using external providers without manually filling out fields. The extension speeds up onboarding for those registering businesses, listings, and profiles, reducing the typical friction of long forms and increasing the sign-up completion rate on listing sites built with Directorist.

Main Features

  • Social authentication in Directorist: enables login and registration through external providers directly in the directory’s user forms.
  • Buttons on signup and login screens: inserts social authentication icons next to the standard email and password fields of Directorist.
  • Automatic profile creation: generates WordPress user registration based on data returned by the social provider, with no manual typing.
  • Existing account linking: connects the social session to a user already registered in the directory when the email matches.
  • Configuration in the Directorist dashboard: centralizes API keys, provider activation, and display settings within the base plugin’s own admin area.

Benefits of Social Login

  • Faster registration: reduces the number of manually filled fields and shortens the path to the first published listing.
  • Lower form abandonment: visitors who don’t want to create another password can sign in with an existing identity.
  • Consistent user base: basic data from the provider fills the profile without errors in email and name typing.
  • Centralized operation: social authentication is integrated into Directorist’s native flow, without the need for parallel login screens.

Who Is It For?

  • Online directory operators built with Directorist looking to simplify the registration of advertisers and visitors.
  • Local listings marketplaces, business guides, and classified portals focused on high volume sign-ups.
  • Agencies and developers delivering directory projects who need to reduce friction in end-user onboarding.

Designed for listing sites dependent on a continuous flow of new registrations, this component delivers social authentication integrated with Directorist without requiring theme customization or parallel login plugins. The practical result is a shorter path between visitor arrival and the publication of the first listing, with profiles created automatically from the chosen provider.
