 * I have just installed and configured the plugin as mentioned in the documentations
   and still i am getting the error “Authentication failed. Either you have cancelled
   the authentication or Facebook refused the connection”. I have tried both the
   APIs google and facebook.
    The detailed error is ξ Authentication failed! Facebook
   returned an invalid user id. 400. {“error”:{“message”:”Error validating client
   secret.”,”type”:”OAuthException”,”code”:1,”fbtrace_id”:”CzMvpkJLrUG”}}
