Migration Process

    Hello, we are working on a large user migration for a client. Their current system is NOT WordPress, and their next system will be WordPress running Paid Memberships Pro. We are planning on exporting and then importing over all of the accounts that currently exist in the old system and creating WordPress accounts for each of them. However, some of them currently use Google and Facebook as their login method, which we have done on other sites with your plugin. If these users come into the new system, how could we make sure they are able to access their account via the social login? Is this even possible or do they need to reconnect their account via your plugin? Is there some data that could be exported from the old system that would make this easier?

    Also, I forgot to mention, all of the accounts will have the same email address in the new system that they had in the old system, in case that helps.

    Hi @hrood!

    With an account, only the email address matters. So it doesn’t matter if originally it comes from a different Google or Facebook login, only the WordPress user’s email address would be important for our system. There would be two cases, when a user is already registered on the website:

    1. The user tries to login with our plugin with a social account that uses the same email address that is used at the WordPress user:
      Our system automatically connects the social user with the already registered WordPress user.
    2. The user’s social account’s email address is different from the WordPress user’s email address:
      We have a shortcode, that you could provide for logged in users:
      [nextend_social_login link="1" unlink="1" heading="Connect Social Accounts"]
      This could be used for the given user, that after logging in using traditional WordPress login, our social login button could be pressed, to connect his/her social user with the current WordPress account.

    So with our plugin, users would need to reconnect to their account, with either of these methods.
