Hi @thanosdosis
We register standard WordPress accounts, so just like as if you registered through the standard form on wp-login.php. When someone registers with the social login, they are given a random password by default. So since we register standard WordPress accounts, you will find all their data stored in the “users” table of WordPress. If you want to know which users have a social connection, then we store those in the “social_users” table.
To understand the columns better, here is the description of each column:
- social_users_id – primary key of the social_users table, with auto-increment
- ID – this is the User ID of the WordPress account that was linked to the social media account
- type – identifies the provider the WordPress account has been linked to (it says “fb” if it is a link connected to Facebook)
- identifier – the unique identifier within the social app ( e.g. the ID of a Facebook user ). We usually use the original social media ID returned by the provider, but in rare cases where the ID is not unique, we have to make it unique with a custom logic ( currently, only the Slack provider has such custom logic).
- register_date – contains the date when the user registered with a certain provider. (If it is NULL then the user registered with either a traditional registration form or with another social provider )
- login_date – the date the user logged in the last time
- link_date – the date when the user linked the social media account to the WordPress account
Ok thanks for the quick response! One more question, I use your plugin combined with User Meta. Do the User Meta hooks work when someone registers with social with this plugin?

I am unfamiliar with that plugin, but as long as they work properly with standard WordPress users, it should be fine. You could test it out for your specific use-case, and see if it works as expected. And if there is a conflict with Nextend Social Login, we could take a look at it.
