Widget not shown for comments

    For the social login widget to appear for comments, I have to enable the following option under Settings->Discussion:

    Users must be registered and logged in to comment

    This allows anyone to post a comment anonymously and defeats the purpose of using the social login widget. I am using the default twenty twelve theme with WordPress 3.5.1 and the latest plugin release.

    That is the one annoying thing about this plugin. Apparently you have to have a theme that actually accepts the hooks for the comments section. Many, like the default Twenty-Twelve and Skeleton, do not show this plugin in that spot because they lack the ability.

    You have two choices:

    • To manually enter the API call into the comments.php file (around line 57, you might want to comment that one out).
    • Use Theme My Login to change the (normally hidden) login page for your site into something that is integrated into what looks like its own page. The login page *will* have social login options.

    I chose the latter option. Good luck.
