Social Login — GitHub Setup

Let developers and technical users sign in with GitHub. Requires WP ULike Pro.

Step 1: Create a GitHub OAuth app

1. Open GitHub Developer Settings → OAuth Apps.
2. Click New OAuth App (or Register a new application).
3. Fill in:
   • Application name — e.g. WP ULike Social Login
   • Homepage URL — https://yourdomain.com
   • Authorization callback URL — from WP ULike settings (Step 2 below)
4. Click Register application.
5. Copy the Client ID.
6. Click Generate a new client secret if no secret is shown — copy the Client Secret immediately (GitHub shows it once).

Step 2: Configure WP ULike

1. Go to WP ULike → Settings → Social Logins.
2. Enable Social Logins.
3. Add a network and choose GitHub.
4. Copy the Callback URL from settings:

https://yourdomain.com/?ulp-api=auth&provider=GitHub

5. Paste it into GitHub’s Authorization callback URL field.
6. Enter Client ID and Client Secret in WP ULike.
7. Optional: Auto Display on forms, or [wp_ulike_pro_social_login] on a profile tab so existing users can link GitHub.
8. Save settings.

Step 3: Test

1. Open your login page (or profile page with the shortcode).
2. Click GitHub.
3. Authorize the app on GitHub.
4. Confirm redirect back to your site with a successful login.

Verify the WordPress user profile reflects GitHub account details.
