4. Create the app and copy Client ID and Client Secret.

Step 2: Configure WP ULike

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

5. Paste into WordPress.com Redirect URLs.
6. Enter Client ID and Client Secret in WP ULike.
7. Optional: Auto Display or [wp_ulike_pro_social_login] on login/profile pages.
8. Save settings.

Step 3: Test

1. Open your login page in a private window.
2. Click the WordPress.com button.
3. Sign in at WordPress.com.
