Nextend Social Login

[bfralick]

Hey guys,

After a search on the forums, it seems others are running Nextend Social Login successfully. On my site, I am having issues with it. Nextend confirmed the issue on their end as well. A developer confirmed there is a conflict with AliDropship due to an encrypted file. My site is using El Greco Woo.

Has anyone run into a similar issue? Is there a mod here I can message and speak with privately? Need to get this up and running for store launch.

Thanks!

Hi

I've not had a similar issue but I am aware that AliDropship files are encrypted using IonCube Loader. If you need assistance your best bet is to contact support through live chat via the main AliDropship website - they always reply to my queries within 24hrs and you'll be able to get technical support through there as well (if not then they'll direct you as necessary). It will be quicker to contact them through that chat then to wait on the forums.

Thanks

I bet you are using Flatsome. I always had problems with Nextend. I now use the official Woocommerce Social Login with no problems.

Not necessarily. You can launch your store without social login in the meantime until you find a suitable one. Customers can still create and login to an account if they wish to do so. In my experience, not many do anyway. They just look, buy, check out and go.

What is this mysterious 'buy' and 'check out' you speak of? I only dream of experiencing such wonders ok ok kidding I'll get back in my box.

El Greco theme :/

El Greco theme

El Greco Woo I hope. (Alidropship copied the setup process and 3rd party plugins it installs from Flatsome, that's why I thought you had Flatsome)

But no difference, Nextend sucks. The official Woocommerce one has no problems for me. I know of a place to get it for free and free updates, but I'm sick of explaining the safety of it to paranoid people and refuse to go into it all again. Do a search here for "Free Premium Woocommerce plugins" to find my previous post/s on it.

Make sure to grab the "Yith Share for Discounts" one too. It's fantastic. And sometimes it takes a couple of weeks or more for them to update some plugins ... don't worry about it, your site won't explode while you're waiting. They send regular emails to you with a list of the plugins they have recently updated.

How do you prefer to go about the manual updates? Just FTP files from new version? I'm assuming plug-in settings won't be affected as they are stored in a DB not the files?

You can just deactivate/delete ... upload/activate. All settings are retained in the database. This is the same process that happens automatically when you update normally from the Wordpress Admin/Plugins area, except Wordpress puts your site into Maintenance Mode temporarily while it does it. Good idea if you do too if it's a live site.

But I have multiple sites so I do it via the cPanel/File Manager and update one site first by uploading the new zip/s/deleting the old plugin folder, unzipping the zip, then copy the zip to the other sites Plugin folders. Then I go to each site and delete the plugin folder/unzsip/delete zip ... done.

Or if just a single site and plugin you could just delete the old plugin folder via FTP and upload the new (unzipped) plugin folder.

However you do it ... put your site into Maintenance mode if it's a live site. (Get a "Maintenance" plugin).
