VKontakte

Enable login in WordPress

1. Create VKontakte App

1. Navigate here.
2. Log in with your VK credentials if you are not logged in.
3. Open the VK for developers page.
4. In the sidebar on the left side, click on “Connect VK ID” then click on the “Go to service” button.
   Note: If you don’t have a developer account connected already, then you will need to continue with your VK account, authorize VK, select an account type and complete some forms in order to create a developer account.
5. Click the “Add apps” button.
6. Enter a name for your app, and at the platforms, enable the “Web” option.
7. Select an image, then click on the”Next” button!
8. Fill the “Base domain” field with your domain name.
9. Add the URL to the “Trusted redirect URL” field that Nextend Social Login suggests on the backend. (Currently step 10 on the backend)
10. Press the “Create app” button.
11. Click on the “Set up later” link ( as you don’t need those widgets, we have our own buttons ).
12. You will end up on the “App” page, scroll down to the “App information” section where you can find the “App ID” and “Secure key“. You will need these for the fields with the same name on the “Settings” tab in Nextend Social Login.

2. App setup

Once your VKontakte app is ready you’ll need to copy and paste the Application ID and Secure key to the VKontakte provider’s Settings tab. You can find the information at your VKontakte app’s Settings which you can reach from the left sidebar.

3. Verifying

Once your Application ID and Secure key has been added you need to verify the setup first. This verification helps you identify possible problems with the app.
