When a user registers via a social account, Nextend Social Login grabs their profile picture and sets it as the WordPress account avatar. When the user registers via another provider, this new registration might change their profile picture as every provider asks down and stored by the plugin.

When a user registers with multiple accounts, it depends on the provider ordering which profile picture will be added as their avatar.

Let’s see an example. The provider order is the following:

  • X (formerly Twitter)
  • Facebook
  • LinkedIn
  • Google+

The user registers via LinkedIn. Nextend Social Login fetches the LinkedIn profile picture and sets it as the user’s WordPress avatar.

Then the user registers via Facebook. Their WordPress avatar will be changed to the Facebook profile picture, as it’s higher in the provider’s ordering.

Now, if the user registers via Google, their WordPress user avatar will remain the same as their Facebook profile picture.
