Description
Ultra minimal plugin to let your users login to WordPress applications using their Google accounts. No more remembering hefty passwords!
Initial Setup
Create a project from
Google Developers Console
if none exists.
Go to
Credentials
tab, then create credential for OAuth client.
Application type will be
Web Application
Add
YOUR_DOMAIN/wp-login.php
in
Authorized redirect URIs
This will give you
Client ID
and
Secret key
Input these values either in
WP Admin > Settings > WP Google Login
, or in
wp-config.php
using the following code snippet:
define( 'WP_GOOGLE_LOGIN_CLIENT_ID', 'YOUR_GOOGLE_CLIENT_ID' );
define( 'WP_GOOGLE_LOGIN_SECRET', 'YOUR_SECRET_KEY' );
Browser support
These browsers are supported
. Note, for example, that One Tap Login is not supported in Safari.
How to enable automatic user registration
You can enable user registration either by
– Enabling
Settings > WP Google Login > Enable Google Login Registration
OR
Adding
define( 'WP_GOOGLE_LOGIN_USER_REGISTRATION', 'true' );
in wp-config.php file.
Note:
If the checkbox is ON then, it will register valid Google users even when WordPress default setting, under
Settings > General Settings > Membership > Anyone can register
checkbox
is OFF.
Restrict user registration to one or more domain(s)
By default, when you enable user registration via constant
WP_GOOGLE_LOGIN_USER_REGISTRATION
or enable
Settings > WP Google Login > Enable Google Login Registration
, it will create a user for any Google login (including gmail.com users). If you are planning to use this plugin on a private, internal site, then you may like to restrict user registration to users under a single Google Suite organization. This configuration variable does that.
Add your domain name, without any schema prefix and
www,
as the value of
WP_GOOGLE_LOGIN_WHITELIST_DOMAINS
constant or in the settings
Settings > WP Google Login > Whitelisted Domains
. You can whitelist multiple domains. Please separate domains with commas. See the below example to know how to do it via constants:
define( 'WP_GOOGLE_LOGIN_WHITELIST_DOMAINS', 'example.com,sample.com' );
Note:
If a user already exists, they
will be allowed to login with Google
regardless of whether their domain is whitelisted or not. Whitelisting will only prevent users from
registering
with email addresses from non-whitelisted domains.
Hooks
For a list of all hooks please refer to
this documentation
wp-config.php parameters list
WP_GOOGLE_LOGIN_CLIENT_ID
(string): Google client ID of your application.
WP_GOOGLE_LOGIN_SECRET
(string): Secret key of your application
WP_GOOGLE_LOGIN_USER_REGISTRATION
(boolean) (optional): Set
true
If you want to enable new user registration. By default, user registration defers to
Settings > General Settings > Membership
if constant is not set.
WP_GOOGLE_LOGIN_WHITELIST_DOMAINS
(string) (optional): Domain names, if you want to restrict login with your custom domain. By default, it will allow all domains. You can whitelist multiple domains.
BTW, We’re Hiring!

Works as advertised, SImple and easy to use.
For multiple social login accounts, I prefer Nextend Social Login and Register.

But for internal web or website that has only admin team, no users, I think this plugin is the best.
works fine for one site but not for multisite, need to add a notice about it
As of writing, will register a new user regardless of this setting, which prevents me from using it at the moment:Enable Google Login Registration
Works as expected but the important part is that is customization friendly (ex. shortcodes) and easy to set up. Thank you
Half of the plug-ins simply do not work, the other can be configured only when the pigs fly. But this plugin is configured in just a couple of clicks and works stably. And just because it is one of the few workers I am writing this and rate with 5 stars
