Posted on October 23, 2020October 15, 2022 by Rajat Varlani

As part of Graph API v8.0, Facebook has made changes to the token requirements. These changes will impact the social avatar this plugin integrates at your website after your website visitors login via Facebook login. These changes will take effect on October 23, 2020 @ 10AM PDT. More details here
Latest version of Heateor Login plugin ensures compatibility with these changes. If you don’t update the plugin to this version, after October 23, 2020 social avatar of the users of your website who used Facebook login to login to your website may appear broken.
After you update the plugin to this version, your website users (whose profile picture at your website is saved from their Facebook accounts) need to login at least once via Facebook login at your website to continue showing their Facebook avatar.

We have updated the official Facebook PHP SDK being used in the plugin to the latest version available.

Now there is a new column in the Users table that allows administrators of the website to delete the social profile data being saved when website visitors use Facebook login. This feature could be handy when any user of your website wishes to revoke the consent to save their personal data they granted at the time they used Facebook login to login to your website.

Since WordPress 5.5 the (?) icon right next to the options at the plugin configuration page had disappeared. This has been fixed in this version.

Plugin is now compatible with the add-on Social Login Buttons that offers three premium themes along with the option to customize the text on the social login buttons. It can be installed separately along with the Heateor Social Login plugin to replace the default set of social login icons with the premium icons.

Facebook login icon was broken, Windows Live login and Line login were not working in the social account linking section. Changing the language of the website at front-end was breaking social login in some cases.
