    Hi,
    If the User uses FB, Twitter or G+ to register via Social Login – Does it extract the user’s EMAIL ID and import that into the UsersWP profile?
    Because obtaining Email Id is very important for me.

    Thanks,
    Alph

    I don’t think it does for Twitter, but because Twitter doesn’t provide the email used to register through their API.

    I asked to the developers to confirm… They’ll let you know asap.

    Thanks

    Yes some social networks, don’t provide email address. In such case a random email address is generated to satisfy wordpress requirement.

    Each network setting page has a checkbox to ask for email and username.

    If you check them, user need to fill the email to proceed.

    Hope that helps.

    Thanks
