 * I’m trying to determine if PMPro will work if I modify the user authentication
   for wordpress using one of the many social connect plugins like [http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/nextend-google-connect/](http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/nextend-google-connect/)
   or one I build myself like [http://ben.lobaugh.net/blog/7175/wordpress-replace-built-in-user-authentication](http://ben.lobaugh.net/blog/7175/wordpress-replace-built-in-user-authentication)

 * It will work. You just need to setup your workflow so that users register using
   the other plugins/etc and THEN get to the PMPro checkout page already logged 
   in.
