Completely manual widget placement?

    Hey,

    This is a really good plugin, but for my requirements I want to place the widget in a very specific location rather than the plugin auto-inserting it into the page. I know the php code for adding the widget, but there doesn’t seem to be an option to NOT add the widget automatically (i.e. rely just on the php code) – I don’t mind editing the plugin itself to achieve this!

    Thanks!

    I also want to know the answer to this question. I really need to place this widget at the start of my sidebar, not at the end where it is automatically placed by the plugin.

    Should be no problem, although the plugin should not be auto inserting. Did you add the shortcode to your footer perhaps or somewhere else in your template code so it displays in your pages?
    Here is how to do it:
    1. Add shortcode in your template file where you need login: <?php do_action( 'wordpress_social_login' ); ?> Check that you didn’t add the shortcode twice.
    If this is not working, also try
    2.Select tab Widget -> Advanced settings -> Widget display and select Display widget only in the comments area (or in the login form)
