 * Are you planning to abandon [WordPress Social Login](https://wordpress.org/plugins/wordpress-social-login/)
   and replace it with PixelPin Social Login?
 * Also, are you planning to make this a paid plugin?

 * No. WordPress Social Login is maintained by someone else. I created this plugin
   because the author of wordpress social login didn’t seem to be doing much development
   and I couldn’t get the pixelpin provider added to the original plugin.
 * If the original plugin ever includes the pixelpin provider, we might delete this
   plugin.
 * This will never be a paid plugin although a PixelPin developer account for more
   than so many users (currently several 1000s but not completely decided yet) will
   eventually be paid-for. Currently, it costs nothing to create PixelPin developer
   accounts, charging might be introduced late this year or next year.

 * Ok. I was confused as [@miled](https://wordpress.org/support/users/miled/) (who’s
   the author of WordPress Social Login) is listed as the author of this plugin.

 * Yes, sorry about that! I was unsure as to what to put for the author because 
   it is basically his plugin with a few changes for PixelPin!

 * Hi,
 * I have merged your PR into WSL and the next version will be released soon.
 * Would you please go to [https://github.com/hybridauth/WordPress-Social-Login](https://github.com/hybridauth/WordPress-Social-Login),
   get the code and check if your provider works correctly? If not, you’re welcome
   to submit a new PR to fix it.
 * Also, I would like to ask you if you could remove me as the author. However, 
   if you want to keep the plugin, that’s perfectly fine.
 * Thanks.

 * Hi Miled, Thanks for pulling my new provider into WordPress Social Login. Once
   I have tested it all works, I will delete this plugin since we only created it
   because we thought you had stopped maintaining WSL.

 * Hi again, MileD, the changes look fine for PixelPin although there is one other
   fix I made in the code that I didn’t create a pull request for in WordPress Social
   Login. The bug occurs if you use the popup window to login but then return to
   the WP site directly in the browser (in our case after clicking an email validation
   link), then the code would crash because WSL expected the return to come via 
   the popup. The fix I made is in wsl.authentication.php and I don’t know whether
   you want me to create a pull request for the fix or send you the code directly
   to look at (it is in changelist 968924 on the WordPress SVN).

 * Also, another user says that when logging in, although the plugin pulls the profile
   picture from the social logins and stores it in the WP database, it is not being
   used as the profile picture for the WP account, even though that option is ticked.
   Thanks.

 * WSL codebase have changed quite a lot since 2.1.6 and it would be wonderful if
   you could submit a new PR.
 * Thanks.
