It is supposed to be and I’ve been running version 1.2.1 on a multisite WP instance for about a year, but right now version 2.1.3 is not working for me and I’ve seen a few others who have reported issues. I just discovered a bug that I believe is at the root of the problem with this plugin on multi-site setups. I posted a comment about it here:
http://wordpress.org/support/topic/unable-to-authenticate?replies=4

As far as I can tell, there’s no way this version or version 2.0.3 are functional in a multi-site setup so I think it’s unlikely that the developer is doing good testing for multisite. I believe version 2.0.3 was released on January 25th, so either there aren’t enough users running this plugin on a multi-site setup to raise a fuss, or the developer isn’t being very responsive to multisite issues.

That said, I know that 1.2.1 works. I would highly recommend the older version of the plugin and the new features look really cool, once the multisite bugs are fixed.

I switched from this plugin to the Google+ Blog plugin (http://www.minimali.se/google+blog/). I’d recommend giving it a try. It doesn’t have as many features, but it works pretty reliably. I haven’t been impressed with the speed of new development, but it’s pretty solid as it is.

I spent hours troubleshooting an issue similar to this. Perhaps it’s the same problem you were having. I hope this helps…

The token that Google was returning did not contain an attribute that The Google+ Plugin was expecting. I solved this by changing line 126 of lib/external/google/auth/apiOAuth2.php from…

if (! isset($accessToken[‘access_token’]) || ! isset($accessToken[‘expires_in’]) || ! isset($accessToken[‘refresh_token’])) {

… to …

if (! isset($accessToken[‘access_token’]) || ! isset($accessToken[‘expires_in’]) ) {

Once I did that, everything started working as intended. I’m not sure if this is a good long term fix or if it will cause other problems, but it’s working for me for now.

Are you managing your menu items through wp-admin > Appearance > Menus? If so, you can add a new “Custom Link”. Enter URL: “/wp-login.php?redirect_to=destination_page” Label: “Log In” and click “Add to Menu”. That will add a Log In link to your menu, and when you finish logging in, you’d be directed to the destination_page (destination_page is a placeholder for whatever URL you want to enter).

But the new Log In link will not use SimpleModal Login, so you’ll need to do one more thing… In the upper-right corner of the Menus admin page, click “Screen Options” and make sure “CSS Classes” is checked. Then, in your menu list, click the disclosure triangle (down arrow) next to “Log In”. For “CSS Classes”, enter “simplemodal-login”.

If you want to be able to return the user back to the same page rather than a single destiation, you may need to add a function to your theme’s functions.php. Follow the directions on this page: http://wpfirstaid.com/tag/wp_nav_menu/ except, instead of adding a link to “Home” you’d be adding a link to “Login” and use wp_loginout($_SERVER[‘REQUEST_URI’], false) where the instructions have home_url( ‘/’ ) .

I posted my solution to this here…

I had this issue in some of my testing. I found that things worked again after doing this…

Log in to Twitter.com
Go to Settings > Applications and click “Revoke Access” for your app.
Then, in WordPress, delete the user account.
Then, delete your browser cookies.
Then go to your site’s /wp-login page and try again.

The wsl_user_custom_avatar function in wordpress-social-login/includes/plugin.ui.php, which is borrowed from the Social Login plugin, only gets the social networking avatar for comments on the front end. It does not get the avatar for the user’s admin bar or in the admin area users list, etc.

To make the social networking avatars work throughout, you can put this code into your theme or a custom plugin…

// remove WordPress Social Login's get_avatar filter so that we can add our own
remove_filter( 'get_avatar', 'wsl_user_custom_avatar' );
function my_user_custom_avatar($avatar, $id_or_email, $size, $default, $alt) {
        global $comment;

        if( get_option ('wsl_settings_users_avatars') && !empty ($avatar)) {
                //Check if we are in a comment
                if (!is_null ($comment) && !empty ($comment->user_id)) {
                        $user_id = $comment->user_id;
                } elseif(!empty ($id_or_email)) {
                        if ( is_numeric($id_or_email) ) {
                                $user_id = (int) $id_or_email;
                        } elseif ( is_string( $id_or_email ) && ( $user = get_user_by( 'email', $id_or_email ) ) ) {
                                $user_id = $user->ID;
                        } elseif ( is_object( $id_or_email ) && ! empty( $id_or_email->user_id ) ) {
                                $user_id = (int) $id_or_email->user_id;
                        }
                }
                // Get the thumbnail provided by WordPress Social Login
                if ($user_id) {
                        if (($user_thumbnail = get_user_meta ($user_id, 'wsl_user_image', true)) !== false) {
                                if (strlen (trim ($user_thumbnail)) > 0) {
                                        $user_thumbnail = preg_replace ('#src=([\'"])([^\\1]+)\\1#Ui', "src=\\1" . $user_thumbnail . "\\1", $avatar);
                                        return $user_thumbnail;
                                }
                        }
                }
        }
        // No avatar found.  Return unfiltered.
        return $avatar;
}

add_filter ( 'get_avatar', 'my_user_custom_avatar', 10, 5);

…Or, if you want to hack the WSL plugin, you could replace the content of the wsl_user_custom_avatar function in wordpress-social-login/includes/plugin.ui.php with the content of the my_user_custom_avatar function above.
