Twitter login app setup

Before you can connect the Sitelok Social Login plugin to Twitter you need to register with Twitter to get an Application ID and Application Secret. This is easy to do and free of charge.
Twitter often change this process so you may see different options. The basic process should be the same though.

1) Go to https://developer.twitter.com and login (you may need to create an account). Click the Developer Portal menu entry.

2) Currently you will need to request a new App to be setup which is usually quite a fast process. Twitter will request certain details from you but basically you will be requesting just the ability to have a Login wth Twitter app and requiring email address acess.

3) Once you get the approval email click the link they provide. You should see a page like this.

3) Ensure that Enable 3-legged Oauth and Request email address from users are enabled.

4) Add a Callback URL to the URL displayed in the plugin for Twitter. This will be something like https://www.yoursite.com/slpw/plugin_sociallogin/twitterredirect.php.

5) Click Save and you should get the App Id and App Secret that need to be entered into the plugin.
