Postmatic Social Commenting takes a lighter weight approach than traditional Social Login plugins.
The big difference
No WordPress users are created. Nobody is logged in. This is not social login , it is social commenting . That means it is simple, lean, and whoopingly fast.
How it works
- Users click the social network icon of their choice when they want to leave a comment.
- The social network asks their permission to share their name, profile image, and email address with your site.
- If they agree a standard WordPress cookie is added to their browser and the comment form is ready for their reply. When they return to your site they are already authorized. Nice.

Like most all social plugins, this thing takes some work to get up and running. We wish it were otherwise.
You must create an app for each network. We’ve included some fantastic tutorials and videos to help you through the process. It’s not difficult work, but it’s not exactly fun. Luckily you only have to do it once and then it’s high fives from all of your commenters. Forever.
Frequently asked questions.
Can my users log in using this plugin?
Proudly, no. This isn’t a heavy weight social everything kind of plugin. No users. No logins. No sharing (no sharing!). If you want your users to be able to comment without filling out a name, email, and website this is your plugin is your new best friend. If you want more than that try WordPress Social Login.
