> #### Email Verification When WordPress is the SSO Provider
> 
> Discourse expects all user’s email addresses to be verified; WordPress doesn’t force users to verify their email address. In a default WordPress setup it is fairly easy to verify a user’s email address during the registration process, but if a site is using a plugin that creates a front end registration form - for example, the registration form that can be added with WooCommerce - the [WP Discourse](https://github.com/discourse/wp-discourse) plugin isn’t able to verify the user’s email. In this case, before a WordPress user will be able to login to the forum, they will need to respond to an email verification notice that is sent out by Discourse. The plugin has a couple of filters that can be used to override this behaviour. Take a look at the code, starting [here](https://github.com/discourse/wp-discourse/blob/master/lib/discourse-sso.php#L203), for details.

I’ve been looking at using a social login plugin for my WP site and was wondering if Discourse will recognized that user based on their social login?

Is there a recommended social login plugin for WP that would satisfy the requirement of Discourse to pass the user info over to Discourse, when using SSO and WP as the provider?

Regarding the statement below, which plugin is being referred to?
