Hi All - Thanks again for this great resource and any guidance you might have for me.  I'm working on a new project and have the need to use a custom FP form for commenting, in order to incorporate the data with a few advanced custom fields we've built into the site. Another key feature however, is using a social login comment system to make it super-easy for users to login and comment with their existing Google, Facebook, Twitter, accounts etc.  Has anyone used both a custom FP comment form (I have, this is not the issue) in conjunction with a social comment login system? If so, could you share the social login plugin or system you used? (Before I just go buy several to test) Thanks in advance,
Mark

Why not use an integration to the native login and then just cleverly place it with shortcode -> https://wordpress.org/plugins/oa-social-login/#can%20social%20login%20be%20embedded%20through%20a%20shortcode%3F or maybe https://plugins.miniorange.com/guide-to-display-social-login-icons-using-shortcode-in-wordpress?

This sounds like something I could try and make work, Bobby. Thanks.

I guess my biggest thing to figure out, is if it will work with the FP comment form (hidden unless logged in), versus only working with a native comment form. I'll give it a shot and see!

Thanks!

I presume this is essentially a form, so set the form to be required to login and show this shortcode for the login form in place of the default login message @ https://formidableforms.com/knowledgebase/global-settings-overview/#kb-message-defaults
