  1. Hey!

    I just purchased the plugin and it has saved me so much time, so thank you!

    I am having a pretty interesting problem, however.

    When one of the site users goes the site, she is automatically logged in as whoever the last person who logged in via Facebook. And then, it pulls a random photo from her wall photos (not even her FB avatar) and uses that as the profile picture, while using the previous users name and profile.

    Is there maybe a plugin conflict or have I done something that could cause this? I have not edited the plugin code at all. I did put in the php code for a button on the registration page on my themes register.php file.

    Help!!

    ps- I posted on your comment list, but after, thought this was a more appropriate place to ask. Sorry!

  2. Hi Rachel,
    Is it happening on the same pc/same browser(I mean are you trying to test it using multiple facebook accounts from the same pc and same browser)?

    Or is it the case for other users like one has logged from home and another from office and they get this issue?

  3. The person having the problem is using one computer, one browser and one facebook account.

    The other users that have been "taken over" by her, were logged on different computers, and have never logged into facebook from her computer, they have never even met her...

    Pretty weird, right??

    She's wondering if it's a SSL issue or some other security issue. I don't see how that have anything to do with it.

    Should I just tell her to clear her cache?

  4. here's an example. When I hover over her avatar, her name shows up. But if you see, the profile is actually someone else.

  5. Hi Rachel,
    It seems a very weird issue but I have got the same report from one more person. I will be investigating it in detail this weekend.

    For now,

    Please run this in PhpMyAdmin(sql)

    DELETE FROM wp_usermeta WHERE meta_key='fb_account_id'

    That will clear all association of the account.

    For the users registered via facebook, The plugin will re associate them to their local account when they login again.

  6. Okay - it's a bit of a unique situation, as it is for a client of mine and I do not have access to the database. I will try to get them to run it or get access. Thank you for your help - I'll look forward to finding out what's happening.

    Thanks!

  7. Hey Brajesh -

    I did what you said, but we're still having the same issue. I am not really sure what to do at this point - I think I might need to use a different plugin.

    Have you found a solution?

  9. Hi Rachel,
    I am sorry but the above sql should have deleted all the account associations from user to facebook.

    Is it happening for some other users too. I believe there is something amiss with the account but unable to understand.

    Can you please check the user account details in wp_users table and see if the email matches facebook or is there any pattern/similarity ?

  10. It happened to one other member that I deleted.

    Not sure if this is it, but the user that it seems to keep happening to does not have an email associated with his wp_user account.

  12. Hi Rachel,
    I believe wordpress does not allow registering a user without email, It should be there in the wp_users table.
    If there is no email, It is in fact a strange case.

    Please do let me know your results.
