  1. Hey there! It works greats but I have couple of question before it’s running great :)

    First the profile picture is not showing in the comment, I still get the wordpress user’s default image… How can I change that for the Facebook profile picture?

    The other thing is a bit tricky but I would like to add a forum plugin like for exemple simple press which use the WP user database. So if someone sign up with facebook, and then go to the forum. Does this person will still be connected?

    Thanks a lot!

    • Hi Andrei,
      if you cofigure request “extendended permissions” to the Facebook user, the email will be stored with the wordpress user (you can see in your user admin page).
      To configure the email permission, go to the main plugin config page, and put email (or other values) in the “Perms to request” field.
