  • Works but...

    Yes it works, but I want to do a feature request(IDK if I'll get any response as last update of plugin was 11 months ago but let's try). Soooo... Is possible an update adding an option like "if it's the first user login with that steam account ask to put an e-mail adress to create the account"? Like websites that allow you to log-in with google+/facebook but they need some more info to complete registration. Would an option like that possible? Thanks for reading.

  • It's not working

    I've got the same problem with this guy: https://wordpress.org/support/topic/http-error-500-21/ And I figured that the guy's thread is abandoned by the plugin author. Basically 500 internal error with the default settings, and when doing the plugin author's suggestions, I got rid of the 500 internal error but it's still not working (not able to login with steam).
