Important Notes
-
When a user logs in with Facebook, the theme redirects them to the My Profile page and imports their email, first name, and last name—this is public information shared by Facebook.
-
If Facebook does not share the user’s email, the theme will automatically assign a placeholder email in the format
[email protected]. The user can update this email in their profile later. -
If Facebook Login does not display an email, it could indicate that a user with that email already exists in the system.
-
Important: Do not test the Facebook login using the same account you used to create the Facebook app. Use a different account for testing to avoid mixed results.
