Nextend Twitter Connect is discontinued and Nextend Social Login handles Twitter login in the future. Feel free to install and enjoy Nextend Social Login.
Check the DEMO on our site.
Also we created a Social Connect button generator for this plugin. This allows you to create fancy login buttons.
Personally, I hate to fill out registration forms, waiting for confirmation e-mails, so we designed this plugin for our website. Now, we want to share this very usable plugin with everyone, for free!
Why should you choose Nextend Twitter Connect plugin from the many social plugins?
- If your visitors have a Twitter profiles, they can register your site with a single click, and later to log in too.
- The previously registered users can simply attach their existing Twitter profile to their account, so in the future, they can logging in with the one social button.
- The plugin has multiple desings, so it fits all kind of websites smoothly and elegantly. – Soon
- Very simple to use.
- Fast and helpful support.
- Totally free.
