== Frequently Asked Questions ==

The shortcode will automatically be replaced by the icons of the chosen
social network providers.

= I have a custom template and the plugin is not displayed correctly =

you can add the Social Login form manually to your theme by inserting the following code 
in your template (at the location where it should be displayed, i.e. above the comments).

`<?php do_action('oa_social_login'); ?>`

usernames, please consider installing the following plugin to fix the problem:
