Meetup Login allows users to log in to your WordPress site using their meetup.com account. If user registration is enabled & an existing user can’t be found, it creates a new user. Currently there’s no easy way to hook up an existing user to a meetup ID.
Grab it on GitHub here, but do read this post before using.
Why use Meetup Login?
- If you’ve got a Meetup group with a related BuddyPress site, as I know a few WP meetups do, there’s no easy way to connect the two. Having to create a second account separate from meetup.com might also be putting off some users (but the option to purposely create an account separate can still exist).
- If you’ve got a Meetup group with a related WordPress site (maybe where you post announcements), you can use Meetup Login to connect post authors there to their Meetup.com accounts.
- If you have a Meetup account & don’t want to remember another user/pass for your WordPress site, you can just use Meetup as a login.
