This was the third plugin offering LinkedIn sign-in capabilities, and the first one which delivers what it promises. It is not over-complicated. IT worth 5 starts for me. Especially after spending hours with the previous two … 🙂 Many thanks, Pablo!

I had a need for only allowing linkedin – don’t need the other social platforms – this fits the bill. Very solid. Reliable. Code is clean. Developer is responsive. Recommended.
