Firebase Accounts aren't automatically synced to Wordpress

[ciriousjoker]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. We have a mobile app (Flutter) and a website (Wordpress).

• User creates a Firebase email+password account in the App
• User tries to log into the website
• Login succeeds (ie it doesn't complain)
• User is still logged out and can't make Woocommerce purchases

Describe the solution you'd like

• Creating a new Firebase user should automatically create a properly linked Wordpress account

Describe alternatives you've considered

• User could create an account via the website at the expense of terrible UX and a low conversion (ie no way)
• Write a sync cloud function

Which fields does it relate to? Firebase Auth

Hi @CiriousJoker, which version of the plugin are you using?

And do you have a link for the website that I can have a look at?

@dalenguyen

v2.18 (afaik newest at time of writing).

I sent you an email with the url and a couple of logins. I'm afraid I can't share such info on a public git issue.

Moved to email support.

It's working now.

The issue was an incompatibility between JWT Auth & Integrate Firebase PRO. This was fixed by whitelisting the necessary endpoint in JWT Auth.

In my case I had to move the filter code into its own plugin as suggested by the JWT Auth readme:

• Create ./myplugin/index.php
• Add the filter code as described in the JWT Auth readme
• Upload the folder as myplugin.zip & activate it

Code

 */
add_filter( 'jwt_auth_whitelist', function ( $endpoints ) {
  $your_endpoints = array(
      '/wp-json/firebase/v2/*',
  );
  return array_unique( array_merge( $endpoints, $your_endpoints ) );
});

@CiriousJoker Awesome. I'm glad that it works!
