Firebase Accounts aren't automatically synced to Wordpress

ciriousjoker commented 3 years ago

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 ) );
});
