Accounts and sign-in: email, Google and Facebook
How customers and contractors create accounts, and how to turn on Continue with Google and Continue with Facebook.
Anyone can design without an account. Their designs stay on their device. Signing in saves designs online and unlocks AI features. Customer accounts are normal WordPress Subscriber accounts (see the Users menu). They never see wp-admin.
What visitors see
The sign-in window has two tabs, Create account and Sign in.
- Create account asks for full name, email, phone, the street address of the yard (on the Designer), password (at least 8 characters), and a tick box to agree to the Terms of Service.
- Sign in asks for email and password. Forgot password? sends a reset.
- On the Contractor Hub page the button reads Create my contractor account and no yard address is asked.
- Buttons Continue with Google and Continue with Facebook appear only after you add their keys.
New accounts can trigger an email to you if Email me when someone creates an account is ticked.
Online storage per customer
Field Online storage per customer (MB) under Customer accounts. Photos are compressed. A typical design uses 1 to 4 MB. The code accepts 20 to 5000 MB.
Turn on Sign in with Google
- Follow the steps shown on Settings → VisionScaper under Sign in with Google. They point to Google Cloud, APIs & Services, Credentials.
- On the consent screen, choose External, enter your app name, email and privacy policy address, and publish.
- Create an OAuth client ID of type Web application.
- Under Authorized redirect URIs, add the address VisionScaper shows you on the settings page (it ends with
?dreamscaper_oauth=google). - Paste Google Client ID and Google Client secret into VisionScaper and save.
Turn on Sign in with Facebook
- Follow the steps on the settings page under Sign in with Facebook (Meta for Developers, use case “Authenticate and request data from users with Facebook Login”).
- Add the address VisionScaper shows (ending
?dreamscaper_oauth=facebook) to Valid OAuth Redirect URIs. - Add a privacy policy address and a data-deletion instructions address. VisionScaper suggests saying customers can delete their account in My account → Delete account.
- Switch the app to Live.
- Paste Facebook App ID and Facebook App secret and save.
Provider screens change. Follow their current instructions.
Tips
- Copy the redirect address exactly from your settings page. Do not retype it.
- Leave a key field as dots to keep the saved value.
- Too many sign-up or login attempts from one place are slowed down, by design.
If something goes wrong
- No Google button. The Client ID or secret is empty.
- “That email already has an account”. Use Sign in or Forgot password.
- Redirect error from Google or Facebook. The redirect address in their console does not match yours.
