This should be a question for Janrain but the would not give me pre-sale information and I can't make sense out of their website.

They say the free version is for 2,500 users per year. What the heck does that mean? A total of 2,500 separate people using their login? Or the widget used over 2,500 times per year? We don't expect to have more than 2,500 members any time soon but the widget might be used many more than that.

I sent an email to Janrain asking this question but they said to ask in their forum but I am unable to navigate their slick, non-user-friendly website.

If you happen to know the answer to my question, please tell me. Otherwise I will see what other social logins will work.

Janrain charges now after set limit?  wow, did not know that...  would be interested in knowing what you find with regards to janrain...  we prefer not to use a service that charges...

there are numerous social login plugins out there that work fine...  the biggest issue is that they wont add their stuff to our inline login form...  so we usually recommend disabling the inline login form and using a link to their or wp login page instead...  remember, logging in is a wp function, so SP from that standpoint really doesnt care...

Ok, I found an answer in their site. 2,500 unique users. I don't know what happens if you exceed that limit.

>>we usually recommend disabling the inline login form

I'm not finding where to do that. Does that involve working with the code?

no, not working with sp core code, but editing your sp theme...  as always, we recommend you have your own sp theme and not edit one of ours to protect against upgrades:  http://codex.simple-press.com/.....g-a-theme/

then just remove the template tag that outputs the inline login form

        sp_LoginForm($loginForm);

and replace the button that opens it

            sp_LogInOutButton('tagClass=spButton spRight', __sp('Log In'), __sp('Log Out'), __sp('Log in and log out'));

with a link to the desired login page..  something like

            sp_LogInOutButton('tagClass=spButton spRight&logInLink='.site_url('wp-login.php?action=login', 'login'), __sp('Log In'), __sp('Log Out'), __sp('Log in and log out'));

for the standard wp login page...
