I've just been notified by Facebook that I have to verify my "business" (which is just me as a freelance writer, and my website) in order to continue having my wpDiscuz install integrating with Facebook via the social-login option. I am unable to complete the verification as Facebook requires (they want documents from me that do not exist), so I'm going to have to turn off FB as a social-login option.
So here's my question: What happens to my existing commenters, and their comments, who have logged in via FB? Will they be able to continue to login because they already exist as commenters at my site? Do I have to ask them to set up new commenter profiles via some method other than FB social login... and if so, is there some way for them to reclaim the comments they posted when they'd logged in via FB?
I'm going to have to go to my readers and these specific commenters (fortunately there aren't too many of them) with details about how they (and I) are going to handle this transition, so I want to have as much info as possible before I do that.
I also worry now that Twitter (I refuse to call it X) might revoke the access that allows for social login via that site, so I need to be prepared for if/when that happens. Frankly, I might want to delete the social login option entirely (except maybe for Wordpress), because I can see the same thing happening with other social services.
Thanks for any help! This is gonna be a huge hassle for me, and I appreciate whatever assistance or advice anyone has to offer.
