I see Facebook comes in the wpForo API settings, but what's the best way to integrate Twitter and LinkedIn logins? (if possible)

I was looking at this plugin:
https://nextendweb.com/social-login/

Am open to suggestions and feedback with what will work best.

Lots of people in my industry only use either Twitter or LinkedIn.
Having them as login/register options would make things much easier.

Did you ever try this plugin?

Yeah I did, it works. But I don't use it now as some people may have old emails they used to register with social media. By getting their email the normal way I can confirm it is their regular email.

So you don't even use the built-in Facebook Register/Login then?

I can see what you mean about the emails, I have never thought about that before!

I've installed a social plugin (Nextend), and it seems to be working swimmingly with the regular WP site, as there's a nice "Continue with Facebook" and "Continue with Twitter" button across the login page. However, on the WpForo login, the buttons are barely visible. 

I've made no customizations to the theme, and I'm not sure how to fix this.

I've attached an image showing both the good version and the bad version of the the buttons. 

Thanks!

It is a CSS conflict. To solve it, just navigate to Dashboard > Forums > Settings > Styles admin page, put the following CSS code in "Custom CSS Code" textarea, save it, delete all caches and check again.

.nsl-container-buttons a span {
display: inline-table !important;
}
div.nsl-container .nsl-button-default span.nsl-button-label-container {
margin: 0 24px 0 12px !important;
padding: 10px 0 !important;
font-size: 16px !important;
line-height: 20px !important;
flex: 1 1 auto !important;
}

.nsl-container-buttons {
display: flex !important;
align-items: center !important;
}

div.nsl-container .nsl-button-svg-container {
flex: 0 0 auto !important;
padding: 8px !important;
display: flex !important;
}
div.nsl-container-block .nsl-container-buttons a {
flex: 1 1 auto !important;
display: block !important;
margin: 5px 0 !important;
max-width: 280px !important;
width: 100% !important;
}
div.nsl-container .nsl-button-default {
color: #fff !important;
display: flex !important;
}
