Comment (by samirmalpande):

 We are using WordPress Social Login (https://wordpress.org/plugins
 /wordpress-social-login/) on one of our sites. It was working fine until
 now. Facebook has recently made some changes in its URL structure and
 their URLs are now much longer. WordPress Social Login uses the user_url
 field to store the Facebook's profile URLs.

 As URLs are much longer now they are not saved in the database and user
 registration fails.

 There are many people facing this issue. One of the reports can be seen at
 https://github.com/miled/wordpress-social-login/issues/263.

 In the above mentioned GitHub issue, its suggested that we increase the
 user_url column's length to 255 to fix the issue.

 I can make changes to the database table to fix this issue, but I will
 prefer not to make any changes to core table.

 We should really consider increasing the length of user_url and user_email
 columns.
