Upon further investigation, I discovered that the facebook plugin authenticates and registers users, but it does not automatically sign them in. The plugin on vanillaforums.org does that easily, so I know something is wrong.
Below is a screenshot of what I get whenever I click the twitter button:

The error message is telling you what the error is. You have your Facebook application set up as a desktop application rather than a website. Hunt around the application configuration page and switch over.
I think you just need to provide a url, but Facebook changes their UI all the time.
I still have issues with Facebook though. The plugin autheticates properly on Facebook's end but does not log in the user on Vanilla as it normally should.
You need to enter the Basic Info at the top of the page and then you need to click on the tick that says 'Website' and enter http://www.nigerianz.com where it says Site URL.
I have created a new facebook application entirely and it is still not working. It authenticates on Facebook's end but does not sign the user in Vanilla's end.
@happudude .... Is your problem solved by now ? I'm experiencing the same problem as yours. I'm getting the same error screen when i log in with google and I also use hostgator. So if you have found the solution please help me. I want to know what is the problem and how to rectify it ?

0 • Off Topic Insightful Awesome LOL •@happydude You must create your Twitter app with a Callback URL. You can use whatever you want as long it is a valid URL of your site.
If you don't specify this, Twitter thinks it is a desktop app and they don't use callbacks as Vanilla or other sites to integrate.

I still have issues with Facebook though. The plugin autheticates properly on Facebook's end but does not log in the user on Vanilla as it normally should.
Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Simply go to https://developers.facebook.com/apps and 'Create New App' if you haven't already done so.
Once you've created the app you should have a few options like the image on the link below.

You need to enter the Basic Info at the top of the page and then you need to click on the tick that says 'Website' and enter http://www.nigerianz.com where it says Site URL.
Save changes then see if it works
Good luck!
