Facebook comments and wordpress comments

This is a problem Im having but no reply to John above in a month !! has this been fixed?

I like the plug in but will have to look for another if not fixed ??

I’ve held off adding this, because this feature seems like it could introduce some bugs and formatting problems.

Though I can explain how to modify the plugin so that it can exist side-by-side with the WordPress comment system.

Find the file:

fb-comments.js

Find the line:

$(‘#commentform’).html(html);

… comment this line out and replace it with:

$(‘#commentform’).append(html);

By default the plugin replaces the wordpress comment system. This change simply appends it to the form.

Have just tried the above ‘fix’ but no change?

I just tested and it works for me. A few things to check…

1. Double check the file. My patched file now has the lines:

//$(‘#commentform’).html(html); // old
$(‘#commentform’).append(html); // new patch

In other words, rather than replacing the HTML in the div, it’s simply appending to it. You can also use .prepend(html) to put it before the wordpress comments.

2. Verify that the file on the server was uploaded to the correct place and overwritten.

3. Clear browser cache (for example ctrl-R to force a refresh).

Fantastic!!

It works!!!

Thanks Kseifert!!
