Making threaded WP comments readable in FB
-
This is an issue I have raised before, a requested feature you said you weren’t going to implement, with good reason, but I am afraid I wasn’t clear at all when making my initial request. Please allow me to rephrase:
FB comments are single-threaded, meaning if you want to answer to someone, you need to tag them, and it’s quite clear, like:
Commenter 1: Some remark
Commenter 2: Another remark
Commenter 3: @Commenter 1: A replyHowever, WP allows (at least if the theme supports it) for threaded comments:
Commenter 1: Some remark
Commenter 3: A reply (timestamped later that commenter 2)
Commenter 2: Another remarkNotice that Commenter 3 does not cite the name of the guy he’s responding to: he doesn’t need to do it as it’s obvious as per the WP layout.
So my request would be, so that WP replies may appear more clearly in the FB comments instead of being lost and confusing as to who answers to whom, to have the plugin add in the comment text something like “IN REPLY TO: name”, if applies, when WP comments are being exported to FB. In the above example, that would translated on FB:
Commenter 1: Some remark
Commenter 2: Another remark
Commenter 3: REPLYING TO Commenter 1: A replyIs that clearer and does that make more sense? That way we wouldn’t be losing track.
Thanks!
