[Plugin: Facebook Comments for WordPress] Comment Count not included

    Hi, I’ve just installed the latest version (3.1.3) of your plugin on my site and it’s working fine with the comments being posted, etc. but the wordpress comment count is not including the comments from facebook. Are they able to be included in the count?

    Example, on this page it shows ‘No comments’ but there are clearly facebook comments below. The comment count on the main index does not show the comment count for these either.

    I have a plugin installed to import my comments from Flickr, this is working and the comment count is being included in wordpress. I have the wordpress comment system enabled (as the Flickr comments are imported into it) but I have manually removed the ‘add comment’ box from wordpress as I prefer to use Flickr/Facebook for posting the comments.

    I would really like for the count on the index and in the pages to include the facebook comments.

    For your reference I have the following settings for the plugin:

    Comment system: ‘new’
    Include Facebook comments on blog – checked
    Combine WordPress and Facebook comment counts – checked

    Anything else you need to know?

  • So does anyone ever answer from wordpress for our issues?

    Same issue here, I’d like to use alaahd’s fix for this, but I have a ton of WordPress comments as well. It’d be nice to combine the wordpress/facebook comment counts and retain both platforms for commenting.

    Example: I have a post that has 81 likes, 22 comments through facebook and 30 comments through WordPress. I’d like to combine those and at the top for it to say 52 comments. But at the bottom have the ability for my subscribers to comment using facebook AND WordPress.

    alaahd’s solution involves combining the comment counts and remove wordpress commenting from pages where facebook comments are. I’m going to test to see if alaahd’s solution works without hiding wordpress comments.

    Anyone else find a fix? right now I’m using “new” as the commenting system.

    Also I just noticed that my theme calls up the comment system like this:
    <?php comments_popup_link( $zero, $one, $more, $css_class, $none ); ?>

    Any idea on how to edit this to combine wordpress and facebook comments into the count?

    Use this in single.php or excrept.php or anywhere where unique $post->ID is available..
    <fb:comments-count href=”<?php echo get_permalink($post->ID); ?>”></fb:comments-count> Comments
