[Plugin: Facebook Comments for WordPress] Doesn’t work for me

Facebook comments not showing up?

Mystique Theme

Any help would be great?

Craigg,

It’s a conflict with your Facebook share code. You can only use one or the other at this point.

Ok well it works with both on my green park 2 theme here.

Any clue why?

I’m not too sure. I’ve been looking into it and I think it has to do with the order in which the scripts are loaded.

The script causing the conflict on your other blog is the one that references FB.Share. If you remove that script and ensure you’re using the <fb:like> code, it may work.

I’m trying to resolve these conflicts, but since I don’t have control over other people’s plugins, it’s tough to cure all the bugs.

What I just did on both blogs was remove the facebook share (new) plugin and used the one that comes with wordbooker instead and that seems to work with both if you wanna check. Most people use wordbooker anyway.

I just added a new section to the FAQ at https://grahamswan.com/facebook-comments/#faq. It’s the second question down.

You can also try following the new steps there to see if it fixes the conflict (although you seem to have fixed it already).

Thanks Graham for the version 1.5.2.

I just found that when I disable the plugin Ghostery the the comment box appears again.

Sorry for the silly mistake ??
and thanks for your help.

Keep going ~

Hi Graham,

I’m having an issue of late with the plugin.
Upon first load, the comments will load a facebook page in what appears to be an inline frame. (see link)

After a refresh, all is good. Any idea how to avoid this?
I’m also running a plugin called ShareThis to add the facebook/twitter icons to each post, and a script on the sidebar (facebook’s like box).

Thanks in advance.

dsol828, that’s a Facebook bug they introduced recently. It’s out of my control.

It looks like its just when I include the like box.
Which looks like this:

<script src=”https://connect.facebook.net/en_US/all.js#xfbml=1″></script><fb:like-box href=”URL” width=”280″ show_faces=”true” stream=”false” header=”false”></fb:like-box>

I saw in the FAQ that the issue is with the multiple calls to that JS?
There is no fix for that right? They can’t co-exist or call on the same file once?

If you remove the <script> call, it may work.

Ouu so close!
Sure enough, it works when your plugin and the sidebar exist on the same page, just not on the FRONT page (since your plugin doesn’t exist there).

Could I put that call into the php? where would I need to put it?

Perhaps in the home.php or header.php file in your active theme’s directory. I’m not too sure. Google for the answer!

dsol828,

you can use if(is_home()) and place the code with the script and in else you can put it without the script.

Bage.

Hi Graham,

I’m trying to use your plugin in my site (https://erbon.net/Blog) and still not successful. I have followed all the instructions you state in your FAQ as well as a few tips I got googling around, all that I get is the comments box displayed but no comment retrieved. You may check it in this post:

Don’t know what else to do. Your support here would be much appreciated.

Thanks!
