[Plugin: Facebook Comments for WordPress] Enabling comment count breaks my theme

Can you post a link to a page where it’s broken please? Or perhaps provide an error message?

Hello Graham, here is the error message:

Fatal error: Uncaught exception ‘Exception’ with message ‘Facebook needs the CURL PHP extension.’ in /home/websites/jesusrevolution.org/wp-content/plugins/facebook-comments-for-wordpress/scripts/facebook.php:4 Stack trace: #0 /home/websites/jesusrevolution.org/wp-content/plugins/facebook-comments-for-wordpress/facebook-comments-functions.php(65): require_once() #1 [internal function]: fbComments_combineCommentCounts(‘0’) #2 /home/websites/jesusrevolution.org/wp-includes/plugin.php(166): call_user_func_array(‘fbComments_comb…’, Array) #3 /home/websites/jesusrevolution.org/wp-includes/comment-template.php(560): apply_filters(‘get_comments_nu…’, ‘0’, 2445) #4 /home/websites/jesusrevolution.org/wp-includes/comment-template.php(581): get_comments_number(2445) #5 /home/websites/jesusrevolution.org/wp-content/themes/jr/single.php(19): comments_number(‘No Comments’, ‘1 Comment’, ‘% Comments’) #6 /home/websites/jesusrevolution.org/wp-includes/template-loader.php(43): include(‘/home/websites/…’) #7 /home/websites/jesusrevolut in /home/websites/jesusrevolution.org/wp-content/plugins/facebook-comments-for-wordpress/scripts/facebook.php on line 4

Ask your webhost to install the CURL PHP extension then. ?? It’s a common extension and I’m quite surprised it’s not already installed.
