[Plugin: Facebook Comments for WordPress] What a mess!

  • I have never seen such a complicated, multi-step up plugin!

    I’m sure much of this is due to Facebook’s API, but still – this latest upgrade managed to turn my newest article’s comments OFF, then when I tried to adjust the plugin settings it displayed a fatal error. As I began to dig in to the settings and instructions it was almost indecipherable. Do A unless you want B, but we recommend A. Except *all* the features won’t work unless you do C, but be sure and check out the discussion on our Facebook page because a lot of users are having problems.

    This plugin has approximately 10 times the level of complication and frustration as the average WordPress plugin. If that is what it takes to mix FB comments with WP comments, then no thanks…

    Sorry you’re so frustrated. Facebook has three different comment systems (v1, v2 and then a sorta v2 with less features but comments from v1) and enabling users to choose which they want requires a lot of options.

    I explain things there because many of the same questions are asked multiple times, and I find having verbose instructions reduces the number of times they are asked.

    Also, the link isn’t to my facebook page, it’s to a post on the official facebook dev blog about the new comment system they recently introduced, which I thought users might find useful.

    If you have any questions or need specific help setting up the plug in, let me know.

    Cheers
