• I have enjoyed the ease of use of the facebook comment importer plug in for months now but about 4 days ago it abruptly stopped working.

    My site is https://StraightFromTheA.com and I have made no changes to or added any other plugins in the past few weeks.

    I upgraded to the new version of wordpress last night because I thought that may have been the issue, however the comments still are not importing.

    In the dashboard it shows that the site is linked correctly to the FB page, and it even shows the numbers of comments under each post, but when I tried to “import now” manually, it gave me an error message.

    I refreshed and tried again, and got “import successful” however no comments were imported.

    Can you please assist.

  • You are right, but I use the plugin not with a fan page. I’m using it with an open group page. Here I used the ID and it worked fine.
    After 3 days without working plugin, suddenly it works without any changes by me. So I think there was a problem on Facebook site, not a problem of the plugin.
    But nowadays I can’t find the “old” ids. It seem that facebook changed something. The plugin works an d I hope it will still work in the future.
    Thanks for your answer.

    Tried Neoseifer22’s trick and it sees the comment, but after a manual import it still says “not yet” imported. Sometimes I get a CAPTCHA error. Do I need to disable my CAPTCHA’s for it to work?

    I just found the source of the problem. When you have too many comments in the last facebook posts, the plugin heavily queries the WordPress database and is killed. (or something like this)

    When you have less comments on your last 30 posts, the plugin restart to work.

    I don’t have a solution at the moment.

    You can try to modify the following, but at your own risks :

    1. edit the file wp-content/plugins/facebook-comments-importer/fbci.class.php
    2. find the following code :
      public function import_comments() {
      
      		$comments = $this->get_comments($this->get_wall(30, true));
    3. Replace get_wall(30, true) by get_wall(10, true).
      Find the value that works better for you. For me, it’s 10.
      This number is the number of facebook posts to check. The less the posts you check, the less the database will be queried.
      If you have a lot of comments on FB, you can even try with 2 or 3.
