[Plugin: Facebook] Existing WP Comments Do Not Show Up Anymore

i have the same problem !!!

The Comments part of this plugin is intended to replace the WordPress comments with the FB Comments box. In other words, this is intentional.

However, future versions may re-evaluate this design.

well then, how do we “preserve” thousands of existing comments, rather than it be replaced by this plugin? will this work with disqus? or is it that the only solution is to disable facebook comments?

“And the FB comments made by FB users shows up instead. Which is not moderated and I dont know when or how it was even posted.”

There are moderation tools available– see https://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/plugins/comments/.

“Is there a way to enable this plugin’s FB comments and still have the existing non FB comments (wordpress) to appear.”

Currently, no. Leave feedback in https://www.ads-software.com/support/topic/plugin-facebook-comments-suggestions?replies=31 and we’ll work on it. (note the link above is wrong–use this one)

yes, there is a solution.

go to the plugins editor, select the Facebook plugin, and then select the file “facebook/style/hide-wp-comments.css”

change “display: none;” to “display: visible;”
