[Plugin: WPBook] Importing comments from facebook

Do you know for certain that wp-cron is running?

There should be a task in wpcron for WPBook – you can check your cron tasks with a number of plugins

Seems to be happening to me too. After completing my first cross post from WordPress to Facebook, I commented in Facebook to see if it would cross comment back to WordPress. So far, it has about 11 times (10 duplicates), same as @leecraven; same comment, same time stamp.

Unlike @leecraven however, I do not use the Simple Facebook Connect plugin for like buttons and such. I use the WordPress Connect plugin v1.05. Other than the duplicate cross comment back problem, I have not come across any other issues.

quick update: I did add a follow-up comment in Facebook and it never gets cross commented back to WordPress. The first comment keeps getting cross commented back to WordPress, while the second comment seems to be ignored.

‘nother update: I disabled the WordPress Connect plugin. Same problem. The first comment keeps getting cross commented back to WordPress, while the second comment seems to be ignored.

Then I disabled the Disqus Comment System plugin (since my problem is comment related). Same problem. The first comment keeps getting cross commented back to WordPress, while the second comment seems to be ignored.

Rather than keep going one-by-one, I disabled AAAAAALL of them, except of course the WPBook plugin & Core Control plugin, so that I may force wpbook_cron_job to run.

Ah haaaa… This time, it cross commented both comments back to my WordPress blog, the first comment as if for the first time, and the second comment for the first time. Now we are getting somewhere.

I forced the wpbook_cron_job to run again. Checked comments again. No new comments. Seems it has now remembered that it has already imported the comments from Facebook.

Soooooo, I guess it must be one of the various plugins I had activated. Or maybe a combination of one or more? Looks like I need to do more testing. :-\

Okay, well it seems to be <drumroll>

The Conditional CAPTCHA for WordPress plugin Version 2.5

Perhaps it may be overkill anyway with Akismet and Disqus.

I will continue with my other plugins, but I know for certain that the The Conditional CAPTCHA for WordPress plugin Version 2.5 causes this cross comment issue with WPBook.

I ran through the rest of the plugins and was not able to repeat this issue with any of the other plugins that I had activated.

I did notice through all this testing that the Facebook avatar does not come across with the comment. The “F” is on the avatar, but the picture is a generic faceless avatar.

I thought I saw another post here about that. I will browse through it and see if I can’t make heads or tails of it.
