  • Same thing here… For me, I think it is the theme I am using as the same thing happens when I use any of the ‘facebook’ plugins including the official one?
    I don’t know enough about theme editing to fix it and am attempting to do just that now.
    On my theme (Response from https://cyberchimps.com/) the facebook plugin hides the wordpress default comment option and leaves just the word Comments on each post.
    Also, none of the like or share buttons are displayed?

    Yes, and I’m not sure how to fix this! It’s showing “Comments”

    I used other themes and the plugin worked… I like the theme I am on and have found that if I use the DISCUS plugin for comment management it works.
    Gonna stick with that for now

    The ” Comments” text displayed is most likely a result of the Facebook plugin for WordPress acting on your theme’s call to the comments_number() WordPress function

    Comments inside the Facebook Comments Box social plugin are stored on Facebook servers. There is no comment count stored on your WordPress site for the post. Some themes customize the text sent to comments_number() to match their own styling or wording.

    The Facebook plugin for WordPress attempts to recreate the default output of comments_number() when 2 or more comments are present. The Facebook plugin for WordPress outputs markup to be interpreted by the Facebook JavaScript SDK when the page is loaded.

    <fb:comments-count href="https://example.com/?p=1"></fb:comments-count> Comments becomes “3 Comments” after the Facebook JavaScript SDK evaluates the page and replaces the placeholder with a value from Facebook’s servers.

    A few things you can do to troubleshoot:

    1. View source on your affected page and search for “<fb:comments” to locate pieces of your page to be replaced by the Facebook JavaScript SDK.
    2. Check for “connect.facebook.net” in your page source as an indicator the Facebook JavaScript SDK will load.
    3. Watch out for multiple Facebook-related plugins that may possibly load the Facebook JavaScript SDK but not evaluate your page for Facebook-related markup such as comments count or Like Button.

    I see the <fb:comments in the source code, now what do I do from there?
