Same issue here, I’d like to use alaahd’s fix for this, but I have a ton of WordPress comments as well. It’d be nice to combine the wordpress/facebook comment counts and retain both platforms for commenting.
Example: I have a post that has 81 likes, 22 comments through facebook and 30 comments through WordPress. I’d like to combine those and at the top for it to say 52 comments. But at the bottom have the ability for my subscribers to comment using facebook AND WordPress.
alaahd’s solution involves combining the comment counts and remove wordpress commenting from pages where facebook comments are. I’m going to test to see if alaahd’s solution works without hiding wordpress comments.
Anyone else find a fix? right now I’m using “new” as the commenting system.
Also I just noticed that my theme calls up the comment system like this:
<?php comments_popup_link( $zero, $one, $more, $css_class, $none ); ?>
Any idea on how to edit this to combine wordpress and facebook comments into the count?
