shaund / facebook-comments-for-wordpress Goto Github PK

I'm having a rough time with this and need help or direction.

I would like for the facebook comments to be counted as the ACTUAL wordpress comments so that I can use other plugin's such as the "most commented" plugin that rely on the wordpress comment count.

Currently the facebook comments can be displayed independently, but this plugin isn't doing anything to adjust the native wordpress comment count. (Which is obviously sad since I have deactivated the wordpress comments in favor of using the FCFWP plugin). Any links to previous solutions or advice is much appreciated!

Thank you all.
Q

I have just loaded Facebook Comments for WordPress on one of my client's sites and every time I try to activate it, I get the following error on the configuration page: "ERROR! Invalid application ID. Please double check to make sure it is correct. Note that this is not the same thing as your Facebook user ID"

I have checked and rechecked and it is the correct APP id. I even tried creating a new app, no luck. I'm using WordPress v 3.3.1. I have disabled this plugin for now, until I can figure out or find out why the app id isn't being taken. Thanks.

The plugin worked great for a few months until recently whenever someone tried to "Like" a post or leave a comment they weren't able to. I've tried deactivating it and doing a reinstall, but I still have the same problem. I'd like to get this fixed! Thanks

When i want to add message tags, it's not sending it to my server.
This problem only occurs when i have facebook comments activated.
Please help?!

hi i am the webmaster of www.tnmv.net and i have added the Facebook Comments for WordPress and it was working fine until yesterday... and today when i logged in non of the articles are showing the comment box nor the comments in them but it does show the like button... i have gone through it over and over but i dont know whats wrong... can anyone help?

FYI that I have a conflict with the plugin Magic Fields whereby I can't enter tags or switch from HTML to Visual view.

Hi,

I am getting another error, please advise. Whenever I attempt to post a comment it says:

"Database Down:
Sorry, a temporary error has occurred. Please try again."

Thank you,

Hi there,

It seems that this plugin causes compatability issues with the "Facebook Photo Fetcher" plugin (see http://www.justin-klein.com/projects/facebook-photo-fetcher).

FB Comments for WP works fine, however FB Photo Fetcher doesn't work and gives the following message:
"Warning: Another plugin has included the Facebook API throughout all of Wordpress. I suggest you contact that plugin's author and ask them to include it only in pages where it's actually needed.
Things may work fine as-is, but only if the API version included by the other plugin is at least as recent as the one required by Facebook Photo Fetcher."

Is this something you can have a look into?

Many thanks,
Thor

For some reason, whenever this plugin is active, it is causing the custom "Recent Posts" widget on my website to ignore how many posts it is supposed to show. If you look on my homepage, on the right hand side, and click on the "News" tab... you will see how it is showing every news article I have. I have it set to limit to 3, but when this plugin is active, that gets ignored. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

View Comments link does not bring you to the bottom of the post where the comments are, so you have to scroll after clicking that link

Consider making the View Comments text and style definable in WordPress via FB Comments Settings menu. For example, I would like to have View Comments just say Comments so readers can interpret this to mean they can make a comment or view comments by clicking. The FB blue also does not match my site - the blue is less intuitive here than when you can actually see the FB-styled comments box, once you click through.

This installed/updated plugin breaks the script in the admin of theme Settings for Suffusion – 3.7.8

It causes the administration area to not appear correctly and aligns all of the sections down the page instead of their proper places.

With the plugin activated it won't let any settings be changed when saved. I did notice that the settings stayed active on the theme if they were active before adding/upgrading this plugin so it does not do anything to break the site out front that I could see.

This plugins breaks the loop, theirby making other themes not work properly.

How to reproduce:

<?php
  // In The Loop:
    echo get_the_excerpt();
    echo get_permalink();
?>

This happens because of the following calls:

• get_the_excerpt() applies the get_the_excerpt filter.
• this runs wp_trim_excerpt
• wp_trim_excerpt calls get_the_content() and runs the the_content filter.

And this plugin calls wp_reset_query() in fbc_show_like_index().

No matter what I try, the comments don't show up unless I actually hard code the facebook_comments() template tag into my theme.

Other than that it seems to be working just fine!

When I select the "Enable native facebook comment count" option, the comment counter shows up correctly. However, when I click the anchor, it just reloads the page and doesn't take me to the comment section. When I hover over the anchor, FireFox just shows the target URL is exactly the same as the page I'm on.

I know this is a known issue, but would like to list it here for completeness.

Is there anything inherently different about v2 comments that makes listing recent comments impossible, or does the script just have to be rewritten?

Hello,

I get this message under the facebook comments window:
Warning: this comments plugin is operating in compatibility mode, but has no posts yet. Consider specifying an explicit 'href' as suggested in the comments plugin documentation to take advantage of all plugin features.

+I have comments that appearing and disappearing in deferent browsers or to deferent users.
Parts of them are not in the Comment Moderation Tool and parts of the comments in the Comment Moderation Tool are not in the posts.

+The comments are not published on users wall although the Post comment to my Facebook profile box is checked.

What is going on?
How can I fix that?

thanks
Eytan

Every theme that I've used this plugin with, I seem to get the following error that appears within the comment box:

"Warning: this comments plugin is operating in compatibility mode, but has no posts yet. Consider specifying an explicit 'href' as suggested in the comments plugin documentation to take advantage of all plugin features."

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks.

I discovered that if i deactivate the Plugin i'm not able to reactivate it again. Only solution is to remove and reinstall completely

Please help me ... i installed the plugin to my website http://www.autotrade.com.ph but when somebody post a comment on my site i did not receive any notification to my email ... can somebody help please

Thanks

I solved a cache issue in the previous version of the plugin, but the last update reversed it. So I thought, lets create an issue. If an item has 0 replies, the plugin won't hit the cache, despite the fact that that a cache record is available. This is caused by wrongly testing if a cache record exists.

The fbComments_combineCommentCounts method uses get_option to check if a wordpress option exists. By definition this method returns a null value if the item does not exist. The if-statement should check for this null value, because if the option exists but returns 0 (zero replies yet), it won't hit the cache, and connects with facebook.

fix: check for null

// Return the cached comment count (if it exists)
if (get_option("fbComments_commentCount_$xid") !== null) {
    return fbComments_getCachedCommentCount($xid, $value);
}

Hi,

I just upgraded to the latest version of Facebook Comments for WordPress. 3.0. It removed my App ID and App Secret. So I went to Facebook, got the App ID and Secret but it still doesn't work.

When I attempt to leave a comment on a blog post, it says: "Your Facebook comments would normally appear here, but you haven't set a valid application ID or application secret yet. Go set them now".

It was working before I upgraded. website: www.beirut1943.com

Thank you,
Jad

Many users are facing this issue, they have mentioned it on the site in your comments too.

After activating the plugin, there are duplicate posts on the home page, of the top-most post. If the plugin is deactivated, the duplicate post disappears. It is possible this is due to a conflict with some other plugin.

The form is not responsive, any idea how to achieve this? It totally breaks my site layout?

Thank you.

Both the comic blog and regular blog do not function properly on the home page with this plugin.

When activating the Facebook Recent Comments Widget a fatal error is displayed:
Fatal error: Cannot use string offset as an array in /home/content/13/5806813/html/wp-content/plugins/facebook-comments-for-wordpress/facebook-comments-recentcomments.php on line 244

Plugin version: 3.1.3
WP version: 3.2.1

Error also displayed when all other plugins disabled.
Changing theme to Twenty Ten didn't help either. Again, all plugins disabled.

Facebook Comments on posts do work.

It might be good to warn others before upgrading that they should take a backup of their XID (the upgrade wiped mine). Thankfully, I could retrieve it from my SQL backups, but others won't be so lucky.

Thanks for the work on this guys, but this one is worth fixing fast (I can imagine the headaches it could casue :-) ).

there is a really big BUG with this plugin with woothemes themes (i have tried with "canvas").. when I activate the plugin i have a "clone" first post in index.php and other pagination, deactivating your plugin, is all right.

plugin seems to always get Number of Comments from cache, even if no cache existe

the fix for me was to change line 82 of facebook-comments-combinecomments.php:

original:

if (get_option("fbComments_commentCount_$xid") !== false) {

fixed:

if (get_option("fbComments_commentCount_$xid") !== false) {

After I enable the plugin I discovered that the Comments section does not appear anymore for Pages. It still appears properly for posts.

I mention that the comments are enabled globally and for the specific pages I tested.

This is whats happening on my blog. I believe that the FB Comments for WP is the culprit here, as the devs at ProPhoto told me to deactivate plugins one by one to see what is causing the issue.

The devs at ProPhoto said:

"I looked into this quite a bit and see the same issue in Safari (not in Firefox or Chrome though) and it looks like something is pushing your 2nd, 3rd, etc, etc posts on your home page outside of the 'content-wrap' div, which is throwing off the styling rules and as such, the image theft protection is appearing as a separate blank image before the actual image, which is why you're seeing blank space, image, blank space, image, etc. The image theft protection is not overlaying and again, this is because all posts other than your first are being marked up screwy.

As such, try disabling all of your plugins (by going to "Plugins" in your WordPress admin area) to see if that resolves the problem. If it does, turn them back on one by one to see which one was the culprit, and then, if you can live without that one, do so. Otherwise contact the plugin author for help, or look for a different plugin to accomplish the same task. "

Just wanted to report this.

I don't know whether the issue lies within Facebook Comments or Display Avatars but they're not playing nicely together. The html code gets mangled and destroys the look of my posts and widgets.
I'm a developer but I haven't got any experience in WP dev so I'll try to explain what's going on. You're extracting the post title and using it to set the title attribute of your fb:comments element. The problem is that the Display Avatars plugin stuffs a div into the post title so Facebook comments tries to set the title attribute to a block of html code, and this is what is mangling my pages.
I don't know anything about WP internals or best practises so I don't know if this is something that you need to fix or if Display Avatars is behaving badly.

I hope this is helpful.

Thanks,

Ash Willis

When I try to activate the Facebook-comments for wordpress I get the following error:

Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 268435456 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 128 bytes) in /home/MYWEBPAGEs/public_html/wp-includes/load.php on line 569

Also it seems to slow down significantly my VPS. which has 2gb memory.

I love the plugin but my site is dead slow and it seems it is from this plugin.

The plugin is saying: Param numposts must be a number less than or equal to 100... on my wordpress page..

Can we fix it..?

Thanks!

I've recently integrated Facebook comments for WordPress and everything is working as expecting with the exception of the comment count.

It continues to show "0 comments" when there are approximately 7 comments.

When loading this plugin, the following error is created:

Message: 'FB.Event' is null or not an object

Then the Facebook Comment does not longer work.

FB.Event.subscribe('comments.add', addedComment); is in facebook-comments-display.php

This has been tested in:

IE 7
IE 8
IE 9
FF 4
Opera 11
Safari 5

Is have been tested in a live setup, but also on a clean WP installation without any other plugins.

hello,

after installing the plug-in on my wp plugin folder, i'm getting this error message :

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_OBJECT_OPERATOR in /homez.403/sportsma/www/wp-content/plugins/facebook-comments-for-wordpress/facebook-comments-recentcomments.php on line 122

Can you please advise ?

Thank you,

Hubert

with the latest version 3.02 the post/page editor with qTranslate breaks with these JS Errors:

http://www.....com/wp-admin/load-scripts.php?c=1&load=utils,editor&ver=3b407d97d17331d0a0504fc192da2618
jQuery is not defined
[Break On This Error] jQuery(document).ready(function(b){var...("afterWpautop",[c]);return c.data}};

http://www.....com/wp-admin/post.php?post=1229&action=edit
switchEditors is undefined
[Break On This Error] switchEditors.go = function(id, lang) {

qTranslate is quite popular, before todays update it worked fine

The use of a global variable called $options caused issues with another plugin - the $options array was overwritten before the facebook block was output, causing a strange 'You have not entered your app id/secret yet!' message.

The simple-but-ugly solution I used was doing a quick
sed -i 's/$options/$fbc_options/g' *.php

to replace every $options by $fbc_options - which is a much uniquer name.

in homepage if you set the ajax load of posts (in exapmple with the free theme Sight)
you will encounter some issues like duplicated posts only on some of them.

It could be usefull to separate this behaviour from homepage and posts, so you could manage display of posts in homepage as you prefer and use also Facebook comments for wordpress

Many Guys have same problems... the plugin must be updateted! It has to many Bugs!

I'm using the latest version of that plugin.
It doesn't work on IE 8.0 and Chrome 10.0.648.204 I get only the "Like" button
In IE there is an error "FB is undefined"

With the Widget enabled it is not possible for me to rearrange or delete parts of the Widget menu. But the problem occurs only on the right Sidebar. After deactivating the Plugin all works fine.

I was having issues with the plugin so I deactivated it (as suggested) and attempted to reactivate it and nothing happens. The page eventually times out and does not activate. I tried deleting the plugin folder and re-uploading it to my server, but the plugin will just not activate.

Any help or ideas?

Hello,

I love the plugin. Thanks for all the effort developing it.

I have a small request. I'm using wptouch pro for mobile. I'd like to be able to modify the options I have set but only when the mobile theme is loaded.

In my copy of the plugin I added $fbc_options = apply_filters('fbc_display_options', $fbc_options); right below line 177 of facebook-comments-display.php.

This allows me to add a filter in my mobile theme to modify the options.

It would be great if you could add this, or something like it, to a future release so I don't have to worry about it being overwritten when I do an update.

Thanks again.

I've updated to comments version 3.1.3 and activated v2 and all dark themes. While the like button dark theme does work (makes the font brighter), ticking the just added dark theme option appears to change nothing, the comment box remains light grey, the already existing comments remain too dark to read, and the "facebook social plugin" box remains bright grey.

An example can be found here:

http://www.zenwars.com/2010/10/hello-world/

Again, this is with the "just added Use colors more easily visible on a dark website" option ticked.

Thanks.
