Facebook Comments Plugin for Wordpress and Blogger

Facebook is a popular social media portal to share updates and useful links for friends. This post explains how to integrate Facebook comments plugin script into Blogger and Wordpress blogs. Just few lines of code, I feel it's very useful for generating blog traffic.

Facebook Comment Plugin

Developer Facebook providing awesome social plugins for sharing things to friends. First you have to create a Facebook application then you can generate the FB script code click here

&amp;xfbml=1"></script>
<fb:comments xid="POST_ID" numposts="10" width="425" publish_feed="true"></fb:comments>

  6. Good and very useful for bloggers out there. But the styling can be improved a bit to suit the templates of blogs.

  7. mine doesn't show up ?:( I replaced YOUR_APP_ID
    with my ID number and copy and pasted it as you've instructed. aww.

  8. my brother.. u just rock ;)

  9. APP_ID is your FB-application ID number. You need to make an application to get one. It's not profile ID.

  11. Después de mucho darle, he conseguido subirlo al blog, pero necesito alguna “llave” para que sintonice con cada post. Es decir, me aparece en la sección de comentarios pero no en el post que se supone comentamos, sino en todos. Es un pequeño detalle pero hasta que no de con él no me lo reconocerá.
    Un saludo

    ReplyDelete
  12. Excelente !!! enconstré aquí la solución a los comentarios repetidos en los post. Gracias !!!

  13. Doing this prevents the full functionality in particular the ability to select between your profile or a page profile.

    ReplyDelete
  14. Thanks for the tip!

    Do you know how it can the comments separate on every post, instead of the way its now: If you comment on one post, it appears on all of them. Do you understand?

    I appreciate an answer.

  16. There's a little type error on the wordpress code where you have the PHP tag. Rectify ASAP

    ReplyDelete
  17. Just like Younbobby mentioned, there is a wrong sign in the last line of Wordpress code. Now there is:
    fb:comments xid=">?ph

    and there should be:
    fb:comments xid="<?ph

    ReplyDelete
  18. My single.php does not have the line of code mentioned above. Could it be on another page?

  20. we can do this too master, we just change this side

    <fb:comments expr:xid="data:post.id" numposts="10" width="425" publish_feed="true">

    <fb:comments expr:href="data:post.url" num_posts="10" width="425">

    ReplyDelete
  21. Hi there

    For Blogger users, if you don't want to enable the facebook developer app (to get your APP_ID) , just replace expr:xid="data:post.id" with expr:href='data:post.url' . As a result the code would be:

    <div id="fb-root"></div><script src="http://connect.facebook.net/en_US/all.js#appId=APP_ID&xfbml=1"></script><fb:comments expr:href='data:post.url' num_posts="10" width="425"></fb:comments>

    I wrote a simple tutorial here:

    http://etblue.blogspot.com/2011/04/blogger-facebook-comments-box-blogger.html

    It's written in Chinese Traditional , but I think you guys can understand the code easily!

  22. How to receive notification when someone posted in our FB Comment Box. My blog is Blogger Blogspot. Any idea?

    ReplyDelete
  23. how does one link this so that comments made on the blog show up on my wall, and vice versa if someone comments on a wall like, the comment shows up at the blog post?

    Is there a way to set it up so that it is independent of the comments 'div'? meaning, it appears by default at the bottom of each post?

    thanks,

    ReplyDelete

  40. @mR.aSLaN Sorry for the late reply

    You have to differentiate with "data:post.id"

    Eg:
    Article 28
    <fb:comments expr:xid="28"

    Article 53
    <fb:comments expr:xid="53"

  52. thank you, I have been looking for it for 4 days now, and i did it eventually thank u, but i still need it light not dark what can i do?

    ReplyDelete
  53. Great!

    However, as I looked into developer.facebook.com, the code for comment box is quite different.

    By the way, I am user of blogger.com, though I have used a custom domain.

    In order to have a comment box, I first went to https://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/plugins/comments/ then fill things up. Then paste the HTML 5 code below this code:

    b:if cond='data:post.hasJumpLink'
    div class='jump-link'
    a expr:href='data:post.url + "#more"' expr:title='data:post.title' data:post.jumpText//a
    /div
    /b:if


    the code that I paste looked something like this:

    div id='fb-root'/
    script(function(d, s, id) {
    var js, fjs = d.getElementsByTagName(s)[0];
    if (d.getElementById(id)) return;
    js = d.createElement(s); js.id = id;
    js.src = "//connect.facebook.net/en_US/all.js#xfbml=1";
    fjs.parentNode.insertBefore(js, fjs);
    }(document, 'script', 'facebook-jssdk'));/script
    <div class='fb-comments' data-href='MY_ADDRESS_HERE' data-num-posts='2' data-width='580'/

    Everything went fine, but all comment box have the same comments... Please help

    By the way, the code looked strange because the comment box of Blogger.com doesn't allow HTML codes...

    ReplyDelete
