My Facebook Comments Moderation Tool is not showing new comments as pending approval and makes all comments public while in my settings it's set to let me approve every comment.
This bug has just appeared recently, but I never made any changes to the settings.
I would appreciate it if someone could point me in the right direction to get this bug fixed and bring back comment moderation.
The moderation link is no longer visible: I just switch to https://developers.facebook.com/tools/comments/ to see previous comments, but new comments are not visible there.
Thanks in advance!
We have found that the reason of this bug was related to Facebook cache.

All the Facebook comments have disappeared from our site's webpages (see: http://www.around-around.com/wanted-13/).
I've run the pages through the Debugger, and it appears that they're ok (just warnings about descriptions, etc.).
But when I was trying to see if there was new code for the comment box from FB, I used the FB comment plugin creator—that's when something strange happened. The example site shows up just fine; our site is rendered with a .... Weird! Frustrating!
We've been using FB comments for over a year now, and they work pretty well. But this is really frustrating. Here's some proof: https://graph.facebook.com/?ids=http://www.around-around.com/wanted-12/
Have we been...um...banned?
It's a facebook comments plugin issue at the moment. Check this https://developers.facebook.com/bugs/383938611736678?browse=external_tasks_search_results_5269356c254c23e51751890
Hopefully it will be fixed soon.
If anyone could tell me how to see comments made by a Facebook Page on other page's that would be great. When I go to a particular page I can see all the comments they make on their own one, but I'm more interested in seeing the likes/comments they make on other pages - if that's possible!
Thanks.
I have tried using many plugins for FB Comments in WP. But all these plugins are cluttered and rersults in conflicts and many bugs. So I have decided to insert fb comments manually into my website and I have did that too. The problem now is I am not getting new comments into my moderation queue though I have set "Allow comments after my approval" in Moderation settings of my FB app. Even through my website I am getting only " Hide, Ban, Boost comments". Approve is not there. Have I missed something to be done while inserting fb comments?
If you specified the fb:appId and fb:admins correctly per the documentation (https://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/plugins/comments/ and https://developers.facebook.com/blog/post/490)
then go to
http://developers.facebook.com/tools/comments.
I've added facebook comments to my website using the following steps:
I created a new app herehttps://developers.facebook.com/apps/
In the auth dialog page for the app, I set 'default activity privacy' to 'Public'
I got the code for the comments box here https://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/plugins/comments/
I used the HTML5 version of the code and added it to my site in the two places specified - right after the body tag and where I want the comments to appear.
I then opened the comments moderation tool for my new app.
https://developers.facebook.com/tools/comments?view=recent_comments
I clicked on 'Settings' and turned on 'Make every post public by default'
I also listed myself as a moderator.
I also added
<meta property="fb:app_id" content="{YOUR_APPLICATION_ID}">
inside the head tags for the page.
When I go to my site - the comments box appears to work ok. I can make a comment, but I can only see comments made by me. I cannot see comments made by people I am not friends with. How do I fix this problem? I'd appreciate any help.
Thanks
Every comment you leave on a facebook-comments driven web site is public, the same way it is on a fan page. Even a non facebook member can leave a comment.
I am looking for a way to turn it off and get the same permissions you have on your facebook wall. Currently, everybody who has the link can see the page content and all previous comments.
Had the same issue and figured out that Facebook grabs urls differently for displaying and submiting comments.
If the url you're providing him in data-href (e.g. short url) is different than the window.location url (url in address bar), then it's probably the case.
P.S. I know that the question is from 2011, but someone else may show up with the same problem.
Is there a way to auto-approve and make all the Comments Plugin's comments public by default?
Also I really need to know on what basis the comments are held for moderation. On some pages, they are public by default, on others they end up in moderation queue.
---------- Update 0 ---------
I removed fb:admins, the moderation UI has disappeared, but the moderation is still in effect. I get the admin UI when I load the page logged in with the App admin creds, and the I can see the comments are in the moderation queue (even new ones). I have even ticked "Make every post visible to everyone by default".
What seems to be the problem?
I have determined the cause of this issue.
It turns out that if you try and post to a comment box using a 'fresh' facebook account, these comments are automatically added to the moderation queue. This makes sense as the users posting these comments look like spammers.
Go into any of your page with facebook comments included.
And then click the settings which is top right corner of comments box.
Find
Make every post public by default
among options
and click that option and save.
