I read about the possibility to mirror Facebook comments. The idea is that when you share a link from your website to your Facebook page, comments on your webpage will also appear as comments on your Facebook post and vice versa. https://developers.facebook.com/products/social-plugins/comments/
I'm wondering if it's possible to do the same thing using the Disqus comment system? That means for any Facebook post that is a link to my website, is it possible to show the comments on that post on my website too using the Disqus comment system?
I know it's possible with LiveFyre but I don't want to switch my comment system ...
No, that is not possible. The Facebook Comment Mirroring uses the Facebook Comments plugin. So the comments on your site, using the plugin, will also appear on the Facebook Post that the publisher has shared (and linked via a special API).
It is not possible to make the comments using the Disqus plugin appear on the Facebook post. They don't support that special integration.

I have a page on the site with comments implemented by plugin Facebook Сomments https://developers.facebook.com/docs/plugins/comments. Also, I have Facebook post with comments (like this - https://www.facebook.com/20531316728/posts/10154009990506729/)
Is it possible to synchronize comments of the plugin Facebook Сomments and comments on the Facebook post? I want to messages, added to the Facebook post, displayed on the web page with the plugin Facebook Comments. And vice versa.
That’s called Comment Mirroring – see docs for the plugin, https://developers.facebook.com/docs/plugins/comments/
Be aware though that this will only work on new URLs, after you enabled it; it will not work for URLs that you already had the plugin on before.
I have a wordpress blog. Is it possible to publish a link to facebook so that the published link on my facebook business page has the same like counter as the one on the blog?
Also, can the comments section be the same? (i.e. if I post the link on facebook, when someone comments, it automatically updates the comments section of the blog post and vice versa?)
This is not possible, each set of likes and comments are independent. There is no way to perform a merge of this data currently.
The Facebook Wordpress plugin provides essentially most of what you can do currently to link Wordpress to the Facebook API http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/facebook
You can't link the like counter of your posts and pages to your Facebook page, why? They're all separate post and pages. It only makes sense.
What you can do? You can announce your post on Facebook (timeline or business page) and all can comment on it. You can add Facebook comments to your posts and pages. The commenter has the choice of that comment showing up in his Facebook timeline. People can "like" the post announcement, or the post itself if you have the Like button on it. They both act separately because for people to actually like your post, they have to visit the page. For analytics it makes sense because you want to know who is in your Facebook page and who actually clicks to visit your site. Both are not the same, and that's the point.
If you want to actually merge your site with Facebook, it will have to be in the form of a Facebook app. If that's the direction you want to take, I believe you can find some help here on the matter.
I'm using the Facebook Comment plugin for comments on my site. I was hoping that comments made to links shared on my Facebook Page would also show up on my website.
For example, if I share a link to a blog post on my Facebook Page, and someone comments directly to that shared link, that comment does not also appear on the website.
Am I missing something? Is there a way to sync these two?
I think comments are self-contained. You could maybe use the API to build something that shares comments on your page with comments on your blog.
My application has obtained publish_stream permissions for a Facebook user.
I'd like to allow the user to post comments for a target URL directly from my mobile application, rather than opening up an embedded browser that then shows the Comment Box plugin. That is, the user doesn't necessarily want to post the link to their feed -- rather they want to participate in any Facebook comment discussion that surrounds that URL.
Naturally, I can read the comments for any URL via the Graph API (eg: a techcrunch article) but I do not know how, or if I can add comments to an arbitrary URL programmatically.
Would love to hear any other suggestions or workarounds as well. My hope is to piggy back on Facebook comments to allow my users to have a conversation surrounding URLs of interest to them. If at all possible, I'd also prefer to use Facebook, though I can see using Disqus or similar services would be another possibility.
Use graph api, demo comments here
make POST to
http://graph.facebook.com/comments/?ids=http://techcrunch.com/2011/07/22/big-surprise-the-ipad-trumps-android-tablets-at-the-office/
with field message and value "yourmessage"
I genuine Facebook API bug.
Cannot comment via Graph API on Comments Plugin (Probably try Legacy API)
Graph API
I'm working on implementing a two-way sync for a website that started as a Facebook fan page years ago and now is going to be run primarily off site.
Right now here's the process I'm using:
Import Posts + Comments from the Graph API. Posts are stored as Wordpress posts, comments are stored as Wordpress comments and some additional data such as Facebook Post ID or Post Author are stored in the post meta.
I've created a second submission form (only admin can submit posts from Wordpress site) that uses the Graph API to post directly to the fan page, then run the importer so that when the post is first entered into the database, it already has it's FB_POST_ID attached.
Comments from Facebook are easily updated and added to Wordpress. FB-Connect allows Facebook users to login and comment on the Wordpress but those comments are not synced with Facebook as I can't attach a user comment to a Facebook post via the Graph API (I can't control other users).
Has anyone run into anything similar or have other ideas for how I could achieve a "two-way" sync? (Quotes as my current setup is technically one-way that mimics two-way. New posts bypass Wordpress then get synced from Facebook).
This question is a bit old, but I actually got here from the official Facebook comments plugin page so I'm answering.
There is a plugin called WP-FB Comments
It's working fine, you can read my experience with it on my blog
(currently trying out Livefyre so you wont see it in action)
I'm working on a similar 2-way sync project. There isn't a way to sync comments (at least none that I can find). The way this has been accomplished is to create a new Facebook application and thus you comment thru the app, not Facebook's native comments, e.g. WPbook. Obviously, it's not ideal.
Wordbooker is another plugin that can accomplish what you're looking for -- when someone posts on Facebook, the comment is imported into Wordpress, and when someone comments on Wordpress, the comment is exported to the Facebook post too. The developer is fairly responsive if you have any issues setting it up.
