Hi i'm The owner of a Facebook app with this ID: 187382088033833.
I've made new website, and i want to recover my old comments made with my application.
E.g. in this page, in the old version i got a lot of comments: http://www.youris.com/Environment/Bees/Bees_restored_to_health_in_Italy_after_this_springs_neonicotinoidfree_maize_sowing.kl
why now i can't see the old comments?
can you help me?
According to the Facebook Comments Social Plugin documentation, comments are tied to a URL for the page that they were made on. Migrating to a new domain, or moving your page to a new URL, without keeping your comment social plugin URL setting the same as what it was in the past, will cause you to lose your comments.
I would try changing your href setting on your plugin to the old URL for the page you're loading. You may have to maintain that old page as a redirect to the new page should Facebook try to verify it's existence before rendering the comments plugin, or should someone click a link that is published to their news feed so they get redirected to the appropriate place.

I'm in the process of creating a new website and I just added the FB comments Social app to my posts, but I keep seeing comments that are not related to the article and they date weeks before I've even created the page. What is wrong here?
Got it. I just needed to change the data-href value to be the permalink of my website. it looks like this: data-href=“<?php the_permalink(); ?>”
We launched a website which uses the Facebook open graph and like buttons to share content on Facebook etc. One of the open graph tags includes information about the Facebook IDs of the website owners (<meta property="fb:admins" content="..."/>), so these were included. I am one of the admins, and when I liked the web page myself Facebook automatically created a fan page. This is OK, and we are going to keep the fan page, but I can't seem to edit it.
Is there any way to edit a Facebook page which was automatically created?
I managed to solve this by creating a new Facebook page then merging the old, uneditable page (which was automatically created in the first place) with the new page. From the new page I created I went to:
Edit page > Update info > Resources > Request to merge duplicate pages.
Select the old page and merge it to the new one. All the updates and pictures from the old page were lost (this wasn't really a problem) but the likes were merged into the new page. It also asked which username (which forms the Facebook.com URL) I would like to use for the new combined page, so I selected the username of the old page as this is what everyone was used to. At the end of this process I have a Facebook page, with the same likes and same URL as before which I can now edit.
I hope this helps.
Just a simple question, I had facebook comments integrated in my page here:
http://www.bbcnepalidrama.com/main/node/3
Now I have changed the URL alias like this:
http://www.bbcnepalidrama.com/main/about
I have also set a 301 redirect in the old URL which redirects to the new one.
The Question is how do I get the old comments in this URL? They are missing now.
I think, that these comments will be forever associated with that URL and since you've changed it, as far as FB is concerned you are pointing to a different URL.
you can specify the old URL as “canonical” with an og:url meta tag.
see the FAQ about this.
This sucks in Facebook comments. I've launched a site with Facebook comments integrated, without setting the URL, and now when I do, the comments doesn't show up.
Your case seems to be easy, since it seems you're using Drupal. You can install the token and token_filter modules, so you can add the facebook comments code to a block and use the appropriate token that will return the node id from the current page.
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.
I have integrated Like button and Comments plugin in my website. Recently some of the URLs for which comments and likes created are changed.
I am sending proper redirects (301) from old urls to new urls, how long will it take Facebook to detect the url and update likes & comments?
Will Comments & Likes from my old url be transferred to my new url?
UPDATE: Its been 2 days since the urls changed. I didnt see the Likes and Comments migrate to the new URL.
