Which Facebook plugin do i need to use for my website,that would let visitors make comments/reviews and those comments are shown on my Facebook Business page.
I have already tried the Comments Plugin but that is showing the comment to the person profile that has left the review.
well if you are using Wordpress,you may use Wordpress plugin provided by Facebook itself.Another chance is you are not using Wordpress ,then you either need to develop your own application for this,or you can use a third party app.You may find a nice app here:

I'd like to have a facebook or alike log-in plug-in feature for my website so that my users would just user their social account to log in to my website. What would you recommend? Thanks!
PS I'm using wordpress 3.3
Using oAuth you can achieve this. From facebook developer account you have to create an app id. Then use that app id to send the request.
Read https://developers.facebook.com/docs/facebook-login/login-flow-for-web/ It has got everything you would like to implement for social login using facebook.
https://wordpress.org/plugins/facebook/
here's one. compatible with wordpress 3.3. Also has a couple of advanced features for example being enabling the user to share stuff to his timeline.
Also, if you just require a simple login check this out: https://wordpress.org/plugins/oa-social-login/
This plugin allows the user to sign in from any of the popular social networks into your site.
Or, if you want to code a custom functionality, you should check facebook sdk.
I'm using a plugin called FooBox for wordpress that puts share buttons on top of images within a Pop-Over.
Within the settings of this plugin is an option to:
Enable Facebook's new feed dialog way of sharing, rather than their old (and deprecated!) sharer.
Please note that this method requires a Facebook App Id in order to function!
I'm not exactly a developer... so I cannot determine what this means, if its better, how so..
Could someone explain in laymen terms what this is?
Thank you
The old sharer method is no longer deprecated, as Facebook have recently updated it (and removed the deprecated notice that was on their site for ages). Both methods have pros and cons. This is my understanding:
FaceBook Sharer
Easy to implement and no facebook app id needed in order to setup
Can share to personal timeline as well as other facebook pages you are admin for
Sharer recently was updated (Feb/Mar 2014) and no longer accepts custom images and overrides anything you pass it with the image opengraph tags used on the page you are linking to. This is a major problem when used with lightbox solutions like FooBox, because the specific image that is shared no longer gets recognized by facebook.
Feed Dialog
More involved to setup and get working. An app ID is required and the app ID cannot be shared across domains.
It only allows you to share to your personal timeline. No support for sharing to pages that you are an admin for.
It accepts custom images, so FooBox works and the specific image that is shared is the image that is shown in the user's timeline.
I am the developer of FooBox and will be updating the plugin soon with an updated explanation to help users on learning what the difference is.
And since Facebook have removed support for custom images since Mar 2014, we will no longer recommend the sharer, but rather push the feed dialog.
More Info

Response from facebook about no longer supporting the custom image for the sharer.
I installed the Facebook plugin on my WordPress site and, since it requires a Facebook app to work, I created one. The purpose of this app is only to integrate the WordPress site with Facebook. Now, I have a Facebook Fan page for the site, but I can't find a way to relate it to the app, unless I change it to an app page (which it isn't, I only created the app for the plugin to work). It is as if the Fan Page was completely unrelated from the site, because the app makes no relation between them.
You don't have anything to do with the app page.
What you need is to get the app id and its secret key in order to fill the corresponding forms under the plugin configuration.
Please follow the installation guide.
I have tried for a month to set up Facebook comments on my site. I want the comment box on my post pages. Also, I want the social buttons which seem to be there sometimes. What file do I place the JavaScript SDK code on, in my PHP or CSS (or is it pasted into each post page)? Then do I cut and past the plugin code into each page I want it to be available, or just in one theme file? I'm lost in this sense and no one seems to be able to give me an answer.
All of the information you will need is on the Facebook developer page! If you are using Wordpress you may easily implement Facebook comments by installing the official Facebook plugin.
I know there is a plugin to put facebook comment app into Wordpress, which automatically merge the comments. The problem is that I installed the plugin hard-code style, so I don't have any plugin page on Wordpress, I just check the comments with the moderator tool at facebook. Now I don't want it anymore, and I'm not finding a way to export the comments to wordpress. Tried this: http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/facebook-import-comments/ but doens't work, doesn't event my App ID. Any ideas?
Try Facebook for SEO - it should import them into your database (just noticed that it won't import the user pic with the comment, but it worked on mine). I was using the social media plugin for Facebook comments using the FB developers app.
