Facebook comment box not always loading - facebook

I've added a facebook comment box on my website, but its only loading around 40% of the time. The other 60% nothing happens. I've tried to do some troubleshooting and came up with that, the times its not loading the height of the box is set to 0px, but when its loading it says 160px, as its supposed to.
Here is all the code related to the commentbox.
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xmlns:fb="http://www.facebook.com/2008/fbml">
The following is right after the body tag.
<div id="fb-root"></div>
<script>
window.fbAsyncInit = function() {
FB.init({
appId : '389788207743820', // App ID
channelUrl : 'file:///C:\Users\ts10027\Documents\Mina webbplatser\recensionsida\channel.html', // Channel File
status : true, // check login status
cookie : true, // enable cookies to allow the server to access the session
xfbml : true // parse XFBML
});
};
(function(d){
var js, id = 'facebook-jssdk', ref = d.getElementsByTagName('script')[0];
if (d.getElementById(id)) {return;}
js = d.createElement('script'); js.id = id; js.async = true;
js.src = "http://connect.facebook.net/en_US/all.js";
ref.parentNode.insertBefore(js, ref);
}(document));
</script>
<div id="fb-root"></div>
<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/sv_SE/all.js#xfbml=1&appId=389788207743820";
fjs.parentNode.insertBefore(js, fjs);
}(document, 'script', 'facebook-jssdk'));</script>
and this is placed where I want my box
<div class="fb-comments" data-href="http://www.stadskoll.nu/restaurang/harrys.php" data-num-posts="2" data-width="565px" data-height="160"></div>
Thanks in advance

If that's the code you're actually using, there are a few things you need to change:
channelUrl : 'file:///C:\Users\ts10027\Documents\Mina webbplatser\recensionsida\channel.html', // Channel File
This has to be on a public URL, just move the file somewhere on the server where it can be accessed by anybody.
Next, you have to and you're including the JS SDK two times? You might want to double check that: https://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/javascript/

Facebook SDK with React Web

Has anyone had success using the Facebook SDK in your react web (not native) project? There doesn't seem to be any good documentation on it.
Specifically. Where to I call the init function?
<script>
window.fbAsyncInit = function() {
FB.init({
appId : 'your-app-id',
autoLogAppEvents : true,
xfbml : true,
version : 'v2.9'
});
FB.AppEvents.logPageView();
};
(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/sdk.js";
fjs.parentNode.insertBefore(js, fjs);
}(document, 'script', 'facebook-jssdk'));
</script>
If I add it on every page, FB.AppEvents.logPageView() does not load/register back to Facebook ( I don't see it when debugging events). If I add the init code on my main app.js, and then just add FB.AppEvents.logPageView() on individual pages I sometimes get an console error that FB.AppEvents can't be found.
What is the best practice for integrating the Facebook SDK in a react web app?
Did you have app-id and set it in your code?
https://developers.facebook.com/apps/
There may be many approaches, I am currently using that approach to do this:
Add the Facebook SDK for JavaScript in index.html page where you are placing your whole app component. Also add <div id="fb-root"></div> after the start of body tag in the same index.html file.
<body><div id="fb-root"></div><div id="root"></div>
<script>
window.fbAsyncInit = function() {
FB.init({
appId : 'your-app-id',
autoLogAppEvents : true,
xfbml : true,
version : 'v2.9'
});
FB.AppEvents.logPageView();
};
(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/sdk.js";
fjs.parentNode.insertBefore(js, fjs);
}(document, 'script', 'facebook-jssdk'));
</script></body>
The above snippet initialises the window.FB variable once your app component mounted. You can use this variable to do window.FB.AppEvents.logPageView() and any other stuff such as accessing graph API.
There is one issue that can be arises and that is when the component is mounted, things works fine, but once, its un-mounted and you can come back to this component, things may not work fine such as fb comments or like plugin. To tackle this issue you have to put the following line: if (window.FB) {window.FB.XFBML.parse();} in ComponentDidMount() life cycle method of every component in which you are accessing facebook stuff. It will re-parse the dom after mounting your component.

Trouble connecting with facebook

Right now I am having trouble with my facebook login in js for my website.
This is all of the code:
<script>
window.fbAsyncInit = function() {
FB.init({
appId : '3',
xfbml : true,
version : 'v2.8'
});
FB.AppEvents.logPageView();
FB.getLoginStatus(function(response) {
alert('whoo hoo!!! getLoginStatus called the callback');
});
};
(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/sdk.js";
fjs.parentNode.insertBefore(js, fjs);
}(document, 'script', 'facebook-jssdk'));
</script>
And I am getting this error:
cxx.faceboo…:1 Application Error: There was a problem getting data for
the application you requested. The application may not be valid, or
there may be a temporary glitch. Please try again later.
I even edited my hosts file so that the domain points to my local machine.
Does anyone have any idea what could be causing this?
Thank you!

Facebook like button showing error when clicked

I want to show facebook like button. When a user clicks on the button it should make a callback after a user successfully likes that page.
Here is my code:
<div class="fb-like" data-href="https://developers.facebook.com/docs/plugins/" data-width="200" data-layout="box_count" data-action="like" data-size="large" data-show-faces="false" data-share="false"></div>
<div id="fb-root"></div>
<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/sdk.js";
fjs.parentNode.insertBefore(js, fjs);
}(document, 'script', 'facebook-jssdk'));
</script>
<script>
window.fbAsyncInit = function() {
FB.init({
appId : '510679165797120',
xfbml : true,
version : 'v2.6'
});
FB.Event.subscribe('edge.create', function(response) {
console.log('hello');
});
};
</script>
But it is not working. When you click on the like button it shows an error.
Can someone please tell me how to solve this issue?
It could be worth changing the js.src line. To me I see it as though this line is looking for a local file.
js.src = "https://connect.facebook.net/en_US/sdk.js";
I previously used the following line, but I'm not sure of the difference to be truthful:
js.src = "https://connect.facebook.net/en_US/sdk.js#xfbml=1"
You can get the code to like a Facebook page built for you directly by Facebook at this site --> https://developers.facebook.com/docs/plugins/like-button
That way you avoid deprecation issues, etc.
Just go there, enter the pertinent info, grab the code they spit out and place it on your site.
good luck!
demo : http://so.devilmaycode.it/facebook-like-button-showing-error-when-clicked/
The error happen because you are on localhost or not in the same domain you specidied in the app settings
also in order to work, your callback function should be at the top like below
<script>
window.fbAsyncInit = function() {
FB.init({
appId : '#############',
xfbml : true,
version : 'v2.6'
});
FB.Event.subscribe('edge.create', function(response) {
console.log('hello');
});
};
(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/sdk.js";
fjs.parentNode.insertBefore(js, fjs);
}(document, 'script', 'facebook-jssdk'));
</script>

Facebook comments not working on Wordpress

I added Facebook Comment Box to my site manually. I created an app and pasted the code on my template files.
<div id="fb-root"></div>
<script>
window.fbAsyncInit = function() {
// init the FB JS SDK
FB.init({
appId : '730627806953221', // App ID from the app dashboard
status : true, // Check Facebook Login status
xfbml : true // Look for social plugins on the page
});
// Additional initialization code such as adding Event Listeners goes here
};
// Load the SDK asynchronously
(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";
fjs.parentNode.insertBefore(js, fjs);
}(document, 'script', 'facebook-jssdk'));
</script>
Then I added this:
<div class="fb-comments" data-href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>" data-width="430" style="max-width: 100%;"></div>
It seems to work, when a user comments it displays correctly. However when I try to reply to someone who left a comment it doesn´t stay there. I´m trying to reply as a brand not as myself.
Why could this be?

Facebook Comment Box not working but worked before

I was trying to implement a simple Facebook social plugin comment box onto my website. The URL of the box is not static, since every post on my site has one of them, but is generated using PHP.
I got it working fine for a while, but suddenly it stopped doing so and now I can't get it back again. I'm not too familiar with Facebook development, so I might've made a mistake in the code.
Here's how I load the Facebook Javascript SDK (I changed some fields for anonymity):
<div id='fb-root'></div>
<script>
window.fbAsyncInit = function() {
FB.init({
appId : MY_ID,
channelUrl : 'http://www.mysite.com/channel.php',
status : true, // check login status
cookie : true, // enable cookies to allow the server to access the session
xfbml : true // parse XFBML
});
// Additional initialization code here
};
// Load the SDK Asynchronously
(function(d){
var js, id = 'facebook-jssdk', ref = d.getElementsByTagName('script')[0];
if (d.getElementById(id)) {return;}
js = d.createElement('script'); js.id = id; js.async = true;
js.src = '//connect.facebook.net/en_US/all.js';
ref.parentNode.insertBefore(js, ref);
}(document));
</script>
And here is how I initialize the comment box:
<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&appId=MY_ID';
fjs.parentNode.insertBefore(js, fjs);
}(document, 'script', 'facebook-jssdk'));
</script>
<div class='fb-comments' data-href='http://mysite.com/post?id=<?php echo $id; ?>' data-num-posts='4' data-width='470'></div>
Here's channel.php:
<?php
header("Pragma: public");
$cache_expire = 60*60*24*365;
header("Cache-Control: max-age=".$cache_expire);
header('Expires: ' . gmdate('D, d M Y H:i:s', time()+$cache_expire) . ' GMT');
?>
<!DOCTYPE html>
<script src="//connect.facebook.net/en_US/all.js"></script>
I pasted the scripts at the end of the page in the body. Right now, nothing is showing up at all— no errors, just blank. Any help about getting this to work would be greatly appreciated.
Sorry guys, but the whole thing was caused by a stupid mistake of mine: I had a Firefox addon that was blocking the commenting box. It actually works fine. I apologize for my mistake.
