Wordpress FB plugin missing comments box - facebook

Question

I was using the Facebook Comments for Wordpress plugin and had FB comments working perfectly for my posts. I switched to the new Facebook plugin and everything works but the comments.
When I check my HTML source of my post pages I find the comments section empty. I know I'm missing something just don't know what it is. My site is cops.com and there should be comments on every post.

Answer 1

The WordPress plugin includes the functionality for comments. So there could be a clash that is occurring with your personal implementation of the plugin.
Go to the settings and enable the comments and disable your implementation (unless it is custom).
/wp-admin/admin.php?page=facebook-settings
I believe only one admin can/should be in control of these settings, there is one variable holding this information in the WP database so if two admins are in, one can overwrite the settings of another.
Also you have two instances of the SDK
<script type="text/javascript">window.fbAsyncInit=function(){FB.init({"appId":"293125297449760","channelUrl":"http:\/\/www.cops.com\/?fb-channel-file=1","status":true,"cookie":true,"xfbml":true,"oauth":true});}</script>
and
<div id="fb-root"></div>
<script>
window.fbAsyncInit = function() {
FB.init({
appId : '293125297449760', // App ID
channelUrl : '//www.cops.com/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
});
// 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>

I had the same problem that the comments weren't appearing. First the comment about editing all Pages to 'Allow Comments' for all pages was very useful, which pointed in me in the right direction.
My problem was actually that the theme I was using wasn't including comments in the page.php in the theme.
In my theme the comments_template wordpress function was missing inside The Loop.
So I had to add <?php comments_template( '', true ); ?> to the following code:
<?php if ( have_posts() ) while ( have_posts() ) : the_post(); // begin 'The Loop' ?>
<?php the_content(); ?>
...
<?php comments_template( '', true ); ?>
<?php endwhile; // End 'The Loop' ?>
