Set up the comments box

Facebook Comments Pro extends Social comments by WpDevArt for WordPress. It lets you display a Facebook comments box on pages and posts, then adjust its appearance and placement. Pro adds color scheme selection, background color, position settings, 39 animation effects, and premium support for questions or reported bugs.

Install and activate the plugin from its .zip file in the WordPress plugin screen; there is no need to extract the file. Enter a Facebook App ID in the plugin’s main settings, then configure the box. You can disable it on individual pages or posts where it is not needed.

Choose display options

Configure the box title, title text color, font size and family, title position, width, placement, number of remarks, and language. Enter a language code such as en_US or de_DE. Pro settings add the color scheme, background color, position, and animation effect.

Add comments to a page or post

Place the shortcode in the content where the comments box should appear. Its attributes can set the Facebook App ID, current URL, title text and styling, width, comment count, background color, animation effect, and locale. The supplied attribute names include curent_url and title_text_font_famely. A PHP placement option is also available with do_shortcode().

Check display and moderation

After configuration, check the selected page or post and disable the box on any content that should not display it. When logged in to Facebook, moderation settings are available for comments on the front end; comments can also be moderated from the Facebook App page. The extension’s source notes that the API does not provide notifications when a new comment is left.
