[arcwin]

My client wants to use facebook only for commenting. I have installed SEO Facebook but still have the comment window that is part of WP. How can I remove these...please see image.

Try this plugin which lets you disable all default WordPress comments: http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/disable-comments/

[arcwin]

when activated, this plugin shuts off all comments including the SEO facebook comments. I trying to get rid of the wordpress comment field and just have the facebook comment fields.

Yes, I'm trying to do the same thing:

Facebook comments posted with accurate count without the Contiuum comment section. Any help from anyone who has done this would be great. I know it can be done as I saw an example here:

Thanks guys

Try adding this to your custom.css file instead:

Code: Select all

#comments {display:none;}

When I place this code, #comments {display:none;}, into the custom.css it strips out all comments including SEO facebook.

Someone replied to this post and showed an example of a site using this theme and facebook comments which is exactly what I am trying to accomplish.

That person did some customizations to the theme to get that result. I'm trying to help you attain the same customizations, although I have no idea exactly what that person did. Try adding this to your custom.css instead of the previous code I supplied:

Code: Select all

.pagination-wrapper.comments {display:none;}
ol.commentlist {display:none;}

I made some progress with just one issue now.

I went to facebook developer and copied the code to be placed into 2 .php files. (header.php and comments.php)

The following code I placed after the </head> in the header.php

<div id="fb-root"></div>
<script>
window.fbAsyncInit = function() {
FB.init({
appId : '318993454865958', // App ID
channelUrl : '//WWW.YOUR_DOMAIN.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>

Then I placed the following into the comment.php in several places but was only able to get the comment files for facebook to show by placing on the very top.
<div class="fb-comments" data-href="http://teapartybeta.development-production.com/" data-num-posts="10" data-width="470"></div>

I was still getting the wp comments window..."the replies" showing under the facebook replies. So...I deleted all the code in the comment.php with the exception of the above code and everything looks perfect with one exception.

The red box provided by your theme will not show an accurate comment count. http://screencast.com/t/EHK3eZNrFz3F

I'm sure I deleted too much code. I saved the original code so placing it back or part of it is not an issue. Just need to know what code I should put back into the comment.php to recieve an accurate comment count.

Thanks for posting this solution for other users to benefit from!

Unfortunately using Facebook comments means your comments are all external and not stored in WordPress, so the default WordPress functions that calculate number of comments are not able to see the external ones and thus not able to display an accurate count. You would need to replace the code used to show the comment count with some sort of code that shows you the number of Facebook comments. Does Facebook provide you with a snippet of code for display comment count?

[arcwin]

Yes they do but im not savvy enough to have the count show in the red box provided by your theme. I returned the original comment.php code and just going to have the wp comment window show as a duplicate and require visitors to register in wp to leave comments with no way to register with the exception of login to facebook.

Thank you for the effort,
Mark

Sounds like a plan, sorry I don't have time to actually go in and help people with custom code requests right now...

[BradGriffin]

Not sure if this thread is still active or not, but I got the SEO Facebook plugin to work!
I'm not a rocket surgeon or a brain scientist, but I figured one of Brian's other Facebook Social configurations or the php of the MySql divided by the image ratio of the CSS with the load time of the header file with the permissions setting would not work with the current assimilation of the flux capacitor of the SEO Facebook Plugin.

So... I just unchecked that box.
see attached image
...and it works just fine.

Brilliant! Adding to the FAQ now...

Thanks so much!

[BradGriffin]

Most of the time when I get something correct on WordPress, it's only because I close my eyes and randomly start clicking the mouse.

[rjay]

Sorry but I don't understand what Brad said ... I think he was trying to be funny, but what box needs to be unticked ?!? The image doesn't work and I can't find the FAQ you're referring to

[IndustrialThemes]

Hey Brad, do you mind quickly explaining what you did? Your image seems to have disappeared and @rjay needs your solution. Thanks!
