Facebook comments

Hi,
We’d have 2 issues relating the FB comments plugin:

1) Remove/hide the comments count:

2) Move the comments plugin below. We’ve disabled the theme’s commenting system, as we had 2 commenting fields.
This is the dev. site

Thanks!

Hi again,

Please disregard the “hide comments” (1) request. We did not see the plugin’s options:

Hello,

It actually depends on how you implemented the fb comments. If you edited the theme files, you will have to add the fb comments code above the social sharing code on each post template. If it’s a plugin, you will have to follow the plugin instructions to add it in the theme code above the sharing here: http://screencast.com/t/Nnka0KK0p

Thank you!

Hi, thanks for that, seems quite straight forward.

We have a doubt with the child theme (which needs to be created in this case, right?): are there any issues with the theme API? we’d like to avoid any problems 🙂

Thanks!

Hello,
Well the post template files will work from the child theme if you create one. Simpy use this guide to do it: https://forum.tagdiv.com/the-child-theme-support-tutorial/

Hi,

I’ve implemented the code as instructed:

However the comment, is still in the same place:

What did I do wrong?
This is the ftp location of the child theme/file:

Actually, now it appears twice on the site (did not clear the server cache before):

hope you can give me a hint on how to disable the double comment appearing

Hi,

Well if you insert the shortcode you should remove the plugin implementation . I’m not sure how the plugin works though. Mayabe it converts the standard comments to the fb comments in which case you need to move the theme comments from the single files from here: http://screencast.com/t/3pwbHj1LZZRu and move the in the loop-single files under the social sharing like so: http://screencast.com/t/vxlZryul

What I do know is that you can implement them from the code without using plugins. Here is a topic that explains how I did it:

Hope this helps
Thanks.

Hi,
It seemed to work (on 1 post template):

But not here:

And we have the post comments disabled:

Does this mean we need to update “all” post templates?
If yes, it’d be easier/more convenient, to have 1 standard post footer for all posts (and then custom ones per post type).
Thanks!

Hello,

unfortunately our theme does not work like that. Each post template has it;s own file you have to edit. Simply add the code on each post template that you use. There is a high chance you will not use all of them so you only have to make the modification in 3 or 4 files.

Thank you!
