Hi,

You can go to Facebook Comments plugin settings and disable the automatic position like this: http://screencast.com/t/xhduGF2G then use the short-codes to add the fb comments after the social sharing buttons in the post template: http://screencast.com/t/lOfxcqKx5w

Thanks

This worked in moving the comments below the social buttons but now I have a new issue that wasn’t there before. The original WordPress-styled comments box reappeared underneath the facebook comments box, so I have 2 comments boxes now, the FB comments and the WordPress Comments. I would like to have only the facebook comments. Any suggestions?

Ran into more problems, facebook comments do not appear on video post formats and I also noticed that the comment box is stretched more than it should be, it does not align with the rest of the post structure. (these problems are fixed if I remove the schortcode from the loop-single.php, and enable comments again on post from FB comments settings)

Actually nvm, I have decided to go with Disqus and it seems to work perfectly with the theme 🙂
