WordPress.org

3.1.3

• Feature: Dark style now available for dark sites with the v2 comment system ("v2 only" option).
• Bugfix: Fixed a bug that was causing comment caching to be slow.

3.1

Dev Time: 33hrs

• Important: I highly recommend using "v2 only", as it is, by far, the most feature-filled. If you have old comments, you can use "Display both v1 and v2 comments"
• Issue: If you see Warning: http://example.com/example_post is unreachable., make sure your app settings are correct (enter http­://example.com/ for "Site URL" and example.com for "Site Domain", note the lack of http or a trailing slash, this is important)
• Feature: Like button integrated into plugin. Enable on settings page. You can fully customize it there as well.
• Feature: Like button can also be added to the top or bottom of each post on the site's main page (same "like" count as the one in comments)
• Feature: Comment count for 'v2 only' comments now displayed. Customizable on plugin's settings page.
• Settings: Reorganized settings page to make clear what applies to which version of facebook comment system
• Bugfix: Users should no longer see "Fatal error: Cannot use object of type WP_Error as array in wp-content/plugins/facebook-comments-for-wordpress/facebook-comments-admin.php on line 71"
• Bugfix: "Comments Closed" should no longer display inappropriately
• Bugfix: The 'delete' link on the dashboard recent comments widget is functional again
• Bugfix: A request to facebook that times out no longer incorrectly asserts that the application ID is incorrect
• Bugfix: No longer dies if facebook is unreachable (i.e., no more "Uncaught CurlException: 6: [...] name lookup timed out thrown on line 622")
• Bugfix: ...and no more "Uncaught CurlException: 1: [...] thrown on line 519"
• Bugfix: Activation should no longer be slow on sites with many comments
• Bugfix: Other small edge case bug fixes

3.0.2.2

Dev Time: 18hrs

• To see what facebook has changed/removed in v2, please read this: http://bit.ly/fbc3_changes. Briefly, gone is custom css, dark site, like button. If you want these, select "v1 only" (the default) on the settings page.
• IMPORTANT: WRITE DOWN YOUR XID BEFORE INSTALL THIS. This should be completely unnecessary, but it's just a wise precaution to take.
• Added a notice in the plugin settings which displays your XID from 2.1.2 or before.
• Now displays "Comments Disabled" if comments are disabled for a page/post
• Bugfix: Fixed a conflict with a global variable which was causing the plugin to not load on certain sites.
• Bugfix: The visual editor should work again.
• Bugfix: Those who were unable to activate the plugin should now be able to (see next option).
• Option: Ability to disable comment caching (disabled by default).
• Option: Ability to show only v2 comments. See details on option page.

Dev Time: 41hrs

2.1.2

• Option: Ability to uncheck the Post comment to my Facebook profile box by default
• Bugfix: Pre-activation checks have been converted to warnings (if you receive a Parse error when activating, please ensure you're running PHP v5.0.0 or higher on your server)

2.1.1

• Bugfix: Replaced all file_get_contents() instances with cURL calls (since some web servers don't allow file fetching by URL for security reasons)
• Bugfix: Combined comment counts now work when comments are included manually (as long as the option is checked)
• The plugin now checks your PHP version (must be v5.0.0 or greater) and ensures you have the cURL extension installed before activating

2.1

• Bugfix: Switched from PHP's default mail() function to WordPress' built-in wp_mail() function for sending email notifications
• Bugfix: Removed JavaScript logging to ensure the plugin works in Firefox and IE again (these browsers do not have console.log defined unless Firebug is installed)

2.0

• Option: Send email notifications to the site admin whenever a Facebook comment is posted
• Option: Ability to load the JavaScript SDK the old way (for those of you who experienced issues with v1.6)
• Option: Ability to set the comment box width to 100%
• Bugfix: Whitespace is now trimmed from the application ID, the application secret, all CSS styles and the XID to prevent loading issues
• Bugfix: Links on the plugin settings page have been updated to point to the correct information on the website now
• Bugfix: Cleaned up various parts of the code (no more PHP notices)
• Comment counts are now cached (no more slow load times on the main page). Depending on the number of posts you have on your site, it may take a few moments to activate the plugin because it retrieves the Facebook comment count for every post during activation for caching
• Added both PHP and JavaScript error logging to make troubleshooting easier
• Both a Facebook application ID and an application secret are required for the plugin to work now
