    I am sure this has been asked a million times, but is there a way to hack the plugin so that both the facebook and the wordpress comment boxes will show? I want to have the option to show because my website has a phpbb3 forum integrated with it and users have to actually register to comment on the forum and registration for the forum can not be done through facebook, it is done through WP-Unite. I want to give users the option to comment with their wordpress/phpbb3 login and not have to use facebook to comment. The facebook option is for some members that would rather have a quick post option and not have to log into the site, these users will not have forum comment access.

    Lots of rambling to explain, so if anyone is like “whyyyy would you want to do that” But the main point is I want both the FB and WP comment box options and I need to know what files I need to edit to do this.

    You should look at defining your own comments template and overriding the comments_open filter to allow comments posted by the WordPress comments form. You could output the Facebook Comment Box XFBML in a comment listing or comment form WordPress action that provides the desired placement among your other content.

    Reference the comments.php comment template in the Facebook plugin for WordPress code for an example of how to include the Facebook Comment Box social plugin’s XFBML in your comment template.
