 * Hi there! Thanks so much for creating this plugin. I’ve installed it, and when
   I run sync, it gives me a yay message. However, no comments were added.
 * I may just not be understanding what should count as a comment that should be
   synced from Facebook, so I’d appreciate clarification.
 * For, “Sync all previous comments to your database,” what qualifies as a previous
   comment? If I’ve posted a link to a post using my personal Facebook account and
   people have commented on that link, should the comment sync? What if, instead
   of using my personal account, I post the link using my Facebook app for the blog?
 * I’m not seeing any past comments or new comments sync from Facebook, though if
   I make the comments directly on the blog itself, it works.
 * The site where I have installed the plugin is: [http://www.grandadventures-householdchores.com/](http://www.grandadventures-householdchores.com/)

 * Hi,
 * Thank you for using my plugin and I am sorry for the late reply; I was very busy
   last week.
 * Sync comments option imports the facebook comments to your database if you were
   using any other facebook comments plugin before. Unfortunately Facebook gives
   the public feed option to a few websites currently, therefore there is no option
   to import facebook comments to the links shared on the facebook.
 * For further information, you can check this link: [https://developers.facebook.com/docs/public_feed](https://developers.facebook.com/docs/public_feed)
 * Regards,
    Burak.
