    Hi there,

    First, this isn’t the duplicate comments question that you’ve answered before! 🙂

    On a website I’m working on for a client, the Facebook comments are showing up twice – once on top of the post and once on the bottom.

    Again this is NOT the native WordPress comments. I have those disabled.

    The FACEBOOK comments are showing up twice. I can’t find anything that would cause this. I’ve scoured the PHP files and everything else I can think of.

    Ack! Help!

    Hi,

    I have found an easy solution, that I would like to share.Hope it’s okay!
    It seems to me super.

    First let me say thank to Facebook Comment, and Alex Moss. Think Facebook Comment is a great plugin.

    In my child theme, in comment.php, I replaced everything with facebook comments php echo shortcode. So only these lines is in the comment.php:

    <?php echo do_shortcode(‘[fbcomments url=”” width=”100%” count=”off” num=”5″ countmsg=”wonderful comments!”]’); ?>

    And voila, facebook Comment is where the default WordPress comment was.
    There are now two copies of Facebook Comment, it can be disabled in the post and page editing.

    Sincerely Karsten

    Hi Karsten,
    Thanks so much for the response.

    I actually already tried that. It does result in only one instance of the comments. However, they’re the wrong comments 🙁 It shows what looks like ALL comments that have ever been posted to the Facebook page, almost 1000. And that same huge list appears on every blog post.

    The original way did show comments only for each particular post, but two of them – one on top and one on bottom.

    Could it be some problem with how the Facebook app was set up? Any other ideas?

    thanks!
