 * 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](https://github.com/facebook/wordpress/blob/master/social-plugins/comments.php)
   for an example of how to include the Facebook Comment Box social plugin’s XFBML
   in your comment template.
