Faq

Why this plugin?

Normal Facebook comments plugins will drag your website speed down. This plugin won’t.

Wait, how?

By lazy loading FB scripts and comments only when needed.

Please explain, how this plugin lazy loads?

Comments and scripts will be loaded only after user clicking on a “Load Comments” (of course you can customize this button text too) button, or after scrolling down. You select any of these lazy load methods.

How can I add custom post type support?

It’s easy. You can use lfc_supported_post_types filter to add custom post type support. Add following line to your theme’s functions.php or in your custom plugin.

add_filter( 'lfc_supported_post_types', 'mycustom_add_lfc_cpt_support' );

function mycustom_add_lfc_cpt_support( $post_types ) {
    // Here mycpt is your custom post type name.
    $post_types[] = 'mycpt';

    return $post_types;
}

Where can I moderate the comments?

Once you configure the plugin with APP ID, you will find the moderation page link on the plugin settings page.

Very Easy

Easy to setup & simply best.

The best and does not slow down the web!

By ricrey on March 6, 2020

I look for maximum performance and maximum speed of my website, which does not make unnecessary connections, but all the plugins to add facebook comments on the blog made a call to the entire site even though they only appeared on the blog. But this plugin definitely changed everything! This was exactly what I was looking for, this plugin is not activated unless the user arrives at the comments part, so that does not call Facebook on the entire site to keep Facebook preloaded . This produces a significant saving of unnecessary connections, I definitely congratulate the developer.

One of the Best

This one will be on my favorite list. It's really 'lazy' as the name says.

Excellent

The plugin is excellent, exactly what I needed.

Only One That Worked!

By hollywoodonlocation on April 23, 2019

I tried the #1 Comments Plugin and 3 others. None of them worked properly. The #1 one and 2 others did not even show on the page. The last one before this showed, but when you tried to leave a comment, you got an error. This one was so simple to install and it WORKED!!!!!! Only thing others may have issue with is that you cannot choose where it shows up. Fortunately, I already had another plugin where I blocked all comments except on my product pages and posts.

It disables WP comments

Replacing native comments in wordpress

By delict on May 5, 2018

Hi! Thanks for the great plugin, works perfect but it replaces the native wp comments, is there a chance you can give me that piece of code to sort this out and have fb comments and native wp comments in the same time? Thank you for your help and for the plugin and the fact that you keep it up to date!
