How To Add Facebook Comments in WordPress

The Facebook comments plugin for WordPress enables your readers to share their comments on Facebook.

If a user leaves the “Post to Facebook” box checked when she posts a comment, a story appears on her friends’ News Feed indicating that she’s made a comment on your website, which will also link back to your site.

Friends and people who like the Page can then respond to the discussion by liking or replying to the comment directly in the News Feed on Facebook or in the Comments Box on your site. Read more on Facebook comments.
