Q. What happens if a Facebook user removes its comment for my blog post? What action I should take in this case?
A. Since version 1.1 of the plugin Import Mode control setting allows you to specify the plugin’s behavior in this case. By default when user removes a comment from facebook, it is also removed from the blog comment’s list. You can change this behavior by using the “Append new” option.
Q. Is the plugin aligned with the Facebook policies?
A. The plugin is aligned with all known Facebook policies and respects user rights. If you think there are some issues with Facebook policies and user rights, I would be glad to hear about them and introduce necessary changes.
In addition some unique plugin features might be useful in this direction:
* “Delete All Imported Facebook Comments”
* Import Mode setting
Q. Can I separate comments comming from WordPress and from Facebook comments social plugin.
A. Yes, you modify your theme to visually and physically separate both types of comments. The plugin stores special value in the “comment_agent” database field which begins with “facebook-seo-comments”. You can use this fact to modify behavior and visual appearance.
Q. Why the plugin stores the comments into the WordPress database?
A. There are three reasons
* The most important reason is performance. The WordPress database is used to cache Facebook API requests. The result is significant reduce in Facebook engine hits and reduced website traffic.
* Improved user experience.
* Seamless integration for comments posted through Facebook comments social plugin and WordPress comment features.
Many sites are using the popular Facebook Comments Social Plugin. The Facebook Import Comments WordPress plugin allows comments generated by the blog visitors to be imported as WordPress comments.
Some visitors prefer to post comments to Facebook Social Plugin as these comments are becoming part of their social activity and are displayed on their wall.
Other visitors prefer not to use Facebook comments. They would like to post their comments to your WordPress blog.
The Facebook Import Comments combines both type of plugins and makes them part of your WordPress blog.
Search Engine Optimization (SEO) benefits should also be considered. Your site will be more dynamic and more attractive for spiders. As a result it will rate higher in search engine results. According to Facebook SEO (Search Engine Optimization) community is the reason for extending the Facebook Social Plugin to be extended to provide an interface for retrieving the comments.
