How to Add Facebook Comments to WordPress

Comments Box is a Facebook social plugin that enables user Facebook comments on your WordPress installation.

Here’s how to add this plugin to your Thesis site.

First, place the following code in custom_functions.php:

function fb_comments() {
	if (is_single()) { ?>
		<div class="fb_comments">
		<div id="fb-root"></div><script src="https://connect.facebook.net/en_US/all.js#xfbml=1"></script><fb:comments href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>" numposts="5" width="500" publish_feed="true"></fb:comments>
		</div>
	<?php }
}

add_action('thesis_hook_after_post_box', 'fb_comments');

Then, place the following code in custom.css (modifying as desired to match your own site design):

.fb_comments { margin:20px; clear:both; }
