FB comments showing up on every page

    Hello,

    I recently swapped out my theme’s comment box for the Facebook comment system. I thought everything was fine until somebody actually commented. It seems that the comment shows up on every page, not just the one on which she commented.

    Does anybody have any advice for fixing this? In my comments.php file this is the only bit of code I have:

    <div class=”fb-comments” data-href=”https://verbkeep.com&#8221; data-width=”570″ data-num-posts=”10″></div>

    Please help! Thanks in advance!

    Jeff

    The data-href="https://verbkeep.com" part of your pasted code is setting the target of the content.

    The Facebook plugin for WordPress adds this value to your Comments Box social plugin HTML using the result of get_permalink. Did you add a custom comments.php file and therefore modify this default behavior, causing the issues you experience?

    Hi there,

    Thanks for your response.

    I’m not sure (I’m really new at / bad at HTML-related stuff), but I suppose I must have. I followed the instructions on the FB site and on another site that had a step-by-step explanation. Basically all I did was copy the bit of code above into my comments.php file and delete what was already there (the old comments box from the theme).

    I see that the problem is that the data-href directs the target of the content to the whole site rather than the specific page. So what can I do to change that? Do I need to use the get_permalink code?

    <?php $permalink = get_permalink( $id ); ?>

    If so… where does it go? Sorry my complete lack of acumen here.

    Many thanks!

    Jeff
