Can't remove credit link

Upgraded to 2.0.5 just now. Fixed! Thank you. I use the Twenty Eleven theme.

I am using wp 3.5.1 and facebook comments 2.0.5 and was seeing the credit link with it unchecked in the admin section. When I check it, the credits are gone. Am I understanding this or is this reversed on how it should be working?

Thanks.

Hi,

Same here as for @ graphical_force

If i check the “Credit” box the credit is gone. If I uncheck it’s there……probably is reversed.
Using WP 3.5.1 and Facebook Comments 2.0.5
Thanks!

I just downloaded and activated this plugin tonight, also have problem with turning off the credit link. I read above and have tried both ways, checked and unchecked…nothing works, the credit link is still there :S.

I am using WordPress 3.5 a fresh installation just 2 days ago. Please could you let me know if there is a fix with it? Thanks!

I have installed this on a completely new installation of WordPress both with versions 3.5 and 3.5.1. I have installed nothing but the plugin and stored settings with the credit option ticked and unticked. This works fine.

I am not sure why this is happening to some as the plugin goes through 3 separate checks to ensure to only display the button if the option is ticked. To manually remove the link look for these lines of code and delete them from the plugin editor:

NB: Use caution if you’re a beginner at PHP

if ($options['linklove'] != 'no') {
        if ($options['linklove'] != 'off') {
            if (empty($fbcomments[linklove])) {
      $content .= '<p>Powered by <a href="https://3doordigital.com/wordpress/plugins/facebook-comments/">Facebook Comments</a></p>';
    }}}

This code appears twice in the plugin.

Thanks Alex! I just rated your plug-in 5 stars. Thanks for the great plugin and help! x

Sorry to revive an old thread, but I think I have a solution because I too had the problem.

The problem seems to be when you embed the code yourself on a page, versus the plugin automatically adding the code.

I believe your issue is on lines 84 and 129 of class-frontend.php. Without modification, they read:

if (empty($fbcomments[linklove])) {

However, your instructions for linklove say:

enter “1” to link to the plugin

If you enter 1, then that configuration setting is no longer empty. Therefore, the modification to lines 84 and 129 should simply be one character:

if (!empty($fbcomments[linklove])) {

This resolved all problems for me, hope it does for others – and that if I’m right, Alex can incorporate this fix into the next patch of the plugin.

Updated – let me know if it doesn’t work for you…
