Comment Box won't appear (comment count does)

    Hi Alex,

    Thank you for answering an ungodly amount of support requests. I hate for this to be a repeat of what you’ve already seen dozens of times, but I think it is.

    The comments box all of a sudden stopped appearing on my blog (eg: https://chile.voyhoy.com/blog/20-sintomas-del-viajero-incorregible/)

    I don’t believe this coincided with the installation of any new plugins. I went through the instructions in Settings carefully – the only minor issue I have is that in my facebook developer console, it won’t allow me to add a subfolder to the domain where my app is located. (so https://chile.voyhoy.com/blog is the URL for “Site URL” and chile.voyhoy.com is the App domain). Don’t know if this is a show stopping issue.

    Anyhow, Ive done everything I can, including deactivating loads of plugins, to try and solve this and I’m stuck. Any chance you have advice or could help me out? I’m more than happy to provide WP login details if thats the easiest method.

    Many thanks,
    Roger

  • This is odd. One thing I do see is that the SDK is called twice – once through the plugin and another, I assume, using the theme just after the <body> tag. Try to disable that one and see what happens.

    Thanks for your response. I think the SDK is being called through the Yoast SEO Plugin, which recently was updated to work directly with facebook (via Open Graph meta data?), inserting your Facebook App ID and all.

    I deactivated that feature and the comments still did not appear. I am reluctant to disable Yoast since my blog is dependent on SEO.

    My header.php only includes the facebook script one time: 

    <div id="fb-root"></div>
<script>(function(d, s, id) {
  var js, fjs = d.getElementsByTagName(s)[0];
  if (d.getElementById(id)) return;
  js = d.createElement(s); js.id = id;
  js.src = "//connect.facebook.net/es_LA/sdk.js#xfbml=1&version=v2.0&appId=689686497791882";
  fjs.parentNode.insertBefore(js, fjs);
}(document, 'script', 'facebook-jssdk'));</script>

    Alternatively, I’ve tried enabling and disabling the Facebook official plugin, but nothing has worked.

    Any ideas?

    Thanks so much for your help

    Delete that code from header.php and see what happens…
