Hi all,
this is the first discussion I found that clearly explains the big problem we’re having.

Any updates on the topic since 6 months ago?

Thanks for any answer you may provide ??

I’m frustrated because I don’t like installing 2 plug-ins where 1 should do!

Amen to that!

I don’t know what happens to the code on the Facebook page you linked, Paul (where the box seems to appear under any circumstance) but I must say that a couple of tests I run inside a WordPress page tend to confirm Jeremy’s explanation above.

Here’s what I did:

– I set 90px as the width on the Facebook page (where the box still appears)
– I got the code (iframe version) and pasted it inside a page
– I tried the button on the published page: “Add Comment” box nowhere to be seen.

Have you got any other explanation for the fact that the Facebook Like Button inserted through Jetpack doesn’t show the Add Comment box? I really can’t find another one and I’d appreciate any new hint.

I forwarded the issue to the Jetpack support and got back this useful answer from Jeremy (thank you!):

Unfortunately, the Comment box pop up only appears in a few circumstances:

* The width of the button is at least 450 pixels
* The button uses the layout=”standard” option

The Like button used by Jetpack is much smaller than that, so the Comment box cannot actually be displayed.

I am afraid you’ll have to insert the Like button manually to solve this issue.

Much simpler than previously thought. Since the G+ button that comes with Jetpack works like a charm with no restrictions related to the width value, I really think it’s Facebook’s job to make something more reliable. I think I’m gonna grow a big beard in the meantime.

Hi all, I’d like (pun intended) to get back to the original problem this thread was about –-i.e. the lack of the “add comment” box popup for the official facebook like button in Jetpack.

Again, that is NOT the pop-up window you can get by selecting “Icon + Text”.

It’s the little popup that hovers under the like button.

@barry has already posted a screenshot:

Anybody can try it here, in the official Like Plugin page by Facebook

@tim said they were looking for the inclusion in future version of the plugin, 4 months ago.

As of today the problem persists in Jetpack 2.1.1
In the meantime various versions of Jetpack have been released, including the massive 2.0 and 2.1 updates.

Any news about that from the Automattic team?
Has anyone found an alternative solution?

Dunno about the queries,
but when you got an error with this plugin, before tinkering the database you should try to deactivate the plugin and see if the widget is still in your list. By deactivating you should obtain the old sidebar.

I finally soved the problem by inserting rewrite rules on the .htaccess files. But You have to enter them twice! So That was my error ??

UPDATE: it worked just because the pages weren’t already cached…
Now the problem for me is how to use the hooks in super cache… any good tutorial around :-)?

Turning half on Wp Super Cache isn’t like using Wp-Cache only?

I found out that specifying the User Agents in Super Cache admin panel works for me, without using hooks…

I don’t know if it’s because there’s not too many pages cached, I’m trying again later and reporting back…
