    Hi,

    I was looking for a FB comment plugin and was hoping for almost seamless integration. Don’t get me wrong I love the ability to comment and share them in FB.
    When I get a FB comment on a post it doesn’t count on the post as a comment.

    My example is this http://mouseanswers.com/which-disney-podcasts-do-you-listen-to/
    Where as a normal comment would be counted as a comment in WordPress.
    Is it possible to link the 2 systems?
    Or even in the recent comments section a FB comment won’t be classed.
    Initially I would he happy with a code that adds FB comment to WP comment to make comment total. (even if it was manually edited into the theme)

    Hi there,

    Comment counts for WP and Facebook are different. The plugin cannot integrate too much into a theme without causing conflicts so we advise people to hardcode within your theme directly. Using the_permalink, below is an example of the FB comment counter:

    <fb:comments-count href=http://example.com/></fb:comments-count> comments
