 * Have you found a solution for this problem? I am having the same problem. The
   comments started all over from zero, the old ones are still on the fb app, but
   as the plugin gets the new URL “https”, the old ones doesnt show. There should
   be an option for maintin the old URL inside the plugin.
 * Is there a way to do this manually in the code?

 * Still not.
    Keeping on investigating. This is a frustrating issue.

   to https but the comments are still not showing.

 * I have looked into the depths of internet. No one has an answear for this, not
   even facebook dev group.
 * I still think that if the plugins would force to get the comments from the “http”
   version, everything would work out fine. But no ones willing to help us. And 
   as we see, theres a lot of us with the same problem.
 * I tried to find a way to import old facebook comments into WP Database so I could
   use WP Comments instead – no lucky.
 * Seems that years of work went down the drain. Really really frustrating. With
   fb mainly, for not giving an option for us to export the comments in any way.

 * I am so happy right now! I’VE GOT IT! I DID IT! After almost a week trying to
   solve this!
 * Let’s do it step by step. First of all, like [@007me](https://wordpress.org/support/users/007me/)
   well said, the Heateor plugin mentioned above DO NOT WORK. I paid for that, didnt
   work at all. Ok, lets get past this.
 * 1) Install this free Facebook Comment plugin: [https://br.wordpress.org/plugins/comments-from-facebook/](https://br.wordpress.org/plugins/comments-from-facebook/)
   
   2) Install the Really Really Simple SSL plugin, also free: [https://br.wordpress.org/plugins/really-simple-ssl/](https://br.wordpress.org/plugins/really-simple-ssl/)
 * (disclaimer: I do not own, work or promote any of these plugins above, just sharing
   because it was really a strugle to get my old facebook comments back and I think
   a lot of people are going thru the same, and this solution worked, finally!)
 * 3) Go to your theme function file and add this at the beggining, right after “
   <?php”:
 * Dont forget to change the yourdomain.com for your real domain in the code, note
   that one is with “https” and the other “http”
 *     ```
       function rsssl_exclude_http_url($html) {
       //replace the https url back to http
       $html = str_replace('data-href="https://www.yourdomain.com', 'data-href="http://www.yourdomain.com', $html); return $html;
       }
       add_filter("rsssl_fixer_output","rsssl_exclude_http_url");
       ```
   
 * That should do the trick! 😀

 * Good to hear [@escrevapromarcos](https://wordpress.org/support/users/escrevapromarcos/).
   
   But why do we need the Really Simple SSL plugin if the site was already switched
   to SSL? Won’t it impact anything?

 * Apparently it actually helped me with some other problems like some images were
   pointing to the old address (http), which caused “mixed content warnings” in 
   Chrome. RRS SSL solved this as well. In the end of the day it got fixed more 
   than just the original problem.
 * I got my old fb comment back (which as you see is a pain in the ass to get solved)
   and other minor problems moving to ssl.
 * I recommend you to try it. All that the rrs ssl does is to make sure everything
   internally points to the https version.
 * With the few lines of code you’ll be telling the plugin to not do that with fb
   comments, and thats the trick.
 * Its working really fine for me! 🙂

 * [@escrevapromarcos](https://wordpress.org/support/users/escrevapromarcos/) did
   you activated the RSSSL settings once installed and activated?
    Or left it as
   is? There are 2 activation’s needed as you can see.

 * Ok, thanks, just wanted to verify that I won’t get impacted by activating it.
   
   I’ll take a backup before that anyhow.

 * Yeah, I think that would be a smart move! For me it was smooth. Nothing out of
   the ordinary happened. 2 days running now, havent notice any problem.
