 * I’ve been using facebook comments for wordpress without problem. But suddenly
   it started asking all my site visitors to fill out captcha before every comment
   and they have stopped commenting on news stories.
 * It shows something like that;
 * Security check
    Captcha required Unknown error
 * This is new and I don’t know what to do next?

 * I have this same problem, but discovered its not a problem with the plugin, but
   with Facebook itself.

 * Just an update on this, Facebook has fixed the bug. Everything should work properly
   again.
