You cannot successfully > remove the filter before it has been added. * The trick is to add a new action hook that occurs after `init` — so I just chose` wp_head`, but there is [a list of other action hooks you could use](http://codex.wordpress.org/Plugin_API/Action_Reference). * Here is my code. * ``` add_action( 'wp_head', 'fix_fb_comment_placement' ); function fix_fb_comment_placement() { remove_filter('the_content', 'fb_comments_automatic', 30); } ``` * Then, in your comments.php file (or wherever you want the comments to show up, include this line of code: `` * Thread Starter [Pancho Perez](https://wordpress.org/support/users/lonchbox/) * (@lonchbox) * [13 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-facebook-comments-outside-the_content/#post-2871169) * hey [@nickd32](https://wordpress.org/support/users/nickd32/), I give a try, thanx 🙂 * [nickd32](https://wordpress.org/support/users/nickd32/) * (@nickd32) * [13 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-facebook-comments-outside-the_content/#post-2871173) * Note that this solution doesn’t work in the new version (1.1.8) of the plugin, as the ‘fb_comments_automatic’ filter has been removed from the plugin. * [nickd32](https://wordpress.org/support/users/nickd32/) * (@nickd32) * [13 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-facebook-comments-outside-the_content/#post-2871174) * OK, here’s my new fix. This gets a little more tricky, since now the comment code is in a separate PHP class. * Place this in your functions.php file: * ``` add_action( 'wp_head', 'fix_fb_comment_placement' ); function fix_fb_comment_placement() { $priority = apply_filters( 'facebook_content_filter_priority', 30 ); remove_filter( 'the_content', array( 'Facebook_Comments', 'the_content_comments_box' ), $priority ); } ``` * Place this inside your comments.php file (or wherever you want the FB comments box to go…) * ``` the_content_comments_box(); ?> ``` * I decided to turn comments on/off based on whether regular WP comments were on for a particular post: * ``` the_content_comments_box(); } ?> ``` * [artabria](https://wordpress.org/support/users/artabria/) * (@artabria) * [13 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-facebook-comments-outside-the_content/#post-2871175) * Trying your code in my blog; this is WordPress’ response -> * Warning: **Missing argument 1** for Facebook_Comments::the_content_comments_box(), called in /wp-content/themes/Web-Site-Name-2012-01-18-235702/single.php on line 79 and defined in /wp-content/plugins/facebook/social-plugins/class-facebook- comments.php on line 438 * Thread Starter [Pancho Perez](https://wordpress.org/support/users/lonchbox/) * (@lonchbox) * [13 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-facebook-comments-outside-the_content/#post-2871176) * @rickd32 thanx for the new code for the update fo the plugin 🙂 I give a try soon. * [tatof](https://wordpress.org/support/users/tatof/) * (@tatof) * [13 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-facebook-comments-outside-the_content/#post-2871183) * got the same error! what to do :(? * [Andrew Nevins](https://wordpress.org/support/users/anevins/) * (@anevins) * WCLDN 2018 Contributor | Volunteer support * [13 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-facebook-comments-outside-the_content/#post-2871184) * Create your own thread on the issue, Tatof.
