 * The [Facebook Comments Box social plugin](https://developers.facebook.com/docs/plugins/comments/)
   is associated with a URL passed in its href parameter. The webpage also has an
   og:url value used as a fallback for like, share, and other activity.
 * The Facebook plugin for WordPress uses your WordPress permalink passed through
   the `facebook_rel_canonical` filter to specify og:url and Comments Box values.

 * Ok… But can I edit the data on facebook app to change the older url to the new?
   If that is possible i will lose no comments.
 * thanks.
