Facebook is the largest social media network in the world. Therefore, top sites including TechCrunch are using Facebook comment system and avoiding default WordPress comments. In this post, I am going to show you how to install and set up Facebook comments in WordPress.

Before we get to know it, let’s take a look at why would anyone want to use Facebook comments instead of default WordPress comments.

Pros and Cons of Using Facebook Comments in WordPress

The first benefit of using Facebook comments in WordPress is that it boosts your site visibility on Facebook’s network. When someone leaves a comment on your site, they can check the box to share the comment with their Facebook friends. It can give you the potential for additional traffic.

The second benefit of using Facebook comments is that it will remove the anonymity factor, so the users will not leave spammy comments. It is because it will be published on their Facebook profile.

However, it also has a downside too. It is because users do not feel comfortable leaving a comment from their Facebook account or profile due to their sense of anonymity.

Unlike other comment systems such as Disqus, Facebook comments are neither synced to your WordPress comments nor stored. They replace WordPress comments completely. If your post has some posts with WordPress comments, those existing comments will appear after or before Facebook comments.

Now you are aware of pros and cons, now see how to install Facebook comments in WordPress.
