FAQ

Why this plugin?

Normal Facebook comments plugins will drag your website speed down. This plugin won’t.

Wait, how?

By lazy loading FB scripts and comments only when needed.

Please explain, how this plugin lazy loads?

Comments and scripts will be loaded only after user clicking on a “Load Comments” (of course you can customize this button text too) button, or after scrolling down. You select any of these lazy load methods.

How can I add custom post type support?

It’s easy. You can use lfc_supported_post_types filter to add custom post type support. Add following line to your theme’s functions.php or in your custom plugin.

add_filter( 'lfc_supported_post_types', 'mycustom_add_lfc_cpt_support' ); function mycustom_add_lfc_cpt_support( $post_types ) { // Here mycpt is your custom post type name. $post_types[] = 'mycpt'; return $post_types; }

Where can I moderate the comments?

Once you configure the plugin with APP ID, you will find the moderation page link on the plugin settings page.
