Lazy Social Comments

⚠️ This plugin has been discontinued and will not receive further updates.

Facebook (Meta) permanently shut down the Facebook Comments embed (along with other social plugins) on February 10, 2026 . Since this plugin’s only purpose was to lazy load the Facebook Comments embed, it can no longer function. This is a Facebook decision and there is no workaround.

What this final version does

• Removes all Facebook Comments code from your site.
• Restores native WordPress comments automatically.
• Shows an admin notice explaining the situation.

What you should do

1. 01Deactivate and delete this plugin.
2. 02Your site will continue using native WordPress comments.
3. 03Want a modern comment section again? Try Convocept , described below.

Important note about old comments

Comments posted through Facebook Comments were stored by Facebook, not in your WordPress database. They cannot be exported or recovered.

Looking for an alternative? Try Convocept

Convocept is a free, fast, native comment system from the same team. It gives your readers a modern comment section — threaded replies, upvotes, email subscriptions and moderation tools — and it is built so that what happened with Facebook Comments cannot happen to your comments again:

• Your comments stay on your site. Every comment is a normal WordPress comment in your own database. No outside service holds them, so no outside service can switch them off.
• Fast like this plugin was. Convocept loads no JavaScript until readers reach the comments, so the comment section never slows down the page.
• No account needed. Readers comment with a name and email, as in WordPress. No Facebook login, no third-party tracking.
• Works with the comments you have now. This final version already switched your site back to native WordPress comments; Convocept shows them in its new design the moment you activate it.
