Should you Replace Default WP Comment Box to Facebook Comments: Some Pros and Cons

One cannot but agree that Facebook comments can potentially make a WordPress blog more popular on the web and increase its traffic. But this is only if users check the box to share the comment left with their virtual friends.

In addition, the so-called anonymity factor disappears . It is unlikely that spam comments will be added to Facebook, as they are all tied to real user accounts.

But at the same time, you can find the disadvantages of such a system. Many users prefer anonymity and not at all because they want to write something bad or leave spam. No. The point is exclusively in the psychological moment and in the feeling of discomfort and embarrassment that they experience when speaking out in public. This factor can reduce user activity.

Unlike other comment systems, such as Disqus, Facebook comments do not sync with native WordPress comments. They completely replace them. If the old posts already have WordPress comments, they will be displayed before or after new comments added via the Facebook form.

Here, perhaps, are all the pros and cons of Facebook comments.
