Comments under readers' own names
Readers commented as themselves, with their Facebook name and photo, without signing in anywhere new. On Disfora they sign in once, with Google or an email code, or comment as a guest under a name they type.
A Facebook Comments alternative for the pages it left blank.
Facebook switched off its Comments plugin on 10 February 2026. Pages that still embed it show nothing where the comments were. Disfora puts a comment section back in the same place, with no Facebook account, ads or trackers.

What happened to Facebook Comments
On 10 November 2025, Meta announced that the Comments plugin and the Like button for other websites would be discontinued on 10 February 2026.
The code wasn't switched off with an error. Each embed now renders as an invisible 0x0 element, so a page looks finished but the comment section, and every comment in it, has gone from the page. Meta didn't name a replacement or offer a way to export the comments.
If your posts used to end with a Facebook thread, they now end with nothing. Readers have nowhere to reply, and new posts get no discussion at all.

What Facebook Comments did that Disfora doesn't
Sharing to Facebook
Readers could post their comment to their own timeline, which sent their friends back to your page. Disfora doesn't post anywhere outside your site.
Free for any number of sites
Facebook didn't charge. Disfora is free for one site, then $5 a month for three.
Switching from Facebook Comments
-
1
Remove the Facebook code
Delete the fb-comments element and, unless something else on the page needs it, the Facebook SDK script from connect.facebook.net. The comments no longer show, but the script still loads.
-
2
Add your site to Disfora
Create a free account, start a project and enter your domain. No card needed.
-
3
Add Disfora to your pages
Paste the script tag once, and put an empty container where the comments should go. On WordPress, install the Disfora plugin instead: it does this for you.
-
4
Verify your domain
Prove the site is yours with a meta tag, a file or a DNS record. Comments start showing straight away.
-
5
Choose who can comment
Readers sign in with Google or an email code. To let them comment with just a name too, add free Cloudflare Turnstile keys in Settings and turn on guest comments.
Your old comments
Facebook doesn't offer an export of comments made through the plugin, so they can't be brought across. Each page starts with an empty thread.
Disfora matches threads by page address, so as long as your URLs stay the same, every post gets its own thread from the first new comment.
Keep your own copy from day one
Webhooks send every comment to your own server as it's posted, edited or deleted, as signed JSON. They're on the free plan, so your comments don't have to live only in someone else's database.
Questions about switching
Meta discontinued the Comments plugin for other websites on 10 February 2026. The embed code still loads, but it renders as an invisible 0x0 element, so the comment section and its comments no longer show.
No. Facebook doesn't offer an export of comments made through the plugin, so there's nothing to import. Each page starts with a new thread at the same address.
No. Readers sign in with Google or with a code sent to their email, once, and the same account works on every site that runs Disfora. You can also turn on guest comments, so readers can comment with just a name.
Turn on webhooks. Disfora sends every comment to your server as signed JSON when it's posted, edited, moderated or deleted, so you build up your own copy as you go. Webhooks are on the free plan.
Yes. One site is free with comments, ratings, polls, forms, moderation and webhooks. Paid plans add more sites, automations, form email alerts, unbranded widgets and team members.
Put comments back on your site
The free plan covers one site, takes a few minutes to set up and doesn't need a card.
