Recently Facebook launches the Facebook Connect APIs which provides the great functionalities like single sign-on, avatars, and News Feed publication of comments within your WordPress blogs. It is very simple to implement Facebook Connect with your WordPress blogs and here are the few simple steps to achieve it successfully.
Step 1
Download / Install and activate the best Facebook Connect plugin WP-FacebookConnect for WordPress. You can also Search WP-FacebookConnect from Plugins>Add New of your WordPress dashboard.
Step2
Implement the following changes in your comment.php files located under your current WordPress theme folder.
Open the file comment.php file and locate the following code:
<?php if ( $user_ID ) : ?>
...
...
Add this php-function above your code, this will call the Facebook Connect buttons besides your comments fields. Here is the code to include :
<div style="float:right;">
<?php do_action('fbc_display_login_button') ?>
</div>
Step3
Configure your Facebook Connect Plugin Options and enter the API Key and Secret Key generated from Facebook application registration page
The final button will look like below
How this plugin works?
Whenever a user wants to comments he need not any logins and just require a Facebook authentication. This works on the principle of WordPress login cookie which is set by the plugin as soon as the WordPress and Facebook accounts are linked and the Facebook user ID is verified. The best thing about the Facebook Connect is that users need not any registrations or require any forms filling as all the user with verification will be automatically logged into the blog.

Honey very useful post but how we can implement this on Thesis wordpress theme since they don’t have comment.php file..??
And please enable Subscribe to comment option so that I can follow up this conversation.
@Harsh
Techprone too have the Thesis Theme and is very easy to implement “Facebook Connect” in it.
Go to your theme folder and find the comment.php file (It is available for every wordpress theme including Thesis)
after opening your comment.php file you can follow the instructions described above to include the “Facebook connect” tags.
Bother me if you have any issues !

It has pedagogical purpose to enable students to think critically about the issue of evaluation and rubrics, and therefore to think critically about their own submissions. ,
actually i just tried this on a Thesis WP site, and it didn’t work
@mihnea
Where you faced the problem?
It works like cream for me !
Thanks for making my morning a little bit better with this great article!!
Apparently, a lot of Thesis users are having issues trying to implement this (me not an exception). You have not done so here on your blog either, do you?
Anyway, nice tut!
