Here you can set the source for the comments to be displayed on your Facebook page. If you set Current page in the source field, the plugin will automatically display the comments on the page it’s installed on, and if you set a Custom Link in this field, you can display the comments on the link page, that doesn’t have to be the one with the plugin. To give you the highest possible degree of customization, we’ve included the Number of Posts field. In this field you can set the number of posts displayed in the plugin.
