Topic-icon Changing text color in facebook comments and like (content plugin)

Noa,
I have some bad news for you. On March 1st, Facebook announced a new Comment system. This new Comment system does not allow the inclusion of CSS files anymore. Originally, when we read the post, we thought that for users of the 'older' method, they would still be allowed to include CSS files. Unfortunately, that appears to not be the case, and there will be no way to include external CSS files going foward.

All of the changes were supposed to go into effect at the end of April, but we're already seeing limited (or no) use of external CSS files being a part of the comment box. There's nothing we can do about this, I'm sorry to say.

If you'd like to read the post, please see it below. Additionally, if you search for "css", you'll see another user complaining of the same issue. A Facebook moderator does say that they're looking into ways to have an option for a dark background, but no timeline is given.

I hope this helps, and good luck!

That is bad, really! But I understand that is not your fault. I hope FB fix it soon.
BTW am I using the last comment upgrade or did it came out after my subscription expired? My version of JFB connect is 3.1.2
If I change from light to dark in the plugin´s color scheme option nothing changes... Is this normal?
Thanks!

Noa

Version 3.2 of JFBConnect was just released on Thursday last week. There were a ton of new features added and other goodies, including a lot of additional options for targetting what category, section, or article the Content plugin actually displays in. For more information on the big features in this release, check out our blog post:

or the full changelog:

With the announcement of the change to the Comment module, Facebook removed the colorscheme option. They've announced that they plan to re-add it soon, but it's not available yet. There were lots of changes to the comment box recently, and the 3.2 version of JFBConnect uses the newer box. 3.1.x uses the older box, which Facebook no longer recommends using (but continue to support for now).

Hope that helps, and good luck!
