This needs to be checked in order for your Facebook comments to appear. Once this is checked, enter your Facebook App ID to complete setting up Facebook comments.

Show Social Bar

If this is checked, the social media bar will show underneath the pages on the sidebar. The social media bar is a row of circle buttons that can give users one click access to your profiles or other website. Simply submit the following in order to have the links show up in the social bar.

Static Sidebar

The sidebar is default position fixed, meaning it won’t move when the page scrolls. However, if you have a lot of pages and a large description / blog title - this means content on your sidebar may not be visible to users with small resolutions. If you enable a static sidebar, then the sidebar will scroll with the page allowing for all sidebar content to be visible.
