== Frequently Asked Questions ==

= Installation Instructions =

* Install via WordPress admin panel directly (or [download plugin](https://downloads.wordpress.org/plugin/anycomment.zip) and upload into the `/wp-content/plugins/` directory)
* Activate it from `Plugins` section in admin panel
* Go to preferred social media and register to get API access (API key, secrets, etc)
* Specify required API details in special social network settings
* Go to some post and try to authorize using any of the enabled social networks and leave a comment!

= What social networks does AnyComment support? =

So far we support the following:

* Facebook
* Twitter
* Google
* Vkontakte
* Odnoklassniki
* GitHub
* Instagram
* Twitch
* Dribbble
* Yandex
* Mail.Ru
* Steam

= Can I contribute? =

Yes you can! Join in on our [GitHub repository](https://github.com/bologer/anycomment.io)

= Comment form does not load or gives an error? =

AnyComment uses WordPress' REST API.

Please confirm two things:

1. You WordPress is 4.7 or higher (this is when WordPress introduced REST API)
2. Going to `http://yourdomain.com/wp-json/` SHOULD NOT redirected to `http://yourdomain.com` or it give 404 Not Found page

For the first step - just upgrade WordPress, it is good idea anyways.

For the second, check for plugins which make "optimization" of website. Most of them disable REST API.

For example, [Clearfy](https://wordpress.org/plugins/clearfy/) has option "Disable Rest API". Having this option "On" will fail to load comments in AnyComment.

Not yet working?

Use one the links mentioned in the description above to contact us, we will be happy to help you!

= Why Do Socials Ask For Privacy Policy link? =

It is now one of the requirements to have Privacy Policy link on your website due to GDRP regulation.

AnyComment is GDRP compliant.

You can read more about General Data Protection Regulation on [Wikipedia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/General_Data_Protection_Regulation).

Read guide on how to create "Privacy Policy" page:
- [English version](https://anycomment.io/how-to-create-privacy-policy-page-in-wordpress/)
- [Russian version](https://anycomment.io/ru/kak-sozdat-stranitsu-politiki-konfidentsialnosti-v-wordpress/)

= Why Does Facebook Require HTTPs? =

From some recent time, Facebook now required website to have HTTPs connection in order to work with their API and we cannot do anything about it.

Most of the hosting providers support single button-like installation of SSL certificate, so it should not be that difficult.

It could only be difficult for website who have HTTP only and hight traffic as transfer to HTTPs can cause some traffic lose.
