Facebook Comment Box - Change Domain

Question

First, Sorry for my English - I'm from Austria.

Hy guys!

I made a website, and before the launch of the website, i add the comment box (Link) with the url from the developer server.

Now, the website is online, and many people has posted with their Facebook Accounts on the new page, before i realize, that i has forgot changing the URL at the relaunch.

My Question: Is it possible, to change the domain (from dev.example1.com, to example2.com), and keep the existing comments?

I dont find any solutions on google and co, so i hope someone can help me!

(Fur sure its not possible to say the peoble, they should post the same things again :))

Thanks! Chris

Answer 1

Those comments are stored in facebook's database and they are associated with your application's XID rather than your domain. So, those comments will still exist even after changing the domain name
