Question

I am working on a project which uses some of the Facebook social plugins, mainly comment box plugin. By dev server is open to public but has auth_basic set up. Is it possible to disable the this for Facebook? As the moment when I display the comment box it says

“This url is unreachable”

Answer 1

I managed to this by adding Facebook’s IP addresses to nginx configuration file
