I exported a photo from Lightroom 4 to Facebook and want Lightroom to refresh the Facebook comments shown in the right-hand panel. When I try, Lightroom spends some time processing and then reports: “Can’t download comments for this collection.” The photo was uploaded to my Facebook timeline photos. What causes this, and how can I fix it?

This could be caused by the Facebook Export Plugin having crashed.

This was the case when I asked this question, and after reloading the plugin, it works now.

Generated from our catalog & community — verify before relying on it.

A likely cause is that the Facebook export/publish plugin in Lightroom has crashed or become unresponsive. In the reported case, reloading the plugin resolved the problem and Lightroom could download comments again.

Try restarting or reloading the Facebook plugin/publish service in Lightroom, and if needed restart Lightroom itself. If the connection to Facebook has expired, reauthorizing the service may also help.
