Threaded Comments

I received an email asking how I was able to get my comments to be threaded. Threaded comments show a reply to the comment underneath the original comment. Without them the comments will be listed in the order that they were submitted, and it can get a little confusing.

WordPress 2.7 introduced an awesome new feature called Threaded Comments but it’s not turned on by default.

You’ll need to go to Settings > Discussion from the left side menu, check off the “Enable threaded (nested) comments” option and hit the Save Changes button at the bottom.

PS: Thesis supports threaded comments so you don’t have to do anything to make it work except ensure that it is on!

  1. That is an awesome little tip there. Mine was turned on but I don’t know how because I never knew that beforehand.

    1. Shawn – I can check – it might be the default now, or it is possible that your theme turns it on when you installed it. I will get back to you on this! 🙂
