 * Hi, I just discovered that as soon as I active Yoast on my website (self-developed
   theme + child theme in a multisite), the otherwise working `comment_reply_link`
   function doesn’t work anymore:
 * Instead of the expected `/?replytocom=6#respond` appended to the URL of the post
   in the link, the link has a a simple `#comment-6` in its href attribute.
 * This is what my code for the comment reply link (in function.php) looks like:
 * `<?php comment_reply_link(array_merge( $args, array('depth' => $depth, 'max_depth'
   => $args['max_depth']))) ?>`
 * Since I can make it work by activating/deactivating Yoast, it seems obvious that
   the reason must be in Yoast. What can I do about it?

 * I just got a working answer on wordpress.stackexchange.com:
 * Version 7 of Yoast removes the replytocom variables by default. But it’s possible
   to add the following filter in the theme’s functions.php to get back the reply-
   to-comments functionality when using Yoast:
 * `add_filter( 'wpseo_remove_reply_to_com', '__return_false' );`
