Title: Need help adding "Reply To" coding to "Comments" Last modified: August 21, 2016 --- # Need help adding "Reply To" coding to "Comments" * [Jae](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jae-ha-kim/) * (@jae-ha-kim) * [13 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/need-help-adding-reply-to-coding-to-comments/) * Hi, * I’d like to add a “reply to” function to my comments section. I’ve tried the various bits of advice I’ve seen online and still can’t get it to work. Can anyone here guide me? * Here’s a sample post on my [website](http://www.jaehakim.com/jae-ha-kim-blog/a-summers-day/#comment-3152). * What coding should I use, and where should I put it in my comments.php? * FWIW: I do have the “Enable threaded (nested) comments” for “3 levels deep.” Viewing 4 replies - 1 through 4 (of 4 total) * [Michael](https://wordpress.org/support/users/alchymyth/) * (@alchymyth) * [13 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/need-help-adding-reply-to-coding-to-comments/#post-3787260) * what theme are you using? * what are your _**dashboard – settings – discussion**_ ? * whare do you need to show the ‘reply to’? * Thread Starter [Jae](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jae-ha-kim/) * (@jae-ha-kim) * [13 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/need-help-adding-reply-to-coding-to-comments/#post-3787261) * Hi alchymyth, * My apologies. I hit “enter” before I had even finished writing my first question. While I was editing it, I see that you’ve already replied. Thank you! * — I’m using ELEGANT TONIGHT (which has been tweaked) * — For the dashboard-settings-discussion: I have these items checked off: Allow people to post comments on new articles Comment author must fill out name and e-mail Enable threaded (nested) comments 3 levels deep Break comments into pages with top level comments per page and the page displayed by default * — I’d like the “reply to” function to show up at the bottom of each person’s comment * Thread Starter [Jae](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jae-ha-kim/) * (@jae-ha-kim) * [13 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/need-help-adding-reply-to-coding-to-comments/#post-3787266) * Also, I saw on an old forum post here that you can add a “reply to” function ( threading) by inputting this code: * * in the comments.php. * I did this, but it didn’t make any changes. * FWIW: I like the way my comments section looks and am not looking to change anything other than to add a “reply to” function so that people can respond to specific comments. Right now, there are two comments on my blog post [here](http://www.jaehakim.com/jae-ha-kim-blog/a-summers-day/#comment-3152). I can’t figure out how to modify the coding so that Sam’s response could show up under Mary’s comment. * [Michael](https://wordpress.org/support/users/alchymyth/) * (@alchymyth) * [13 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/need-help-adding-reply-to-coding-to-comments/#post-3787347) * please contact the theme’s developer or vendor for support. * this forum only supports themes from [http://wordpress.org/themes/](http://wordpress.org/themes/) Viewing 4 replies - 1 through 4 (of 4 total) The topic ‘Need help adding "Reply To" coding to "Comments"’ is closed to new replies. ## Tags * [Coding](https://wordpress.org/support/topic-tag/coding/) * [Comments](https://wordpress.org/support/topic-tag/comments/) * In: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) * 4 replies * 2 participants * Last reply from: [Michael](https://wordpress.org/support/users/alchymyth/) * Last activity: [13 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/need-help-adding-reply-to-coding-to-comments/#post-3787347) * Status: not resolved ## Topics ### Topics with no replies ### Non-support topics ### Resolved topics ### Unresolved topics ### All topics
