 * Hello,
 * I experienced a problem with my current SEO plugin, when active it disabled the
   Reply button function. I switched to Yoast and found that that has the same problem.
   Searching on your forums, I found a solution recommended over two years ago and
   gave it a try. And, it worked. Here is the forum thread:
 * [https://wordpress.org/support/topic/this-plugin-breaks-the-reply-to-comment-feature-of-my-website/#post-12873621](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/this-plugin-breaks-the-reply-to-comment-feature-of-my-website/#post-12873621)
 * My question is this: Is this problem perpetuating in Yoast’s latest version or
   is it stemming from something else? Is there a permanent solution to this? I 
   did not have this problem about two months ago.
 * Thank you,
 * Cemal

 * [@acekin](https://wordpress.org/support/users/acekin/) Regarding our question,
   the bug that caused the `wpseo_remove_reply_to_com` filter to not work was resolved
   in the 14.1 release of the plugin, which you can see [here](https://yoast.com/wordpress/plugins/seo/change-log-wordpress-seo/).
 * As for a permanent solution, it is the expected behavior of the plugin to remove
   the **replytocom** variable, so if you don’t want this feature to be enabled 
   the way to disable it is by adding the following to your theme’s **functions.
   php** file:
 * `add_filter( 'wpseo_remove_reply_to_com', '__return_false' );`
