How to enable threaded comments in WordPress

by Karen on April 4, 2010

I just learned that as of WordPress 2.7 (current version is 2.9.2), you can enable threaded comments by the click of a box. I had no idea. When I first started my blog, I much more trouble than necessary trying to upload and enable a threaded comment plug-in. Now it’s all built into WordPress.

1. Go to the Settings box on the left side of your dashboard, and click on the subtitle Discussion…. that looks like this:

2. Then simply go down to the bottom of the list of Other comment settings and click the box for Enable threaded (nested) comments.

Threaded comments make your reply to a commenter indented, and nice and neat (the way I like it!).  Thanks to the ever helpful Norcross for pointing out this simple trick to me.
