   I'm using threaded comments, but sometimes my commenters don't quite get the concept of replying to an existing comment rather than the post as a whole.

   Is there a way to move a comment so that it becomes a reply to an existing one?

   Many thanks in advance!

   Could use phpMyAdmin and look at the 'comment_parent' field/column in the wp_comments table.

   Backup your database before attempting!!!!!!!! See WordPress Backups.

   Hm... yeah, I could poke around in the database. I confess I was hoping there might exist a more convenient, maybe plugin-based, solution. Thanks for the suggestion, though! Now I know what column to look in...

   I was just looking for exactly the same functionality / plugin. This look like it does it, though I'd prefer it to work in the admin interface... http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/move-wordpress-comments/
