   Does anyone know how to have theaded coments shown the way they are threaded in the comments-popup.php theme template?

   I built my site's theme from scratch and recently I included threaded comments support for single posts and pages but I can't find a way (in this forum or in the codex) to add threded comments functionality in comments-popup.php Can someone recommend me a hack or a whole basic loop to make it possible? <?php wp_list_comments(); ?> does not work in comments popup template...

   In reality my theme's comments-popup.php tamplate is a modification of the one included in Kubric default template...

   Thank you in advance for any help :)

   I'm looking for the same information. The comments-popup.php that comes with the default theme is so out-of-date it does more harm than good in the distribution.

   I have made wp_list_comments() work, however, by passing the list of comments as an argument:

   wp_list_comments(array(), $comments);

   So that's better, but still not all the way there. I explicitly included the javascript in the header, but the functionality when I hit "reply" is still incorrect. I'm in these forums trying to see if anyone has a comments-popup template that isn't years out of date, or at least knows what changes are required in the old popup.

   If you find anything, let me know!

   After banging away for a while longer, I got them working (as far as I can tell so far).

   The procedure is at http://codex.wordpress.org/Migrating_Plugins_and_Themes_to_2.7/Enhanced_Comment_Display but I found it easier to manhandle the form code from comments.php into comments-popup.php

   You still need to pass the arguments to wp_list_comments() as I mentioned above and include the javascript in the header.

   Well, more problems. When a comment is submitted, the popup window reloads with the single-entry page rather than the desired comments-only stuff. Additionally, at least some of the filter functions don't seem to be called during comment display.

   Can someone put me out of my misery and just tell me that comments-popup is no longer supported? (And remove the file from the default style?)

   I've always been amazed that with such talent, WordPress has been so lazy about things like making popup comments a simple option in the settings.

   I can understand why they didn't add nesting to popup comments, but I wish they had at least made it so nested ones would have the @name format in popup mode so you could still tell they were aimed at someone.
