 * Hey guys, does anyone know how to get nested comments to work?
 * I enabled it in dashboard and added this line in comments.php
 * <?php comment_reply_link(‘reply_text=Reply’); ?>
 * Nothing happens.. been reading a bunch of tutorials online but they do not work
   either.
 * I am using version 2.9.2

 * hello esmi, thx for reply,
 * I took a look at your link but could not find anything about nesting / threaded
   comments.
 * Do you mean to say that I need to be using wp_list_comments() to get the comment_reply_link()
   to work?
 * If that is so then is there any way I can get comment_reply_link() to work without
   using wp_list_comments() ??

 * Exactly! If you need a customised comment display, use the custom callback parameter.

 * Assuming your comments are on single post pages, you’d need to ensure that you
   added:
 * `<?php if ( is_singular() ) wp_enqueue_script( 'comment-reply' ); ?>`
 * to header.php – preferably just before `<?php wp_head(); ?>`. But I have to admit
   that I’ve never tried to get it working without wp_list_comments.
