# Threaded comments/Replying to comments

 * Hi 🙂
 * I am currently using the default Kubrik theme.
 * I added `<?php $withcomments = 1; ?>` and `<?php comments_template( 'comments.
   php' ); ?>` to the index.php
 * I can see the post and its comments in the index page.
 * Usually, when replying to threaded comments, the comment form will automatically
   change its location to just below the comment you are trying to reply to.
 * However, when I click “reply” the page just refresh and brought me to the following
   address: [http://localhost/wp/?replytocom=9#respond](http://localhost/wp/?replytocom=9#respond)
 * My wordpress default path is located at /wp and I didn’t changed the url rewrite
   settings.
 * Any help?
 * Thanks in advance 🙂

 * WordPress will not show comments on the index by default, you need the $withcomments
   = 1 in order to obtain that functionality..
 * Clicking reply links only updates particular data so that the comment is registered
   as reply-to type comment (i think literally just a few input values are updated).
   The link it pointed you to is just the comment form’s anchor…
 * Is there something missing from that URL, because otherwise it looks perfectly
   normal…
 * Do comments end up in the right place?
 * Need a few more details..

    So that I can list all the
   comments of the posts in the index using <?php comments_template( ‘comments.php’);?

    I did enable $withcomments
   = 1.
 * The comments end up in the right place, they are showing up fine, and the reply
   box is there too. I can even reply normally, although I end up in the post’s 
   single.php instead of staying at index.php
 * If it is possible, try modifying the default kubrick index.php and just add $
   withcomments = 1 and <?php comments_template( ‘comments.php’ ); ?> in the loop
   in case it’s hard to understand 😛
 * Thanks for the replies!

 * I understand, i mentioned the withcomments variable for esmi.
 * I see the problem, after a comment is submitted you’re redirected to the single
   entry URL. I’ve no idea how to change that unfortunately.
 * I’ve no doubt there is a simple way, i’ve not dealt with the problem before though,
   so i can’t offer anything to help….
 * Try the wp-hackers mailing list…
