 * hello community,
 * iam a little bit confused –
    has wordpress some core functionality to do comment
   managment form the front end with ajax support? i found some functions pointing
   in this direction in the api doc:
    - [wp_ajax_replyto_comment](https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/functions/wp_ajax_replyto_comment/)
    - [wp_ajax_get_comments](https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/functions/wp_ajax_get_comments/)
 * but maybe these are only for the wp backend?
 * if i need to do this myself –
    can you point me to a up to date tutorial or simple
   plugin? (i have a custom child-theme already – so i can add / change functionality..)
 * sunny greetings
    stefan

 * As wp-admin resource, those functions are unlikely to be available for front 
   end Ajax requests. While your own Ajax handler could include their file in its
   process, there are likely additional dependencies that could be difficult to 
   resolve. I don’t think it’s worth the effort. This doesn’t mean you couldn’t 
   use their source code as guidance for your own efforts.
 * Searching for “ajax comments” in the plugins directory yields a few results that
   look promising, though there are a lot of false positive results as well. You
   can also use the default comment handling as guidance into what your Ajax handler
   would need to do.

 * thanks bcworkz,
 * hm ok – so no ready *build in* solution..
 * i currently experiment with the plugin [wp-ajaxify-comments](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/wp-ajaxify-comments/)
 * seems to be the fastest and easiest way..
    (if i get it working in my custom 
   setup..)
