How to change the depth of nested comments (and add an "if" clause)

    Hello.

    I just noticed that after 5 replies of nested comments it’s not possible to reply to that comment directly anymore.
    I use only an image as “reply” option, no text. If I hover over the image, nothing happens.

    First of all I want to know where I can change the depth value.
    I couldn’t find it in my theme’s comment.php, so I guess it must be somewhere in wp-includes comment.php?

    Also, apart from changing the value.
    Is it possible to end an “if”-command so that it just will stop showing the “reply” image and show a “cannot reply anymore” kind of thingie instead if the depth value is reached?

    I hope you understand what you want.

    I kind of got an idea of what to do here, but I still don’t get it.

    Thanks soooo much for any help or advice!!!

  • First of all I want to know where I can change the depth value.

    ‘settings’ ‘discussion’ ‘other comments settings’ -> ‘Enable threaded (nested) comments [5] levels deep’

    to suggest anything for the other part of your question, it would help to know the theme you are using, and a link to your site.

    Awesome, thanks so much!!!

    Who would have thought that it’s that easy??!!
    With that I also figured out how to do the “no reply” after nested replies aren’t possible anymore.

    A simple modification in the stylesheet does the trick:
    .depth-10 .reply {
    }
    With that I just insert another background image that displays a “no reply”.

    Thanks so much!
