secondary comment template

Hi, since threading is enabled ( I assume ), it will not be added to the comment text.

To add it even without a reply link, you could still run the filter that is part of the comment reply link.

In wp-includes/comment-template.php at line 1780 there is the filter like:

/**
    * Filters the comment reply link.
    *
    * @since 2.7.0
    *
    * @param string     $link    The HTML markup for the comment reply link.
    * @param array      $args    An array of arguments overriding the defaults.
    * @param WP_Comment $comment The object of the comment being replied.
    * @param WP_Post    $post    The WP_Post object.
    */
return apply_filters( 'comment_reply_link', $args['before'] . $link . $args['after'], $args, $comment, $post );

I think you can use it like:

echo apply_filters( 'comment_reply_link', '', array(), $comment, $post );

If $comment and $post are instances of those objects it should return the “report comment” link.
Can you manage?

<?php
comment_reply_link(
array(
'reply_text'    => ' ',
'depth' =>  $depth,
'max_depth' => 2
)
);
?>

I could directly use it like this in template, but then I must hide the link by CSS ??

Sure, that should be possible too.

What is your question? ??
