Overview
When moderating comments in the WordPress Admin area, it is useful to be able to see the parent comment if one exists.
How To Use It
You don’t need to do anything. Simply activate it and the parent comment will appear for comments that have one.
Compatibility
- This plugin requires WordPress 4.2 or above (it probably works on older versions, but I haven’t tested it and you really should be on the latest version!).
- I am not currently aware of any compatibility issues with any other WordPress plugins.
Support
