Threaded comment is one of cool function from wordpress, this feature is very useful, even in our opinion, this feature is very important and must be owned on a blog. Why?

  • It enables users to reply on a exist comment, and the discussion will be displayed threaded or nested.
  • Allow your users discuss and reply to each other in up to 10 levels.
  • Will turn the discussion on an article
  • Will allow the reader to follow the developing discussion on an article.

Therefore at all of our Free & Premium wordpress themes, already support for this feature.
