Add "Reply to Comment" to "This comment is already approved. Edit comment"

  • Can we add a “Reply to Comment” link to the message “This comment is already approved. Edit comment” that appears when approving an already approved comment? I sometimes approve a comment, but then come back to it (via the link sent to me via email) and try to approve it again in order to then add a reply. Currently, it is very hard to find the already-approved comment to reply to it.

    There is no clean way with PHP to add a reply link to that message. The message is assigned and immediately echoed out with no intervening filter. Your most reasonable options are to either use javascript or jQuery to add the reply link to the message <div id="moderated"> or add a meta box to the comment edit screen that includes a reply link. You would then follow the edit link to access the reply link.

    I prefer the javascript option myself. The script can extract the comment ID from the edit link for use in building a reply link.
