    Since a couple of days reply on a comment does not work. The window appears for typing the reply but no cursor appears, no matter if you click on it.
    When copying the actual link of the reply button (for example https://<my site>/?p=892&replytocom=253#respond)and paste in the address bar and enter, the window for reply opens with cursor blinking and I’m able to reply.
    I have nested comments enabled, that is not the issue.
    Does anyone have a clue?

    try a few basic troubleshooting steps:
    – Flushing any caching plugins you might be running, as well as server and/or browser caches.
    – deactivating ALL plugins temporarily to see if this resolves the problem (plugin functions can interfere). If this works, re-activate them individually (one-by-one) to find the problematic plugin(s).
    – If that does not resolve the issue, try switching to the unedited default Twenty Fifteen Theme for a moment using the WP dashboard to rule out any theme-specific issue (theme functions can interfere like plugins).
    – If that does not resolve the issue, try resetting the plugins foldervia FTP or SFTP or whatever file management application your host provides. Sometimes, an apparently inactive plugin can still cause problems.

    Got it! Although I looked in the direction of plugins before, I now found the buggy one. Thanx Tara!
