User icons for comments

  • I have a couple of questions about icons and comments

    I have specified wordpress to how user icons on comments, but they dont show up, is this because of the theme? is there a way i can change it?

    Also, how can i nest the comments? At the moment they appear in a big long list with no option to reply to a specific comment.

  • is this because of the theme

    Almost certainly. Have you tried temporarily switching to the default theme to confirm this?

    is there a way i can change it

    You could try editing your theme’s comments.php to use wp_list_comments() which will show gravatars by default.

    how can i nest the comments?

    Admin/Settings/Discussion. Tick Enable threaded (nested) comments. However, this will only work if you are using a theme that supported nested comments. Again using wp_list_comments() in comments.php as well as ensiring that you have added:

    <?php if(is_singular()) wp_enqueue_script( 'comment-reply' );?>

    just before <?php wp_head(); ?> in header.php should enable comment nesting properly.

    thanks for your reply ??

    I changed the comments.pho and header.php and it worked – the comments show avatars and you can reply, but then all the comments are listed again below

    actually scrap my last comment, you still cant reply to an individual comment, and all the comments are listed twice ??
