 I have enabled threaded comments on my wordpress. Someone recently
 "replied to" a comment when it should be a brand new comment. I searched
 as best I could (but suspect that I may need to know the answer before
 asking the question in a search of the documentation). I asked in the WP
 forum (https://wordpress.org/support/topic/how-to-move-comment-that-was-
 nested-in-error/) how to modify the comment parent within the WP-admin
 area WITHOUT using a plugin.

 Alas, it appears that the only way to achieve this is to go directly into
 the database and edit the wp_comments table. This solution may be okay for
 anyone who isn't afraid to go into the database, but isn't ideal for many
 WP users.

 There are plugins that have been created, but at least two of them are no
 longer being updated. Therefore, for future WP updates, can this aspect of
 comment editing be made available in the WP-admin area?


 ejm, (using WP6.4.1)
