 Hello @devlife

 Thanks for your ticket. I've looked into WordPress files and the function
 {{{ get_previous_comments_link }}} seems to be used only in Twenty Fifteen
 theme in {{{ /inc/template-tags L26 }}}

 I tested with the theme with a static page as home page, and the link to
 previous and next comments work correctly (see attached screenshots).

 However, while looking in the source, I noticed that all bundled themes
 before Twenty Fifteen use {{{ previous_comments_link }}} and {{{
 next_comments_link }}} and themes after Twenty Fifteen use {{{
 get_the_comments_navigation }}} (introduced in 4.4 with Twenty Sixteen).

 So, I suggest to close this ticket, and maybe introduce a new one to
 replace {{{ get_previous_comments_link }} by {{{ previous_comments_link }}
 in Twenty Fifteen.

 @davidakennedy @laurelfulford , do you have any thoughts about this? I'm
 wondering if this is not an issue related to bundled themes component.
