Good Day,
I'm having a problem where commenters just dump a new comment as a reply to the last comment in line under a post, rather than using the comment form at the top of the comments to start a new thread. About half my users are doing this!

I would like to change the text of the reply to a comment link to something like "Reply to COMMENT ABOVE".
I tried doing that in the settings/phrases/Reply to but that did not change it.
I then tried this filter to add to the text and that did nothing.
add_filter("wpdiscuz_after_reply_button", function ($html, $comment, $user, $currentUser) { $html .= "To COMMENT ABOVE"; return $html; }, 10, 4);
Any idea how I can fix this problem?
The example link above has short comment threads, but this is a real problem on some of my Pay walled chapters with a lot of comments.
Hi Again,
Sorry, I screwed up. Wrapped the filter in if(function-exsists()) forgetting that is was a filter not a hook . Duh.
Works now. I will experiment with explanatory text.
Anyway, this does seem to be a real problem with commenters misunderstanding the wpDiscuz layout, so maybe something to think about for future versions.
