Modify Comment Parent
by Sal Ferrarello on WordPress.org

The backend comment edit page.
Sometimes when replying to a comment, I fail to reply and instead create a new
comment. This prevents the comment thread from displaying properly. In the
past, I’ve fixed this directly in the database. This plugin, allows me to fix
it from the backend comment edit screen.
There are other plugins with similar functionality, however they either worked differently than I prefer or included additional functionality. One of these other plugins may meet your needs better.
- Change Comment Parent allows you to modify the parent comment by clicking on the comments on the front-end.
- Yoast Comment Hacks includes many different pieces of comment related functionality, this is one of them.
