Edit Parent Comment ID

How well this listing is tuned to rank in WordPress.org search, on the factors an owner controls. Not popularity, optimization.

Directory rank vs rivals

wp.org popularity rank over time · higher is better · when a rival's line climbs above yours, they've overtaken you

How often this plugin actually ships. A steady rhythm is the maintenance signal a single "last updated" date can't show.

Share of active installs on each version of this plugin · 100% run the current release. Green is the current release; a big slice on older versions is a user base that has stopped updating.

Refined from the date this plugin crossed into its current band.

No paid tier is visible, so we don't put a figure on revenue or sale value: that would be guessing. The install base is a real asset to an acquirer, just not one public data lets us price. A small install base leaves thin data to model from.

   Works just fine even after 8 yeas from the last update. I’m amazed that there was no easy way to change the comment relations with the native functionality of WordPress. Often the visitor doesn’t care where to comment and create mess on your site. Or even you site manager sometimes mistakenly does that. I tried different plugins that appeared at top of search results but none of them worked (can’t believe) but this one does. I had to login to an old web site that installed this one to find the plugin that works. By the way, this plugin doesn’t seem to appear in the search results of the wordpres.org plugin listing. If you go to Dashboard -> Plugins -> Add New and type the name of this plugin. It doesn’t hit anything. Even changing the search type to Author and type Sergey Biryukov, it doesn’t find it either. I don’t understand why wordpress.org hides this well functioning plugin. The UI is just minimum and simple and does the job.

   If you are looking to edit the parent through the WP backend, use comments-advanced which is know to work.
