Use comment_reply_link arguments to wrap reply link

[thomasguillot]

Avoid empty div if no reply link

wp-includes/comment-template.php

<div class="reply">
	<?php comment_reply_link( array_merge( $args, array( 'add_below' => $add_below, 'depth' => $depth, 'max_depth' => $args['max_depth'] ) ) ); ?>
</div>

to

<?php
	comment_reply_link( array_merge( $args, array(
		'add_below' => $add_below,
		'depth'     => $depth,
		'max_depth' => $args['max_depth'],
		'before'    => '<div class="reply">',
		'after'     => '</div>',
	) ) );
?>

+1 here. I would like to see the patch refreshed and the HTML comment removed from the 'after' argument.

Just looked into this- and no need for a patch anymore. It seems as though this got solved somewhere along the line.

My fault! Looks like this was fixed in 29908
