The theme now treats WordPress comments as a first-class publishing surface. Threaded replies, moderation, avatars, paging, and comment status remain powered by WordPress core.
Designed for real conversations
Theme controls decide where discussion appears and how it is presented, while site owners keep using Settings → Discussion for policy and workflow.
Can I keep discussions enabled on release notes while leaving synchronized reference Pages closed?
Yes. WordPress stores comment status per post, and the theme also provides separate visibility controls for Pages and posts.
The separate reply button and active thread styling work especially well on mobile.
