How to Enable Blogger Comment Thread System

This is the ultimate source by which you can get your comment box back on the track. So let's do it now.

Login to your blogger Dashboard > Template > Edit HTML
Click inside the template editor and press Ctrl + F to search for the following code

<b:includable id='threaded-comment-form' var='post'>...</b:includable>

You will find the many similar lines of codes but you must locate the same code as I mentioned it above
Click on the three dots to expand this code

When you click these three dots the code will look like this:

<b:includable id='threaded-comment-form' var='post'> <div class='comment-form'> <div id='form-wrapper'> <b:if cond='data:mobile'> <p><data:blogCommentMessage/></p> <data:blogTeamBlogMessage/> <b:if cond='data:blog.pageType == "static_page"'> <a expr:href='"http://www.blogger.com/comment-iframe.g?blogID=" + data:blog.blogId + "&amp;pageID=" + data:post.id' id='comment-editor-src' title='comment editor'/> <iframe class='blogger-iframe-colorize blogger-comment-from-post' height='410' id='comment-editor' name='comment-editor'/> </b:if> <b:if cond='data:blog.pageType == "item"'> <data:post.friendConnectJs/> <data:post.cmtfpIframe/> <script type='text/javascript'> BLOG_CMT_createIframe('<data:post.appRpcRelayPath/>', '<data:post.communityId/>'); </script> </div> </b:includable>

Replace the whole code with the following piece of codes

Finally, hit Save template
