It would be nice if you reported the fix to the plugin's author, so other users will not have a similar problem.</p> I’d add a if ( function_exists( 'sem_smart_link_cache_comments' ) ) statement in there, but otherwise that’s the way to do it.

The fix was a simple as adding <code>sem_smart_link_cache_comments($comments);</code> in the <code>comments.php</code> file provided with the <a href="http://meidell.dk/archives/category/wordpress/threaded-comments/">Brian's threaded comments plugin</a>. If anybody is interested, then I added this just before the <code>foreach($comments as $c)</code> around line 113.</p> Okay, thanks a lot for the reply. The fix was a simple as adding

so basically, to make the threaded comments work together with smart link, you’ll either need to refresh the cache at each node (a poor solution imho) with some kind of refresh_comment_cache function. Or you’ll need to optimize the way the threaded comments gets its comments (a more proper solution).

i’m not sure i understand what you mean with the ’search engine’ feature
