Steps to Enable Threaded Comments in Blogger-Blogspot

1. First of all make sure that your blog feed is set to Full. You can confirm that by going to Settings > Other and then selecting Full from the Allow Blog Feed dropdown.

2. You must also have embedded comment form enabled. Check that by going to Settings > Posts and Comments and check the Comment Location dropdown.

3. After that, open the Template section.

4. Warning: Backup your current template before moving on.
5. Click the Edit HTML button.

6. A new window will open. You'd have to click the Proceed button to start editing.

7. Check Expand Widget Templates option.
8. Find the following line of code:
   

   <b:includable id='postQuickEdit' var='post'>

Once you've found the above line, you'll see this piece of code:

</div>
    </div>
  </div>
</b:includable>
<b:includable id='postQuickEdit' var='post'>


Now, we need to add some code just BEFORE the above code. The code to add is:

<b:if cond='data:blog.pageType == &quot;static_page&quot;'>
          <b:if cond='data:post.showThreadedComments'>
            <b:include data='post' name='threaded_comments'/>
          <b:else/>
            <b:include data='post' name='comments'/>
          </b:if>
        </b:if>
        <b:if cond='data:blog.pageType == &quot;item&quot;'>
          <b:if cond='data:post.showThreadedComments'>
            <b:include data='post' name='threaded_comments'/>
          <b:else/>
            <b:include data='post' name='comments'/>
          </b:if>
        </b:if>

After adding the new code, overall code should look like this:

<b:if cond='data:blog.pageType == &quot;static_page&quot;'>
          <b:if cond='data:post.showThreadedComments'>
            <b:include data='post' name='threaded_comments'/>
          <b:else/>
            <b:include data='post' name='comments'/>
          </b:if>
        </b:if>
        <b:if cond='data:blog.pageType == &quot;item&quot;'>
          <b:if cond='data:post.showThreadedComments'>
            <b:include data='post' name='threaded_comments'/>
          <b:else/>
            <b:include data='post' name='comments'/>
          </b:if>
        </b:if>
      </div>
    </div>
  </div>
</b:includable>
<b:includable id='postQuickEdit' var='post'>


9. Now, we need to find the following piece of code:
   

   <div class='post-outer'>
           <b:include data='post' name='post'/>
           <b:if cond='data:blog.pageType == &quot;static_page&quot;'>
             <b:include data='post' name='comments'/>
           </b:if>
           <b:if cond='data:blog.pageType == &quot;item&quot;'>
             <b:include data='post' name='comments'/>
           </b:if>
           </div>

   
   and REPLACE the above code with the following one:
   

   <div class='post-outer'>
           <b:include data='post' name='post'/>
           <b:if cond='data:blog.pageType == &quot;static_page&quot;'>
             <b:if cond='data:post.showThreadedComments'>
               <b:include data='post' name='threaded_comments'/>
             <b:else/>
               <b:include data='post' name='comments'/>
             </b:if>
           </b:if>
           <b:if cond='data:blog.pageType == &quot;item&quot;'>
             <b:if cond='data:post.showThreadedComments'>
               <b:include data='post' name='threaded_comments'/>
             <b:else/>
               <b:include data='post' name='comments'/>
             </b:if>
           </b:if>
           </div>
