Is there a hook to update / replace values in the “Enable threaded (nested) comments x levels deep” drop down?

I know how to add a value here that is higher than the max of 10 that is allowed as default (change the value manually in the wp_options table for the value ‘thread_comments_depth’).

However if I change it in the DB directly the interface will override that value if I go into Settings/Discussions and alter anything else in that page.

I really need the drop down itself to have more numeric values in it and for the correct value to be auto selected when the settings page loads.

Method 1

Yes, there is, and it’s named thread_comments_depth_max:

add_filter( 'thread_comments_depth_max', function ( $maxdeep ) {
    return 15;
} );
