If there are no more replies, then it just returns an empty string. For this post [Radware Captcha Page](https://networklessons.com/cisco/ccna-routing-switching-icnd1-100-105/introduction-to-ethernet/) what I’m seeing is 3 replies on the forum and 3 replies displayed on WordPress, so `more_replies` is returning an empty string. Are there cases on your site where there are more replies on the forum than are displayed on WordPress and the `more_replies` text is empty?

I see that I should add a filter to the `more_replies` text. I can do that right away.
