Default Arguments

The following default arguments are used unless found in the optional $args argument:

page

type
The type of comment (not used directly). Defaults to 'all'.
per_page
Number of comments per page. Defaults to 0.
max_depth
Maximum depth to be considered for comments, when threaded (not used directly). Defaults to ''
