Currently I have my comments set so that when you hit “reply” to a comment, it will insert @USERNAME of the person you are replying to. I am trying to find out if wordpress emails that user to let them know that I have replied to a comment they left or if this is something I will have to manually code in?
Does a reply to a wordpress comment notify the author of the comment?
It doesn’t automatically send out emails. You can install a plugin to do that, however. There are quite a few listed in the WordPress plugin repository:

Hope this helps, best of luck!
