First thing you need to do is install and activate the DX Unanswered Comments plugin. Upon activation, simply visit Comments screen. There you will see two new filters “Non-replied and Non-replied Top level” at the top of the screen.

The non-replied filter will display all unanswered comments, while non-replied top-level will only show top level unanswered comments.

Note: any registered user on your site can answer comments to mark them as answered. This means that not only admin user, but any user with any user role can answer to comments, and the plugin will stop showing that comment as unreplied.
