• I want to get the parent comment's id in the Ajax handler when I am trying to save comment data passed through $_POST. How can I do that? – Winston Commented Feb 29, 2020 at 2:12
• You need to send the parent comment's ID along with the request. – Jacob Peattie Commented Feb 29, 2020 at 2:19
• But how can I get parent comment's ID with PHP? If I can get it then I can send it though wp_localize_script – Winston Commented Feb 29, 2020 at 2:27

Since you use Ajax, then I would get the current comment from the REST Api, and then get the parent from that.
