Reverse comment pagination numbers

1 Views

I would like to reverse the comment pagination numbers so that the newest comments show on page 1 instead of the last page. I did an array_reverse for the comments_array and set the WordPress Discussion Settings to first page displayed by default – everything works fine except when someone leaves a comment it doesn’t take in consideration the array_reverse and it takes the user to the link where the comment would be without the array reverse and obviously the comment is not there.

I noticed that the redirect comes from wp-comments-post.php

$location = empty($_POST['redirect_to']) ? get_comment_link($comment_id) : $_POST['redirect_to'] . '#comment-' . $comment_id;

Is there a way to get the correct redirect link after a comment is submitted? Or is there a simpler way to get the comment pagination numbers reversed?
Thanks in advance!

  1. i’ve used 

    wp_list_comments

    like this:

    <?php if (class_exists('Walker_Comment_Wink'))
    $walker = new Walker_Comment_Wink();
  else
    $walker = '';

 wp_list_comments(array('walker' => $walker, 'type' => 'comment' , 'callback' => 'theme_comment2')); ?>

    i used the plugin http://winkpress.com/articles/fix-reversed-comments-pagination/ to fix the “* and 1 comment” weirdness.

    You have the option to pass

    $reverse_top_level (boolean) (optional)
    Setting this to true will display the most recent comment first then going back in order.
    Default: null

    you can check it in action here http://www.joaoleitao.com/viagens/acerca-do-autor/

  2. Wouldn’t it achievable withing the admin discussion setting page?

    Break comments into pages with N top level comments per page and the
    First/Last page displayed by default. Comments should be displayed
    with the older/newer comments on the top of each page.
