Suggested improvement: answer redirection

  • Currently, the plugin redirects an answer to the permalink for the parent question. That’s good, but it could be better.

    What would be nicer would be if it would redirect to that specific answer on the parent question. Otherwise, the user is forced to scroll down all the answers to try to find the right one.

    In other words, you need to create an id for the answer to which the browser would scroll when redirected to the question page.

    OK, here’s the solution:

    In /inc/template.php change this line:

    wp_safe_redirect( get_permalink( $question_id ) );

    to this:

    wp_safe_redirect( get_permalink( $question_id ) . '#' . get_the_id() . '');

    In /templates/content-single-answer.php change this line:

    <div class="<?php echo dwqa_post_class() ?>">

    to this:

    <div id="<?php echo get_the_id() ?>" class="<?php echo dwqa_post_class() ?>">

    It would be good to see these changes included in the next update.

    Hello KTS915, if it is inside loop for answers, you can use also
    echo $post->guid . '#' $post->ID .

    Unfortunately, the update did not contain this fix.

    That’s what happens when you mark a thread resolved when it isn’t.
