Why doesn’t wordpress consider nested comments when Paginating!

  • In discussion settings I set the number to “Break comments into pages with” at 5. However wordpress doesn’t take nested comments into consideration during pagination. So if I have 5 regular comments on a page the next comment will be posted on the next page. However, if I have 100 nested comments on a page they will all stay on the same page.

    This person also had the same problem but never received a reply:

    Does anyone know how to make WordPress take nested comments into account when paginating?

  • This is probably not taken into consideration for read-ability purposes. If a comment has several sub comments, paginating on the sub comments could result in you ending up on a page of all subcomments without any context as to what they are commenting on. I know that doesn’t really help, but just a thought from a usability perspective.

    There seems to have been an update to this, but it introduced a new bug.

    I have it set to break at 50 comments. If I have 51 first-level comments, when I go to the post page I see the 51st comment and a link for the previous comments. But if I have 49 first-level comments and 2 second-level comments, I get no visible comments and no link to previous comments.
