Hi @vladytimy

Thanks for analyzing this so quickly and finding the ticket. This is really helpful.

Many thanks.

I got the same message since I upgraded from 5.6 to 5.6.1. Even when I do not change anything in Classic Editor, the Java Script popup asks me if I really want to leave the page.

Before (5.6 and lower) I was only asked this when I have changed anything and did not save.

Thank you very much, that is exactly the problem I am having. I will comment in the bug as well.

Some people complained about the “1 page per comment” solution, so I downgraded to 4.6.1.

It now works again.

I don’t think it is Akismet as hundreds of thousands of WordPress pages use it, so we would see more reactions.

I have now also upgraded another blog without the Subscribe to Comments Reloaded plugin. It has the same problem. So I don’t think it is Plugin related.

It must be an oversight in core WordPress 4.7.

I have to check if I can file somewhere a bug report because this is really annoying.

No, I am self-hosted on an IIS server. Let’s check if it is in cunjunction with any plugins, I have installed:

Akismet
Cloudflare
Disable Emojis
Disable Google Fonts
Disable Smart Quote
Link Manager
Official Statcounter Plugin
Subscribe to comments reloaded

Do you have any of those?

BTW, I have now done a workaround which works for me. Go to

Settings > Discussion

Break comments into pages with 1 top level comments and the LAST page displayed by default

Comments should be displayd with the OLDER comments at the top of each page

This solution is ok for me as I have normally many answers to a comment, so I have all the answers and the original comment on one page.

Still, WordPress should fix the issue.

I have exactly the same problem since the upgrade to WordPress version 4.7. It takes you to the page with the oldest comments after posting. Also the links in the “Latest Comments” Widget are now wrong, they point to the page with the oldest comments.

@hardeepasrani Changing those settings did not help.

There must have been a code change with version 4.7 that messes up the comments. Rolling back to 4.6 cures the problem.
