Issue on [permalink] – link not working

Is there no solution on this? Any help would be great.

Kind regards

Hi @newslicer,
Thanks for your message.

Do you know if your theme is re-writing permalinks or re-driecting them at all? It’s possible that BNFW is using what WordPress *thinks* is the correct permalink but actual links are being created another way within the theme.
It might also be worth re-saving your permalink structure twice, just to make sure everything is working within WordPress as it should and then trying again.

Let me know how you get on.

Thanks,
Jack

Hi Jack,

thanks a lot for your message.

It may be that my theme re-writes permalinks. Actually i assume that but anyway it works out fine while linking to comment entries. So in the BNFW case the links ends like this:

/comment-page-1/#comment-55

While in my theme case it ends like this:

/#li-comment-55

which works fine.

So the comment-page-1/ part is too much and at the end there’s missing a li-. The rest is good.

Can i handle this but customizing the plugin code. Or are there any other ways to control this?

Kind regards

Andre

I think i’m one step further.

After i dismissed the WP-option “Settings/Discussion/Show Comments within pages of 25 top level comments” the string comment-page-1/ has gone in the notification.

The permalink in my notification now looks like this: https://www.videospielgeschichten.com/und-was-steht-morgen-auf-dem-programm/#comment-76.

So the only thing that’s not fitting now is the string li- which is missing. In result it has to look like this within my theme: #li-comment-55 to work fine.

Can i maybe handle this but customizing the plugin code?

Btw.: i think my theme dev should make things better here. At least i need to break down comments into pages later ??

Hi @newslicer,
As it’s the theme that’s changing these links, I’d do one of two things:

1. Change them back so that it works natively with WordPress and BNFW.
2. Use some javascript magic to scroll to the relevant position on the page when coming in via one of the custom links that your theme uses.

Hope this helps.

Thanks,
Jack

Thanks Jack!

I’ll pick number 1. The developer of the theme should stick to WP standard. I already mailed the support.

Kind regards
Andre

No problem, Andre.
Hope you get it fixed soon.

Thanks,
Jack

Thanks too. This issue can be closed cause it’s not a Plugin topic.
