Popup Comments Problem

Here’s a fix that was posted on this issue previously. I don’t know if it is still the same issue, so make backups of the file first. ??

In wp-comments-popup.php:

find

$location = get_permalink($comment_post_ID);

and replace with:

$location = (empty($_POST[‘redirect_to’])) ? $_SERVER[“HTTP_REFERER”] : $_POST[‘redirect_to’];
if ($is_IIS) {
header(“Refresh: 0;url=$location”);
} else {
header(“Location: $location”);
}

Thanks. For future reference that should be ws-comments-post.php rather than wp-comments-popup.php, but it worked fine so many thanks.

I am having the <i>exact</i> same problem and was just about to give up figuring it out using Codex and come and post it here. I will try this solution! Thank you for asking it so I don’t have to!

OK, I tried; it didn’t work. https://www.laurenisms.com.

I’m supposed to leave wp_redirect($location); alone, right? That comes right after the $location = get_permalink($comment_post_ID); that I just replaced.

Help?

Actually, I’m wrong. My wp-comments-post.php originally said:

$location = (empty($_POST['redirect_to'])) ? $_SERVER["HTTP_REFERER"] : $_POST['redirect_to'];
wp_redirect($location);

It did not say $location = get_permalink($comment_post_ID);

and adding the if ($is_IIS) didn’t change anything.
