   I've broken my posts and comments into two tabs, the second of which is called #comments. An issue arises when a comment is posted, as the reader is directed to a #comment-259 url. That of course breaks my tab feature.

   To correct this, I'm using a simple function to filter the url users are redirected to after they post a comment:

   add_filter('comment_post_redirect', 'redirect_after_comment');
   function redirect_after_comment($location)
   {
   return '/need-it-to-be-the-permalink#comments';
   }

   I simply need to know how to fetch the permalink of the post the user commented on, and use that in the "return" url in the above function (where I typed /need-it-to-be-the-permalink#comments)

   Thanks, WP-ers.

   By modifying /wp-includes/comment-template.php from:

   return apply_filters( 'get_comment_link', $link . '#comment-' . $comment->comment_ID, $comment, $args );

   to:

   return apply_filters( 'get_comment_link', $link . '#comments', $comment, $args );

   ...I was able to do achieve what I needed, but this would be much better in my functions.php. Can anyone format an add_filter function with my modified code above, please?

   haven't tried it, but this should work :)

   add_filter('comment_post_redirect', 'redirect_after_comment');
   function redirect_after_comment($location)
   {
   return preg_replace("/#comment-([\d]+)/", "#comments", $location);
   }

   sorry, that should've been:

   add_filter('get_comment_link', 'redirect_after_comment');
   function redirect_after_comment($location)
   {
       return preg_replace("/#comment-([\d]+)/", "#comments", $location);
   }
