   Hi WordPress fans

   I'm trying to tweak WordPress, to use it as a directory using the comments.

   But my problem is that i want to change the URL to page-1, page-2 instead of comment-page-1, comment-page-2 etc.

   Can anyone tell me how to fix this?
   Thanks

   It's not advisable, but if you do a core hack, you can search in all files, where "comment-page" is mentioned. The search can easily be done with grep, like: grep -ir "comment-page" *

   A plugin would be the right way to do it ... sorry, I'm not a plugin developer

   ... for a hammer, everything is a nail

   I am a developer, so I would be happy to create a plugin, I just have no clue (I searched) which functionality WordPress provides for me to manipulate the URL and change "comment-page".

   Problem solved :)

   With a little help from hhbertelsen i manage to find 4 files in the wp-includes folder.

   wp-includes/comment-template.php
   wp-includes/rewrite.php
   wp-includes/link-template.php
   wp-includes/canonical.php

   I changes comment-page to something else in these 4 files, and it works.

   Thx

   Problem solved? By hacking core-files.. Okay, I can see I need to put this on my to-do list to research a solution. If anyone has one already, that does not involve hacking the core-files, please.. don't hold back :-)
