   Changing the number of comments to display per page doesn't change the number echoed when using the following in comments.php

   <?php echo '<h1>' . get_query_var('cpage') . '</h1>' ;?>

   I was hoping to use get_query_var to turn on or off comment navigation links on pages of comments.

   I'll use the 20/11 theme for that.

   if ( get_comment_pages_count() > 1 && get_option( 'page_comments' ) ) :

   What theme are you using?

   My own :-)

   The relevant bit of code was this:

   <?php  if ( get_option( 'page_comments' ) && ( get_query_var( 'cpage' ) > 1 || get_query_var( 'cpage' ) < get_comment_pages_count( ) ) ) { ?>
   <div class="comment-navigation">
   <p class="comment-navigation comment-floatright"> <?php next_comments_link( 'Newer Comments' ) ?></p>
   <p class="comment-navigation comment-floatleft"><?php previous_comments_link( 'Older Comments' ) ?> </p>
   </div><!--Close comment-navigation-->
    <?php } ?>

   Obviously I played around and deleted this and removed that and narrowed it down to the code in the original post

   get_query_var( 'cpage' )

   Where is that being defined?

   comments.php

   Do I need to set some sort of global or something?

   I'm not sure :( I would have to defer to a theme goddess.

   Where did Esmi go...

   It's something to do with my theme. Tested <?php echo '<h1>' . get_query_var('cpage') . '</h1>' ;?> in twenty eleven this morning and it worked fine.

   Sorry, should have checked that first.

   Sorted.

   Tested using:

   <?php echo '<h1>get_query_var(cpage)' . get_query_var('cpage') . '</h1>' ;?>
   <?php echo '<h1> get_comment_pages_count ' .  get_comment_pages_count() . '</h1>' ;?>
   
   <?php echo '<h1>get_option(page_comments) '. get_option('page_comments') . '</h1>' ;?>

   get_query_var(cpage) and get_comment_pages_count() don't work if they come after the pings callback, when comments and pings are separated i.e. comments first, then pings

   <?php wp_list_comments( 'type=pings&callback=my_theme_list_pings&style=div' ); ?>

   Therefore paged navigation for comments can't come at the bottom of the page but must come after the comments but before the pings.

   It used to work; somewhere in the last upgrade or two it stopped working.
