   Hello all,

   First of all; I did my research about this question so I am not just a lazy bloke to post my question here :)

   Here we go;

   How can I redirect to my index after posting a comment/hitting the 'submit comment' button?

   Hopefully there is somebody who can help me out!

   Greets,
   Benjamin

   Maybe it helps when I show you my WordPress for some testing.

   I found it out myself.

   What to do:

   Find

   $location = apply_filters('comment_post_redirect', $location, $comment);

   Change it to

   $location = apply_filters('comment_post_redirect', $redirect_to);

   Add above

   $redirect_to = 'index.php';

   So you will get

   $redirect_to = 'index.php';

   $location = empty($_POST['redirect_to']) ? get_comment_link($comment_id) : $_POST['redirect_to'] . '#comment-' . $comment_id;
   $location = apply_filters('comment_post_redirect', $redirect_to);

   You will find this code in wp-comments-post.php

   I had a similar problem and ended up here. I didn't want to edit the wp-comments-post.php because it would change the redirect behavior everywhere comments were used.

   This inspired me to work with a hidden redirect_to field in a new index-comments.php file because I wanted this redirect only for a user commenting on the home page. I then called it like this in my index.php
   <?php comments_template("/index-comments.php"); of course after setting the <?php $withcomments = 1 ?> way before the loop.

   Thanks for answering yourself. It surely helped me.
