 * I’ve made a custom SQL query to the WordPress database which collects the latest
   comments from a certain (given) category. I want to get the permalink URL to 
   generate a direct URL to the comment, and I am wondering if anyone knows if there’s
   a function in WordPress for that?
 * I basically want to get an URL like this:
 * [http://site.url/?p=page-title#comment-45](http://site.url/?p=page-title#comment-45)
 * Into this:
 * [http://site.url/category/page-title/#comment-45](http://site.url/category/page-title/#comment-45)
 * And I want to be able to update the permalink structure settings in WP without
   having to update the function.
 * I’ve tried to link up site.url/?p=page-title#comment-45 and it rewrites correctly,
   but it removes the **#comment-45** at the end of the URL, which results in the
   browser not scrolling down to the comment.
