How to use get_comments_pagenum_link filter in WordPress

get_comments_pagenum_link filter

Filters the comments page number link for the current request.

To use get_comments_pagenum_link filter, first you have to register it using add_filter. You can write this code into functions.php of your activated theme or in a custom WordPress Plugin.

We at WePlugins, always prefer to create a custom WordPress Plugin while using hooks so nothing breaks when you update your WordPress Theme in the future.

In the below live example, we have defined a function modify_get_comments_pagenum_link_defaults which takes 1 parameter and we registered it using add_filter. The first parameter get_comments_pagenum_link is the name of the hook, the second parameter modify_get_comments_pagenum_link_defaults is the name of the function which needs to be called, the third parameter is the priority of calling the hook if the same hook is used multiple times, and the last parameter is the number of arguments (if any) to be passed in the registered function.

Sometimes, you have to remove a registered hook so you can use remove_filter to remove get_comments_pagenum_link filter.

Parameters

Below the 1 parameter is required to use this hook.

• $result : (string) The comments page number link.

        return $result; 
    }

        }
        return $result;
    }
