It would be really great if pagination for threaded comments could be looked into again. I notice there are a lot of people wanting this feature.

@svetoslavd79 came up with a mostly working solution and in the comments section provided ideas on how it could be re-done to prevent url linking issues:

I’m starting to think that the most elegant way to deal with all this issues surrounding pagination of replies is to create a hidden field in the reply form that saves the page number as a custom field attached to the reply. If you can accomplish that, modifying or filtering anything that needs a link to that particular reply post should be a breeze after that.

Anything else will have to involve some wild math to calculate each reply page number and will only weigh in on the execution and ultimately site speed and performance.

This is still not super simple but something to consider if you want to pursue such implementation.

Any chance of this being on the roadmap?

Sure, start by ceating a ticket on Trac @mbv https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/newticket

p.s I don’t see it being a high priority from the team right now, we’d be happy to take a look at any patches submitted and go from there of course though.

Hi ! I saw by reading the ticket that this issue was difficult to correct.
Is it abandoned ?

Thank you for your answer,
Best regards
