Remove ?replytocom=xx from the URL

[gazpachu]

In order to make more semantic the IDs of an article's comments, I've set the comments div IDs to start with "1". In this way I can redirect the user after posting a new comment to the right ID.

i.e. If the article has 17 comments and the user posts a new one, he will be redirected to ​http://domain.com/article#comment-18

I prefer this way but now I have a problem with the "?replytocom=xx" in the URL. The comment ID in the replytocom is something like "4867" and that doesn't make sense with my approach.

Is it possible to hide/remove this var in the URL while keeping the reply functionality?

Next time please take first a look at the core functions or try our forum ​http://wordpress.org/support/.

You can use these filters: comment_reply_link, cancel_comment_reply_link and/or comment_id_fields.

I've took a look at the codex and forums before posting here.

I don't see how those filters can hide/remove this var in the URL while keeping the reply functionality.

ocean90 was right. This is for the support forums linked above. The filters he provided don't, themselves, remove the 'replytocom' query arg. They just give you an access point to remove them. Try using those filters with remove_query_arg(). This should work, and if you have further questions, please use the support forums.
