Hi Johny,
no, I haven’t but I can help you to implement it in your site.

Basically, you’ll have to replace the output of your comments in your theme’s comments.php with a call to “wp_list_comments”. The “Previous” and “Next” links are displayed by “previous_comments_link” and “next_comments_link” respectively. It’s as easy as that.

If you need more help with this just contact me.

Hi Christ, do you have any tutorial to make paginated comments in different WP themes? Thanks in advance.

Hi Phil,
it’s great to hear that it worked for you too. Sure, you can end up with a broken page if you make a mistake here. I recommend using a recent version of All in one SEO pack which supports canonical links.

Hi Christian Schenk,

Thanks for the code, it worked. Now any page in my blog have a unique title and description. But someone need to be very careful when editing the files, or you can broke your site.

Again, thanks.

Christian, you can update the title value before the SEO Plugin. Try my plugin here.

Yes, it was a fairly big issue that the method I came up with didn’t work with AIOSEO pack (I must get round to installing it one day rather than dreaming up hacks!). Anyway, excellent work in editing the plugin. Perhaps you should suggest he changes the core code!

Hi Malcolm,
I’m using the famous All in One SEO Pack plugin here and didn’t want to change my theme directly but use WordPress’ filter mechanism along with the plugin.
So, I added these two lines to all_in_one_seo_pack.php (version 1.4.6.16):

694	$description = apply_filters('aiosp_description_filter', $description);

780	$title = apply_filters('aiosp_title_filter', $title);

Finally I could add the following to my themes functions.php:

function paged_title_filter($content) {
  global $cpage;
  if ($cpage < 1) return $content;
  return str_replace('|', '- '.__('comment page').' '.$cpage.' |', $content);
}
if (function_exists('add_filter'))
  add_filter('aiosp_title_filter', 'paged_title_filter');
 
function paged_meta_description_filter($content) {
  global $cpage;
  if ($cpage < 1) return $content;
  return $content.' - '.__('comment page').' '.$cpage;
}
if (function_exists('add_filter')) 
  add_filter('aiosp_description_filter', 'paged_meta_description_filter');

Have a look at this page and click the Older comments link: the title and the meta description will change accordingly.

I've come up with a bit of PHP to make the titles of paged comments different (ie add page X to the end). You can see it here.
