There’s one thing that I find really annoying in WordPress. For every post, page, custom post type, in the posts list there’s a link to view that specific post. It shows when you hover over the post title, but there’s not a View Comment link in the comments list. Why not?
I don’t know, maybe it’s a good core patch idea, but for the moment, here is a snippet that you can use to add such link.
Add this code to your functions.php file in wp-content/themes/your-child-theme-name/ at the end of the file:

| /** | |
| * Print a View Comment link in the comments list in the admin. | |
| * | |
| * @param array $actions | |
| * @return array | |
| */ | |
| function custom_view_comment_action( $actions ) { | |
| global $comment; | |
| if ( $comment->comment_type !== '' ) { | |
| return $actions; | |
| } | |
| $actions['view_comment'] = '<a href="' . get_comment_link( $comment ) . '" title="View Comment" target="_blank">View Comment</a>'; | |
| return $actions; | |
| } | |
| add_filter( 'comment_row_actions', 'custom_view_comment_action' ); |
Once you added it, save the file and go to Dashboard > Comments, hover over the content of a comment from that list and you will see the View Comment link after the Trash link.
