 * Can we add a button after “Leave a reply” like this [https://prnt.sc/ya6ba9](https://prnt.sc/ya6ba9).
   Such that users can easily navigate through it. (like – [https://kinsta.com/blog/wordpress-security](https://kinsta.com/blog/wordpress-security))

 * It likely involves editing your theme’s comment template. If your theme is subject
   to updates you should use a child theme to contain altered templates.
 * On the template responsible for comments, there is typically code that outputs
   the comments title, followed by a call to `wp_list_comments()`. Between the two,
   output `<a href="#reply-title" class="jump-to-form">Leave a Comment</a>`.
 * Use CSS to style the link to appear as a button.

 * You don’t need to know much of PHP beyond learning where to it’s safe to to insert
   HTML by closing a PHP block (with `?>`, after a PHP `;` is a good choice), then
   reopening the PHP block after your HTML (with `<?php`). Echoing out your HTML
   is also an option. I don’t know what your theme’s comment template looks like,
   so I cannot tell you exactly what to do beyond the anchor link needs to be output
   after “Leave a Reply” but before `wp_list_comments()` is called.
 * There’s presumably no action or filter hook to use, you just place the HTML anchor
   link right on your theme’s comment template. If it doesn’t end up where you thought
   it should, move it elsewhere. However, if your theme is subject to periodic updates,
   you should keep your altered template in a child theme.

 * There is usually no hook available for the location you want to place the the
   button. Any such hook would be theme dependent. You probably need to edit the
   template file for comments. The function I mentioned should already be there,
   you just need to locate it and insert the desired anchor link above it. Mind 
   you, I’m largely guessing at what you should do. I have no idea what your theme
   template code looks like.

   just above the first line (`<ol class="comment-list">`)

 * Oh! There is an action hook that can be used. That’s a bit unusual, how thoughtful
   of the theme authors 🙂
    On functions.php, unless there’s a better place suggested
   by theme authors, add this:
 *     ```
       add_action('generate_below_comments_title', function(){
          echo '<a href="#reply-title" class="jump-to-form">Leave a Comment</a>';
       });
       ```
   
 * It will appear as a plain link at first. You’ll need additional CSS to make it
   appear like a button and be positioned as you like.
