There are situations when the URL (website) field from the comments form is just an unnecessary clutter, for example when your “audience” does not have a personal website.
In cases like this, the best approach would be to remove the field altogether. You can do so by placing the following snippet into functions.php
/**
* Remove the URL field
*
* @param array $fields
* @return array
*/
function wcrb_comment_form_default_fields($fields) {
if (isset($fields['url'])) {
unset($fields['url']);
}
return $fields;
}
add_filter('comment_form_default_fields', 'wcrb_comment_form_default_fields');
If you are using a child theme, add the code in the child theme’s functions.php
file.
