   I don’t know, do it with the instruction, and some websites don’t work.

     If it does not work on a site, it likely means that the theme being used is overriding the default comment form.

   Hello, thank you for creating a valuable blog post as it was a question of many about how to remove the website field from the comment form.

   I want to know that if allowed the website filed, is it helpful for SEO, because they are nofollow links?

   Antworten

   • WPBeginner Support

     It should not be a major factor in your site’s SEO with either choice.

   Hi, this didn’t work for me (adding the code in the functions.php file) to remove the url field. I’m using a child theme for Astra, so i added it to the functions.php for that. Is that correct?

   Antworten

   • WPBeginner Support

     Adding it to your child theme’s functions.php is the correct thing to do. If it didn’t remove it for you, the theme you are using may have its own method for displaying the field where you would want to check with the support for the child theme you are using and they should be able to assist!

   Thank you for this tutorial. I have been looking for a way to remove that field for a while. It makes the comment section look more crowde, and it is just an extra step for a legitimate commenter. However, is it possible that my site will become slower if I install these kinds of plugins to solve each problem?

   So far, I have not noticed the difference, but I have installed only maybe 5 besides the ones that come by default with the theme.

     It would depend on the plugin for how it would affect your site’s speed, for our opinion on plugins and how they affect your site you would want to take a look at our article below:

    Is there any way to block specific URLs from the actual comment content? When I removed the website field and hyperlink ability, it didn’t stop the spammers from just typing their website at the bottom of their comment. The default „disallowed comment keys“ feature matches inside words and not just the entire URL, so I can’t block them that way either (they aren’t using distinct keywords). And of course they use a different email address every time, even though I can tell it’s the same person/group. Right now I’m deleting their comments manually, but it’s very annoying because there are so many. Any advice?

    Great article and good information. However, both the plugins mentioned have not been updated for many years and could have compatibility issues with latest versions of Wordpress.

    Is there an alternative plugin to disable these URLs? If yes, could you kindly update the article as it would be really useful

    Antworten

    • WPBeginner Support

      If you are comfortable adding code to WordPress, then you can try this code in a site-specific plugin or your theme’s functions.php file:

      function wpb_disable_comment_url($fields)
      {
      unset($fields['url']);
           return $fields;
      }
      add_filter('comment_form_default_fields','wpb_disable_comment_url');

      It will only make the URL field invisible, spam bots will still be able to use the URL field so it doesn’t serve the purpose.

    Perhaps the major search engines should look into this as well. These backlinks are getting out of hand, just like when we added keywords to the meta keywords tag. That was abused and now these backlinks are getting abused.

    I use a plugin called Disable Comments throughout some of my websites so no one can leave any. So far it has worked but the other websites receive on a daily basis quite a number. Reading through them, there is many adverts with lots of links, people saying how insightful your website is. For one I do not or have ever heard anyone say insightful so straight into the Spam bin.

    I don’t think the amount of backlinks should influence your rankings as they can be too easy to get. I went after a web design job and the owner wanted to do some Off page SEO and wanted the successful applicant to be able to get at least 2000 backlinks for that website. Well I didn’t get the job and glad, probably spend the day leaving insightful comments on other peoples websites.

      Hey Colin,

      Comments definitely encourage conversations like this one here. But yes, spammers are ruining it for the webmasters. Getting rid of the link feature has definitely helped reduce spam comments on the site.

    Wondering if you could address a couple of concerns? For the plug-in „Disable / Hide Comment URL“
    1. is only compatible to 3.2.1.
    2. the last update was 2011-9-2 (really old)

      If you look at the code of this plugin, it is very simple, and it works. You can take the code and dump it in your functions.php file…

      function disable_comment_url($fields) { 
          unset($fields['url']);
          return $fields;
      }
      add_filter('comment_form_default_fields','disable_comment_url');

    Nice article and I can understand why people want to remove it but can’t you use the right plugins to moderate and control spam? Thanks for the tutorial, if I do decide to then I know where to look for it.

    Antworten

49. Cliff Beneventi

    Thanks for the article. Reducing or eliminating spam is a critical part of comment management. Akismet does a great job for my clients, but uses URL’s to determine if a comment is spam. This plugin would then render Akismet less effectual. Also, the user can simply insert a URL in the comment itself, can they not? Lastly, I thought that the bulk of spam comments were generated by bots, which would still populate the comment field, even in the absence of a URL field.

    What crosses my mind right now is this „being WPBeginner, o e of the solid sites out there providing quality WordPress tutorials and advice, you can afford to not show the author link on your comment form“. In fact this will dicourage many to comment unless they really have something to say.
    I only comment on articles that interest me and never said just „oh, great article, I’ll bookmark it, fantastic piece of writing“.

    Antworten

    • Elliott Richmond

      Agreed, if someone is making the effort to comment on an article the least you can do is credit them with a link! After all it’s about the community right? I noticed this on WPB a while ago and it put me right off commenting full stop! Not that I comment for the backlink because it’s a nofollow anyway but because if any other commenters what to check me out they can.

      Antworten

      • Zimbrul

        Yes, this is the idea of the author website field. But, as I said, I do mot comment here at wpbeginner for backlinks or for make myself known. I use WP Beginner website to get answers and to implement new te tehniques on sites I develop.
        I only comment to topics I can „technically“ comment, that’s it.

        Antworten

      • Editorial Staff

        Elliot, first of all I’m sorry to hear that you have stopped commenting on WPBeginner just because we decided to get rid of the URL field. While your initial intentions weren’t to get backlinks, but your decision to stop commenting after we get rid of the field only emphasize the point.

        If you do not think that a community is worth contributing to just because you are not getting a backlink/promotional value, then I don’t think that you value the community enough.

        We have had internal communications about establishing a proper registration system for regular users on WPBeginner. This would allow us to unlock certain perks (i.e backlinks to all of your new and previous comments after you hit comment count marker X). But again, I feel odd because I’m offering incentives for users to comment which is favoring quantity over quality.

        I will probably have this added as one of the questions in our annual survey for the WPBeginner audience.

          Not „stop commenting“ or „stopped commenting“ just „put off“ ^_^
          On the contrary I do value the community and I hope that I do offer value back to the community (albiet in a very small way compared to others) and I find your tone a little insulting to be honest!
          I believe that there are other contributors who I would certainly like to find out more about but seeing as you have denied a link back to their site where I can find out about „the community“ it kind of defeats the object wouldn’t you agree? Fortunately I do recognised some of the contributors who I do value, Pippin being one of them but, if I’d like to find out about others then I have no chance right?

        • Editorial Staff

          I won’t argue semantics of stop commenting or „commenting full stop“. Nonetheless, I see your point of finding user’s information and following up with them elsewhere. One thing that can be done perhaps is hyperlink all gravatar images with the user’s gravatar profile? Would you say that is a good solution?

          Always love hearing user feedback. This is why I will be adding this in the user survey that we are planning on sending out.

          -Syed

    • Editorial Staff

      Zimbrul, first of all, I really appreciate you as a user. I have your gravatar memorized because I know you are one of our regular users. This technique is not to discourage users like yourself because you add relevant and useful conversation to the articles like this comment of yours.

      It is also one of the reasons why our site automatically approves your comment But you are among the exception. I can personally tell you that this is a big issue specially if you are running a tech related tutorial blog.

      SmashingMagazine has the same thing. They did this long time ago, way before WPBeginner. Reason was the same. I as a user appreciated their decision of getting rid of URLs because then I could engage in meaningful conversations with real people (not those drop by’s who might add controversial comment just to get a backlink and never check back).
