Comments - Unlinking website URL

Hello,

Using the WP Startup theme and I think it's awesome.

When a user leaves a comment, their Name is automatically linked to the website URL that they enter. How do I remove the link? Or even better yet, (without modifying core code), how do I remove the Website URL option from the comments form?

I'm trying to make it less enticing for spammers to spam my comments.

thank you !!

To get rid of site link in comments (displaying), please edit file:
/wp-content/themes/Startup/gavern/helpers/helpers.layout.fragments.php
find:

Code: Select all

               <?php
                  printf(
                     '<span class="author">%s</span>',
                     get_comment_author_link()
                  );
               ?>   


and change to:

Code: Select all

               <?php
                  printf(
                     '<span class="author">%s</span>',
                     get_comment_author()
                  );
               ?>   


To get rid of website field in add comment section, edit the file:
/wp-content/themes/Startup/functions.php

and modify its end to this form:

Code: Select all

// this action enqueues scripts and styles:
// http://wpdevel.wordpress.com/2011/12/12/use-wp_enqueue_scripts-not-wp_print_styles-to-enqueue-scripts-and-styles-for-the-frontend/
add_action('admin_enqueue_scripts', 'gavern_enqueue_admin_js_and_css');

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

// EOF


Whats might be more important - most of the spambots doesn't fillut the form but use automatic submission. I would consider using akismet (no matter what You see while registering API key, it can be registered for free ) which takes away most of the spam entries.
