Remove Website Field from Comments Form

Hi kmarionuofm

The J A Mortram theme uses WordPress’ default comment form. This includes the URL.

I don’t have any plans currently to remove it. If others request it here, I will consider it.

You can amend the comment for, and remove the URL field, by installing a plugin:

[I have not tested this plugin], or by adding your own plugin:

or by adding some code to your functions.php file in the theme template:

If you use this last method (amending your functions.php file, remember when you update the template, this will be lost unless you create a child theme).

I am going to mark this as resolved now. Do post if you have further questions.

I know this is marked as resolved, but I’m having trouble with this.
I am trying to just use wordpress’s default comments_template() instead of the comment_form() and none of the suggestions for removing the URL Field are working.

For some reason the form fields in comments_template() are not tagged, so I can’t simply hide the url field in css like I would be able to with comment_form()

Any suggestions to hide the URL Field for people using comments_template() instead of comment_form()?

Hi

For me to help you, I need to know more about what you are trying to do. I understand you are trying to remove the website field. Are you amending the The J A Mortram template code itself?

The J A Mortram uses comments_template(), the website field is labeled with this CSS class by default: ‘comment-form-url’ and could be removed using CSS targeting .comment-form-url.
