WordPress started as just a blogging platform in 2003 and is now used as a content management system to host millions of websites around the world.
By default WordPress allows the user to leave a web address when they post a comment. It’s this web address many spammers use to create inbound links to their websites.
By adding a few lines of code this can be prevented.
- Login to the WordPress dashboard
- Choose appearance > Editor
- Open functions.php and paste the code below at the end of the file.
function remove_comment_fields($fields) {
unset($fields['url']);
return $fields;
}
add_filter('comment_form_default_fields','remove_comment_fields');Now the Url field won’t be displayed (see below)

Amazing blog! Is your theme custom made or did you download it
from somewhere? A design like yours with a few simple
tweeks would really make my blog shine. Please let me know where you got your design.
The name of the theme is Trim and it’s from a company called Elegant Themes. They charge a yearly fee for the themes but if your a small company developing multiple sites its a great resource.
Oh it’s really easy:) I was thinking that i need a plugin to do that. Thank’s!
Thanks Mikrodermabrazja. I’m glad to help.
Hi there would you mind letting me know which
hosting company you’re utilizing? I’ve loaded your blog in 3
completely different web browsers and I must say this
blog loads a lot faster then most. Can you recommend a
good internet hosting provider at a honest price?
Many thanks, I appreciate it!
It’s always good to use a fast hosting provider and one local to your country. My site is hosted with CWCS managed hosting over in England. They are not cheap but they do provide a great service. If you require a quick fix perhaps try using a caching plugin like W3 Total Cache. Let me know how you get on?
