    When a registered user makes a comment, the authors name will link to a URL if the user has filled in the website field when the user registered. This is being used for spam so I would like to disable the author URL. I have tried several plugins and while the author’s URL is removed from the recent comments widget, the authors name still links to a URL when the user makes a comment. How can I disable the author URL?

    Hi lsrmedia!

    Thank you for using our theme.

    The only way is to alter the source code of the following file:

    enfold/includes/loop-comments.php

    Open it and goto line 30.

    Replace:

    
$link = get_comment_author_url();
if(!empty($link))

    with 

    
//    $link = get_comment_author_url();
$link = '';
//    if(!empty($link))

    if you do not want to have the author info at all:

    
//    $link = get_comment_author_url();
$link = ''; 
if(!empty($link))

    If you are using a child theme copy the file to the child theme folder in subfolder /includes and make the changes there. This avoids that your changes will be overwritten on every update.

    Regards,
    Günter
