To remove the URL Website Field from the comment area in the Real Version of WordPress (.ORG)

1. Back up your theme.

2. Appearance>Editor

3. Click comments.php

4. Find this line (near the bottom):

<p><input type=”text” name=”url” id=”url” value=”<?php echo $comment_author_url; ?>” size=”40″ tabindex=”3″ />
<label for=”url”><?php _e(“Website”, “solostream”); ?></label></p>

5. Comment out the line so it looks like this:

<!- – <p><input type=”text” name=”url” id=”url” value=”<?php echo $comment_author_url; ?>” size=”40″ tabindex=”3″ />
<label for=”url”><?php _e(“Website”, “solostream”); ?></label></p> – ->

Just that little bit around the entire bit of script will do it <!- –    – ->

 

6. Save

7. Remember to test this, you must be logged OUT of your blog.
