How can I remove the web page entry field from the Comments form?
I would like to remove the Web entry field from my Comments submission form on my blog. I think it would help with people posting fake/generic comments just so they can create link to their website. Anyone know how I can do this?

Very simple to do.
Go to the root of your FP install directory and locate "fp-interface/sharedtpls", and open the file called "comment-form.tpl".
Simply find the following code and remove it:
Then save/upload your file to the same location. Done!

{if isset($error) && isset($error.url) && !empty($error.url)}
{assign var=class value="field-error"}
{else}

{/if}
{if isset($values) && isset($values.url) && !empty($values.url)}
{assign var=urlvalue value=$values.url}

Re: How can I remove the web page entry field from the Comments form?
My Comment-Form.tpl looked a little differently, but I remove the URL section and got the same results. So thanks for pointing me in the right direction!
Code: Select all
<div id="comment-userdata">
<p>
<input type="text" {$error.name|notempty:'class="field-error"'} name="name" id="name" value="{$values.name|wp_specialchars:1|default:$cookie.name}" />
<label class="textlabel" for="name">{$lang.comments.name}</label>
</p>
<p>
<input type="text" {$error.email|notempty:'class="field-error"'} name="email" id="email" value="{$values.email|wp_specialchars:1|default:$cookie.email}" />
<label class="textlabel" for="email">{$lang.comments.email}</label>
</p>
<p>
<input type="text" {$error.url|notempty:'class="field-error"'} name="url" id="url" value="{$values.url|wp_specialchars:1|default:$cookie.url}" />
<label class="textlabel" for="url">{$lang.comments.www}</label>
</p>
{* do action *}
{comment_form}
</div>

Yeah, I think my version is the absolute latest from the "master" on github, so it might be a bit different to whatever version you're using, which may mean you have to do it again when you upgrade. But hey, at least you know where it is now!virtualsky wrote: ↑Fri Mar 19, 2021 12:06 am My Comment-Form.tpl looked a little differently, but I remove the URL section and got the same results.

Re: How can I remove the web page entry field from the Comments form?
You can also activate the QSpam plugin and add some words likevirtualsky wrote: ↑Thu Mar 18, 2021 1:00 am.. posting fake/generic comments just so they can create link to their website. Anyone know how I can do this?
...
href
http
https
www
...
and so on. The QSpam plugin has some quirks, but you can do it with a little testing

Re: How can I remove the web page entry field from the Comments form?
Yes! Thanks for the extra tip. I actually do use the QSpam filter and it seems to work well. At least, I'm not getting spam comments with hyperlinks in them. I've noticed now that some are showing up with a generic comment, like "this is a great article and should shared..." or something like that. Then they post the link to the service they're trying to advertise in the Website field. Sneaky buggers.
