[Resolved] Remove URL field in comment box

[albabes]

Im using code from wpbeginner to do this, but its not working.
Using SNIPPES plugin, with option, “”Run snippet everywhere” but no JOY.

function wpbeginner_remove_comment_url($arg) {
    $arg['url'] = '';
    return $arg;
}
add_filter('comment_form_default_fields', 'wpbeginner_remove_comment_url');

PS., I dont want this option here
https://docs.generatepress.com/article/remove-e-mail-and-url-field-from-comment-form/

Thanks

Hi there,

Our PHP snippet should work. Why don’t you want to use it?

[albabes]

Cause I dont wanna uncheck that thing? Who would want spam exposure?

[Leo]

I’m confused. You want to remove this field correct?

If so have you actually tried our snippet?

add_action( 'after_setup_theme', 'tu_add_comment_url_filter' );
function tu_add_comment_url_filter() {
    add_filter( 'comment_form_default_fields', 'tu_disable_comment_url', 20 );
}

function tu_disable_comment_url($fields) {
    unset($fields['url']);
    return $fields;
}

I just tested and it works?

Because Leo, the GP page says:
https://docs.generatepress.com/article/remove-e-mail-and-url-field-from-comment-form/

“If you would like to remove e-mail and URL field from comment form, first uncheck the requirement in Settings > Discussion:”

And I didnt want to do that.

So how about editing that erroneous page?
If the page didnt say that sentence, I never would of opened this ticket.

Ahh ok.

I’ll try to make it more clear 🙂

Please point out the bad info on that page to Tom, so it can be edited out.

I never post here until I search here thoroughly first for an answer. Don’t went to waste GP’s time Leo.
