Remove "website" field from comment form

I’d like to remove the “website” field from the comment form.

I’m at https://thirstyroamers.com

This plugin does not work on XTheme Integrity. https://wordpress.org/plugins/remove-comment-websiteurl-box/

Hello @theresaladner,

Thanks for writing in!

You can take a look at the solution shared in following thread:

Alternatively, you also have the options of adding following CSS under X > Theme Options > CSS:

p.comment-form-url {
    display: none;
}

1- I have found the proper CSS code selector using the Chrome browser Developer Toolbar: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wcFnnxfA70g

2- For the CSS code itself, I suggest that you get started with this tutorial: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yfoY53QXEnI

Thanks.

The CSS worked thank you.

Now how do I change the “Save my name, email, and website in this browser for the next time I comment” sentence?

Hello @theresaladner,

The mentioned keyword is a default from WordPress comments section. If you want to change it, please check out this link:

We would love to know if this has worked for you. Thank you.

The information on that link is confusing and not helpful.

Hey @theresaladner,

To change the keyword into something else, since your child theme is set up already, please add the following code in your child theme’s functions.php file

add_filter( 'gettext', 'theme_change_comment_cookie_label', 20, 3 );
function theme_change_comment_cookie_label( $translated_text, $text, $domain ) {
    if ( is_singular() ) {
        switch ( $translated_text ) {
            case 'Save my name, email, and website in this browser for the next time I comment.' :
                $translated_text = __( 'Set a cookie to save my name and email to use for future comments.', 'frontier' );
                break;
        }
    }
    return $translated_text;
}

Hope this makes sense.

Thank you, that worked.

For future reference, it may be helpful to tell people where they can find the function.php editor in wordpress. I thought I had to go through my host.

Yes, sorry about that. Although the Wordpress theme editor works we don’t recommend it because a little mistake in there can lock up your site.

We recommend editing child theme via FTP instead, in case you made a mistake you can immediately correct it.
