How to Remove the Website Field from WordPress Comment Form

Unless otherwise noted, any code snippet in this post goes in your theme's functions.php file or a plugin for your custom functions.

This code snippet removes the “Website” field from the WordPress comment form. Therefore, when commenting, readers will not be able to enter a URL. I use this code on a lot of my projects because, most of the time, my clients’ readers don’t have website and this field is pointless. It also helps deter spammers when they see there’s no field to enter their spam site.
