On Crunchify, we moved over to Default WordPress commenting system yesterday as there were quite a few issues with Disqus Commenting system.
Now it’s time for us to clean default WordPress comment form and all changes around that. We have published a nice article on how to customize look and feel of WordPress comment form.
Let me know if you have any more questions about it.
Between – today I ran my SEMRush report and suddenly noticed few warnings and one was about internal nofollow links.
Hmm.. first question I got was:
- How to Remove the WordPress Comment Author Link?
- WP Disable Author Url and Comment Links
After some checking, I found that – after moving from Disqus to default WordPress comment form, I was adding Author mouseover site URL.
By default, all links in site comments nofollow. That’s on purpose as we don’t want commenter to use their site links and pass link juice.
Long time back we have removed URLs from comment form. Let me know if you face any issue following tutorial.
So, finally I’ve decided to remove comment author URL’s include admin too. Just put below code to your WordPress theme’s functions.php file and you should be all good.
function crunchify_no_comment_author_url( $url, $id, $commentr ) {
return "";
}
add_filter( 'get_comment_author_url', 'crunchify_no_comment_author_url', 10, 3);
Above code will remove comment author URLs for you. This code block will work for all WordPress theme framework including Genesis Framework.
