WordPress – Remove Email and URL in Comment Section, and Add Plugin to Remove Hyperlink from URL Placed in Comment Textbox

1. In the Discussion Settings, uncheck the checkbox that states “Comment author must fill out name and email”.

2) Edit the function.php file in your File editor and add the three functions to the bottom of the php file shown in the image below:

// Add this function to functions.php to remove the url from the comments section
function crunchify_disable_comment_url($fields) { 
 unset($fields['url']);
 return $fields;
}
add_filter('comment_form_default_fields','crunchify_disable_comment_url');

// Add this function to functions.php to remove the email from the comments section
function crunchify_disable_comment_email($fields) { 
 unset($fields['email']);
 return $fields;
}
add_filter('comment_form_default_fields','crunchify_disable_comment_email');

// Add this function to functions.php to remove text below the Leave a Reply title
function custom_comment_form_defaults($defaults){
 $defaults['comment_notes_before'] = '';
 return $defaults;
}
add_filter( 'comment_form_defaults', 'custom_comment_form_defaults' );

3) Add a plugin called “Comment Link Remove”.

4) Edit the options of the Comment Link Remove settings by checking the checkboxes for “Remove hyper-link from comment AUTHOR”, and “Disable turning URLs into hyper-links in comments”
