 * Hi,
 * I was hoping someone can help with this issue.
 * No matter what example I use, or alternative method I do myself, the author link
   is still visible in my comments section, I’ve even checked the core function 
   within the dev references to see how this is called.
 * Initially, I thought there was a jetpack conflict since I was using comments 
   from there, but even with this jetpack function turned off the username still
   returns a link, in my case to myblog.com/authors/emailaddress. Either way, whether
   it is a link to the users URL or an author page, I would like to remove it, but
   do not seem to see the issue here and it is super frustrating 🙁
 * Any help would be appreciated.
 * An example of many I’ve used…
    /** * Removes the comment author link * [@author](https://wordpress.org/support/users/author/)
   Ren Ventura <EngageWP.com> * [@link](https://wordpress.org/support/users/link/)
   engagewpdotcom/remove-wordpress-comment-author-link * * [@param](https://wordpress.org/support/users/param/)
   string $return The HTML-formatted comment author link (empty for an invalid URL)*
   [@param](https://wordpress.org/support/users/param/) string $author The comment
   author’s username * [@param](https://wordpress.org/support/users/param/) int 
   $comment_ID The comment ID * * [@return](https://wordpress.org/support/users/return/)
   string $author */ add_filter( ‘get_comment_author_link’, ‘rv_remove_comment_author_link’,
   10, 3 ); function rv_remove_comment_author_link( $return, $author, $comment_ID){
   return $author; }
