    I’ve found a question on this site with the same headline, but that evolved to an plug-in.

    So I’m asking the same thing.
    What do I need to do, to let visitor leave a comment by only providing a name and the comment (eg. Remove the email & website questions)?

    I know that by adding this code:

    add_filter('comment_form_default_fields', 'unset_url_field');
function unset_url_field($fields){
    if(isset($fields['url']))
       unset($fields['url']);
       return $fields;
}

    to functions.php will eliminate the url question, but how do I remove the email question AND keep the name question?
    }

    Found a solution;

    1. Turn off the Comment author must fill out name and email in the settings/discussion on your WordPress panel.

    2. Add the following code (found on different sites and added them together)

    function remove_website_email_field($fields)
{
 $fields = array( $fields['author']); //add $fields['email'] for only website field
 return $fields;
}
add_filter( 'comment_form_default_fields', remove_website_email_field );

function require_comment_name($fields) {
 
if ($fields['comment_author'] == '')
wp_die('Error: please enter a valid name.');
 
return $fields;
}
add_filter('preprocess_comment', 'require_comment_name');

    to your functions.php file in your themes directory.

    This will not only remove the email & website fields, it will also make the name field required even thou you turned it off in the settings.
