# Remove URL from comments

 * Hello folks,
 * I tried to search for a plugin and didn’t result in any luck.
 * I want to remove the ability to add a URL to the comments of my WordPress blog.
   I still want to allow comments from guests, but I just don’t want to offer a 
   URL input. There isn’t really a need for it on the niche blog I want to do it
   on.
 * I’m getting a lot of AI-generated spam where the comments are relevant to the
   content they’re posting on, but the giveaway is the non-relevant link they’re
   adding. I’d like to see if taking the ability away to put a URL in the comments
   would prevent this sort of spam.
 * I do have to say, I feel like enabling/disabling the URL in the comment field
   should be an out-of-the-box feature on WordPress – maybe it could be slipped 
   into a future upgrade 🙂 Just a friendly suggestion!
 * Thank you.

 * Appreciate it. I always get worried about using too many or unfamiliar plugins.
   So, I wondered mainly what other people used and liked. Thanks for the suggestions.
