in your php files you will haev something like:
<?php the_author() ?>
or
<?php the_author_posts_link(); ?>
replace it with this:
<?php $author = get_the_author(); echo $author; ?>
I still did not get where to do so … in the theme php files? Could you please tell me where on the default theme?
In the default theme: eg ..\wp-content\themes\default it’s only in the index.php file:
...
<div <?php post_class() ?> id="post-<?php the_ID(); ?>">
<h2><a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent Link to <?php the_title_attribute(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a></h2>
<small><?php the_time('F jS, Y') ?> by <?php the_author() ?></small>
<div class="entry">
<?php the_content('Read the rest of this entry »'); ?>
</div>
...
it’s this line: <?php the_author() ?>
I think there is a misunderstanding, I am talking about the url of visitors who leave comments, not the post authors.
The author of a comment has a link displayed close to the avatar, I want to remove that link, as many people come and leave their links to generate backlinks.
ah, oops. misread your posts.

that’s handled in the core functions. you could rename the function and call your new function in your comments.php if you don’t want to mess with core files.
