  Hi there,

  Can you show me exactly which link you would like to disable? If you want to disable links that your commenters have entered into their replies, you can always edit the comment and remove it yourself.

  If this is not what you mean, can you show me which link you want to disable here?

  Let me know if you have any questions with this!

  Dear Grace,
  I’d like to generelly disable the website link in the comment form (which is, if I understand correctly, automatically filled in based on the comment author’s e-mail). Comment authors would then only fill in their name and e-mail, no website. Is this possible?

  Can you show me where the authors have to enter their website? If they are WordPress.com users then they might have their website attached to their name, but they wouldn’t have to actually enter their website.

  Grace,
  I have prepared a screenshot, but I cannot include it here. If I take any article on my blog and I click on “Leave a comment”, the form opens including
  * the text box where the comment is entered
  * Name (required)
  * E-Mail (required)
  * Website.
  I would like to disable the “website” box as well as the automatic attachment of the website to the user’s name.

  Can you provide me the exact link to your contact form? I couldn’t find it on your site.

  I’m not concerned with the contact form, but with the comment form – this applies to any article in the blog. When you click on “Leave a comment”, e.g. http://dechema.wordpress.com/2014/09/01/projekt-des-monats-ganz-schon-wahlerisch-neue-festphasen-fur-die-chromatografie/#respond, and start to write the comment, the form with the three fields listed above opens.

  You can do that via CSS. Please go to Appearance > Customize > CSS in your Dashboard and add this:

  .comment-form-url {
  	display: none;
  }

  Cheers!
