  Hello, I have a WordPress.com blog. I installed the “Latest Comments” widget in my sidebar.

  Problem: When someone comments without a link to their own blog or website (meaning they only sign with a name and email, leaving the URL field blank), their name appears in the sidebar widget with a link pointing to a non-existent author profile on my blog.

  For example, if a commenter is named “liviutm”, instead of their name appearing without any link in the Latest Comments widget, it appears linked to “https://jurnal365.wordpress.com/author/liviutm/”.

  Any solutions? Thanks.

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)
