How to Remove the Website Field from Genesis Comments Form

In Genesis, the comments form is extremely easy to modify. In this mini-tutorial, I will show you how to modify the comments form to remove the URL or website field. genesis_comment_form_args has three field arguments by default: name/author, email, and url. In this example, I am only removing the URL field argument.

    This goes in the Functions section of the Theme’s site, right? And does it matter where in the Functions page? Or just at the bottom?
    Thanks for the tip! 😉

    This is just the clue I was looking for.

    And should work well even though Genesis 2 is out, if XHTML is being used in the child theme. But if the child theme uses HTML5, then there is a small modification required because Genesis 2 in HTML5 mode is using the native WordPress comment form:

    add_filter( ‘comment_form_defaults’, ‘brp_comment_form_defaults’ );
    function brp_comment_form_defaults( $defaults ) {
    unset( $defaults[‘fields’][‘url’] );
    return $defaults;
    }
