Remove comment author link

[mario01]

Hi, i have Magazine Pro Theme and i want to delete comment author link.

I use many different guide:

http://wpsquare.com/remove-comment-author-website-link-wordpress/

https://www.engagewp.com/remove-wordpress-comment-author-link/

I add some code in functions.php, but these method doesn't work

I have still remove the field link when someone post a comment, but now i want to remove the comment author link.

How to resolve it?

Thanks

For example, i want to remove the link on "Mr WordPress".

[mario01]

i have a solution

In genesis > lib > structure > comments.php

Find the following line:

if ( ! empty( $url ) && 'http://' !== $url ) {$author = sprintf( '%s', esc_url( $url ), genesis_attr( 'comment-author-link' ), $author );}

And replace it with this new:

if ( ! empty( $url ) && 'http://' !== $url ) {$author = sprintf($author );}

It works, but this is a correct way? If i update genesis in future, it will return as default?

You should never change code in the Genesis Framework. Updates will overwrite your changes. The proper way is to do something like this in functions.php:

add_filter( 'genesis_comment_list_args', 'my_default_list_comments' );
function my_default_list_comments($args) {

	$args['callback'] = genesis_html5() ? 'my_html5_comment_callback' : 'genesis_comment_callback';

	return $args;
}

function my_html5_comment_callback() {

/* place your new callback function here */

}

Thank you Victor! Can you explain me how i can add it in my functions.php? I don't understand very well the function that you write..

If you can write the final code that i can add to functions.php..

WordPress has a filter for the author link in comments. Does not work on imported comments. Genesis filters don't duplicate.

/**  
 * 
 * Removes Comment Author Link
 * 
 */
function prefix_remove_comment_author_link( $return, $author, $comment_ID ) {
	return $author;
}
add_filter( 'get_comment_author_link', 'prefix_remove_comment_author_link', 10, 3 );
