About Remove Fields

From the official readme · v1.0.1

Description

Do you know why your posts are not getting any comments? It’s probably because of the website input field in the comment form.

My personal experience: the number of comments increased dramatically after I removed that website field.

In addition to removing the website field from the comments form, the plugin removes these fields from the profile page:

  • Personal Options section (Visual Editor, Admin Color Scheme, Keyboard Shortcuts, Toolbar & Admin Language)
  • About Yourself section (Biographical Info)

Once installed, all the fields & sections mentioned above will no longer be available to users.

Installation

  1. Put the plugin folder into [wordpress_dir]/wp-content/plugins/
  2. Go into the WordPress admin interface and activate the plugin
