I have tried to disable the default required fields for comment forms
Remove requirements for
Email.
Website url
What is required to do this in Newsmag theme please
Hi bformhals,
Please refer to the following topic here -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/topic/how-to-remove-website-box-from-comment-section/
Thanks for your understanding!
I checked there and went to that php file. All that is in the php file when I go to the editor is this:
<?php
// – Important!
// – For overwriting comments’ functionality in child-theme, copy the file ‘comments.php’ from the
// following theme path (../themes/THEME_NAME/includes/wp_booster/comments.php) to the child-theme root path,
// and NOT this comments.php file you are reading from.
require_once(‘includes/wp_booster/comments.php’);
Why if we turn off this requirement in wordpress can we not just turn it off in the theme. I know of nobody as a visitor to a newsite is going to add a website url? thats just a crazy thing to even have there.
Look at all the major news site? Fox, ABC CBS CNN ESPN none of them have such a line for a user to input
Hello bformhals,
Sorry for this but please notice that this is the only way you can to disable the Email and Website URL when a newbie user wants to register to your website. Please follow the steps from the above topic. Do you have followed it without any good results?
Thanks.
I just showed you I dont have any of the that to comment out or remove? I dont have a child theme yet so why do I not see anything on the php file.
In further releases this should be corrected to be able to get rid of that in the theme panel. It makes people not register which drives down subscription members and hurts site revenue. It just should not be there as a default.
So, how can I get rid of this.
Hello bformhals,
If you will check our above replies, you will see that the right PHP files which have to be edited are comments.php. Here is not talking about child theme, sorry! All the changes should have to be done through this file. So, if you want to get rid of these fields, like email and website URL you should remove/comment these code lines from here -> https://www.screencast.com/t/zlojb30xi
Thanks for your understanding!
Yes, I understand. Like I said I went to comment that line out but like I said there is nothing in that file in my editor except what I posted here. I dont have a child theme
Hi,
Sorry but I do not know what kind of changes you have made. Please look at this ->
https://www.screencast.com/t/LilfG5keS and the result are here -> https://www.screencast.com/t/V4J3dlc8r This is the only way to remove these fields. Try it more carefully. After these changes, please clear all the caches and check the results.
Thanks.
OK. You are not understanding. I go to Appearance/Editor and when I open comments.php all I see is this: This is the ONLY code that shows. (I have NO child theme)
<?php
// – Important!
// – For overwriting comments’ functionality in child-theme, copy the file ‘comments.php’ from the
// following theme path (../themes/THEME_NAME/includes/wp_booster/comments.php) to the child-theme root path,
// and NOT this comments.php file you are reading from.
require_once(‘includes/wp_booster/comments.php’);
Hello bformhals,
You should not follow this way, sorry! Check the real theme core file from the root of theme, change it and then, upload it via FTP way.
Thanks for your understanding!
