    Hi, there,

    I got hundreds of robot comments every days and I need the comments but I donot want to give any links to commenters.

    How can I do that ? Any plug-in?

    Thanks in advance!

    Simplest thing is to revise your comments template to not include the link. But, what about valid comments, or do not care one way or the other?

    Also kind of curious as to why you would want to have hundreds of spammy robotic comments too?

    I use WP-spam-free plugin but still get so many robot comments. I am going to make no links for commenters. I think the robot will stop.

    When I tried to modify th ecomment template, I got a code here:

    where to modify this function ? I didnot find it in function.php

    I found it in wp-includes folder. It is so hard to modify it. Can any one suggest me a plugin to un-link all links in comments( at least unlink to commenter's URL). My websites have so many spam comments (because I opened comments with wp-spam-free on ), and I cannot remove them all.


    Thanks in advance!

    Your approach is like throwing the baby out with the bathwater. You will discourage regular comments.

    I would suggest using Akismet for spam filtering, or going to a different comment platform like Disqus or Intense Debate.

    But to answer your other question, the comment list can be reworked via callback function. Look at the WordPress Codex page for Custom Comment Display.

    You do realize the blog comment spam is duplicate content? Not a great idea to be mass auto approving all those comments.
