From the developer
Nabil's own description of Remove Fields, lightly tidied.
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.
