   Lately I've been having problems with people signing up just to include some spammy sites with their profile. I want to remove the Website field altogehther from the Registration form. I don't know how to do this - I looked in the register.php file but couldn't find the line I should remove (I tried removing <?php do_action('extra_profile_info', $user); ?> but nothing happens. Anyone know how to do this?

   Thanks.
   Dan

   the easiest way to deal with this may be to add a rel="nofollow" to user urls.

   Have a look at this:

   Thanks Tom. Still, I would rather remove the website field - this way spammers won't even sign up (hopefully).

   This code used as a plugin should do it.

   <?php
   /*
   Plugin Name: Kill URL
   Description: Kills URL field in profile
   */
   
   function kill_url_in_profile_keys( $keys )
   {
       unset( $keys['user_url'] );
       return $keys;
   }
   
   add_filter( 'get_profile_info_keys', 'kill_url_in_profile_keys' );
   
   ?>
