How do I remove the website field from Registration form?

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' );



?>
```
