Those of you who are quite familiar with the WordPress community may recognize the name Alex King. He as been around for quite some time, developing a wide range of WordPress customizations and plug-ins. One of his most recent creations is a WordPress plug-in called Delink Comment Author.

Let’s say that your blog recently received a valuable or insightful comment, but it happened to come from someone who may be a spammer or is promoting a website that may not be appropriate for your audience. For example, they may have entered an affiliate link in the URL section of your comment form. Alternatively, the URL might lead to an adult, hate, or warez site of some kind. This doesn’t detract from the value of the comment, but you don’t want that link there.

Normally, you’d have to go into your WordPress dashboard, go to the Comments section, and edit the comment manually to remove this link. There are several steps involved and you will go through several pages in your WordPress Control Panel before you are able to remove the URL. Alex King’s new Delink Comment Author plugin significantly simplifies the process.

When you receive the comment e-mail notification as you normally would, it will now contain a link that removes the commentator’s link from their comment. It only takes one click. To download and for more information, check out Delink Comment Author at AlexKing.org
