A very simple plugin that prevents Wordpress from automatically creating hyperlinks in the comments section.
As of April 2026, Remove Links in Comments is a WordPress link plugin with 20 active installations and a 0/5 rating0. It has been downloaded 5.1K+ times in total. Requires WordPress 2.x+ and PHP false+. Available on WordPress.org since 2009. Last updated 14 years ago — may have compatibility concerns. Top alternative: Custom Post Type Permalinks.
By using this plugin you can stop WordPress from automatically creating hyperlinks from links in your visitors comments. There may be several reasons for doing so but the main purpose for my client was to stop all outgoing links he could not control.
Since this plugin only effects your output your visitors links will show up as normal hyperlinks as soon as you deactivate this plugin.
