ARK HideCommentLinks is a WordPress plugin designed to modify how links in comment sections are handled on WordPress sites. It addresses the issue of links to commenters' websites by altering their presentation, making them less recognizable to search engines. The plugin achieves this by replacing the standard anchor tags with span tags, removing the href attribute, and eliminating the "http://" identifier from the address string. This approach prevents search engines from identifying these as standard hyperlinks.
Despite these changes, the plugin still allows users to navigate to commenters' websites. This functionality is managed through CSS and a specific script, which determine whether the links remain clickable and how users can access the linked sites. Additionally, ARK HideCommentLinks removes the replytocom parameter from comment reply URLs, streamlining the structure of comment links.
The plugin is aimed at WordPress site administrators who want more control over how comment links are displayed and indexed. Installation involves uploading the plugin to a WordPress blog and activating it.
