   Hello everyone,

   I am guessing this is a pretty easy problem to solve, but being new to the wordpress game I am having a little trouble with it.

   What I want to have happen is when a commenter provides a URL, a link appears in the comment to the author's website. That's the easy part. The problem is that even if the commenter doesn't provide a URL, the link text appears, linking to "#" and providing no distinction between the commenters with websites and those without. Here is the code I am currently using:

   <?php comment_author_url_link('My Awesome Website'); ?>

   According to the documentation, this "Displays the comment author's URL (usually their web site), linked,if one was provided..." However it seems to instead be providing a link no matter if a URL exists or not.

   Does anyone have a fix for this?

   I haven't really used this before but something like this might work:

   <?php if(get_comment_author_url() != ""){ comment_author_url_link(); } ?>
