Ok. Think I got it now. This is what I ended up with.

add_filter( 'get_comment_author_url_link', 'custom_comment_author_url_link' );
function custom_comment_author_url_link( $linktext, $before = '', $after = '' ){
    $url = get_comment_author_url();
    if ( $url == '' ) return;
	$display = ( $linktext != '' ) ? $linktext : $url;
		if ( '/' == substr( $display, -1) )
		$display = substr( $display, 0, -1);
	return "$display";
}

Ok.

I’ve tried it now and this code does two things.

As we were attempting to do it doesn’t produce the empty anchor tag. Thats great!

But. Something in the code makes the author url a link inside my site.

Instead of
authorurl.com

the link is
mysite.com/authorurl.com

I can’t really figure out what line does what. Help please.

Thanks again Sandy.

Tried your fix adding a new editor. That didn’t work. The new editor has the same issues.

Then I did a little search and wp-admin/includes/plugin.php on line 1395 includes remove_menu_page

So I searched my functions file for the same. What I did find was another hide-from-nonadmin snippet. I forgot I had it.

add_action('admin_init', 'remove_menus');
function remove_menus(){
	if(!current_user_can('add_users')){
		remove_menu_page('jetpack');
	}
}

It obviously hides Jetpack from non admins. When I deleted this the problem was solved.

But then Editors can access Jetpack and all its options. I really don’t want that. So I need to find another way to hide it I guess… So, now I have another problem.

Thank you for replying Sandy!
(didn’t see it until now, didn’t get the email notification)

I have some hide-if-not-admin code in my functions.php
But deleting them did no difference.

What I found though is that everything works fine on mamp/localhost.

So I guess the issue is with my web host? Is there something I can check and edit myself?

That filter unfortunately white-screens the site…

Any other suggestions?

Thank you Jose.

I found the comment-template file. I just don’t know how to edit it.

The adding a filter advise is a big help. But still I don’t know how to edit it. I’m not sure what the original if statement does.

if ( '/' == substr($display, -1) )
	        $display = substr($display, 0, -1);
	        $return = "$before<a href='$url' rel='external'>$display</a>$after";

Another push in the right direction please…

Sure sounds like a conflict. But I can’t find it.

I have inactivated EVERY plugin. Still doesn’t work.

This is the markup from my header.php

<nav>
<?php wp_nav_menu( array( 'theme_location' => 'main-menu' ) ); ?>
</nav>

When containing three items the menu is displayed as it should be. When a fourth item is added nothing is displayed. It’s empty…

<nav>
<div class=" responsiveSelectContainer"></div>
</nav>

Can’t figure out what the “markup issue” could possibly be. I’m guessing something is messed up in the database. How can uninstall the plugin and clear every little trail left in the database?

Thanks.
