Simple Wordpress How to Question

How can I remove the email field from the comments or email & url?

I tried deleting the code directly from comments.php but when a user tries to comment it brings up an error.

I think I just need to hide it but how, I have tried a few ways by adding code to my functions.php but they always result in a header error.

Dashboard > Settings > Discussions

There you can uncheck Comment author must fill out name and e-mail and you have other options about comments too

This is ok and I didn't know this was possible but all it does is stop the fields being mandatory.
I want to remove them altogether (or hide them).

Than once they are not mandatory find them in comments function, usually in comments.php and remove them, or use css to hide them.

If you read my post, I tried deleting the code but when a user tries to post a comment it generates an error.
I have tried a few options for hiding it, usually within the functions.php file. How do I hide it with CSS?

add this to your functions file

add_filter('comment_form_default_fields', 'email_filtered');
function email_filtered($fields)
{
if(isset($fields['url'],$fields['email']))
unset($fields['url'],$fields['email']);
  return $fields;
}

disable ?require email? in WP preferences aswell

This didn't do anything at all..

Add to htaccess maybe? I´m not an Apache expert, but I think this should work.

limit the POST function to specific countries. The POST request method is used when the client needs to send data to the server as part of the request, such as when uploading a file or submitting a completed form so keep in mind this will affect all POST methods on your site.

#BLOCK_POLAND
<Limit POST>
order allow,deny
deny from 46.17.112.0/21
deny from 46.18.104.0/21
deny from 46.20.48.0/20
and so on....


allow from all
</Limit>
#COUNTRY_BLOCK_END
