1 comment

1. You may want to try using str_replace or preg_replace on the the Website Field alone:

   <?php
   	// Do not delete these lines
   	if (!empty($_SERVER['SCRIPT_FILENAME']) && 'comments.php' == basename($_SERVER['SCRIPT_FILENAME']))
   		die ('Please do not load this page directly. Thanks!');
   	
   	$comments_by_type = separate_comments($comments);
   ?>
   
   <div id="comments" class="comments-wrap">
       
   	<?php if (post_password_required()): ?>
   		<p class="nopassword"><?php _e('This post is password protected. Enter the password to view any comments.', 'gummfw'); ?></p>
   		</div><!-- #comments -->
   
   	<?php
   		return;
   		endif;
   	?>
   	
   	<?php if (have_comments() && comments_open()): ?>
           <div class="bluebox-heading-wrap">
               <h3 class="bluebox-heading"><?php comments_number(__('No Comments', 'gummfw'), __('One Comment', 'gummfw'), __('% Comments', 'gummfw'));?></h3>
           </div>
           
           <ol class="comment-list">
               <?php
               wp_list_comments(array(
                   'callback' => array(
                       GummRegistry::get('Controller', 'Comments'),
                       'view'
                   ),
               ));
               ?>
           </ol>
   
   		<?php if (get_comment_pages_count() > 1 && get_option('page_comments')): // Are there comments to navigate through? ?>
   			<div class="navigation">
