Remove allowed tags

This article is now obsolete, the allowed tags are hidden by default.

The allowed HTML tags a user can utilize in a comment are listed just below the new reply textarea

allowed_tags

many users do not want them there, so let’s find out how to remove them.

You will need to edit your theme’s functions.php file and paste this

add_filter( 'comment_form_defaults', 'remove_comment_form_allowed_tags' );
function remove_comment_form_allowed_tags( $defaults ) {
$defaults['comment_notes_after'] = '';
return $defaults;
}

at the very bottom of the file, if the file ends in a PHP closing tag ?> you paste the code just above the tag, save and the allowed tags are gone.
