Remove Author Username From Comment Class In WordPress

One of the security hole that is found in WordPress is that whenever admin comment or editor comment on any of the blog post, WordPress automatically add a class to the comment along with the username. So if you right click on any of the admin comment, you will find the username in the class.

This is not bad for styling, but for security reason this is not good. To remove username from comment class add the following to your theme function.php or add it to a site specific plugin.

//remove site author from comment css
function remove_comment_author_class($classes){
	foreach($classes as $key => $class)
		{
			if(strstr($class,"comment-author-"))
				{
					unset($classes[$key]);
				}
			}
			return $classes;
		}
add_filter('comment_class','remove_comment_author_class');

Hope that this article helped you to remove the author name from the comment class.
