Anchor Text Option Removal?

When posted a new thread, the user is given a checkbox with the option "Automatically retrieve titles from external links"

I want to keep this disabled by default, but remove this option. I don't want to make it user selectable and want to make this option completely disappear.

How do I achieve this? Thanks in advance.

Hello ,

Setting is controlled directly within vBSEO Cp You can disable Anchor test replacing option.

I don't think you understand my question. I do not want to change the functionality of the anchor text.

I simply want to remove the end user's option to enable or disable this option in the newthread page.

Hello,

You can try to edit your vbseo/includes/functions_vbseo_hook.php file. Find:

$ds_tag = VBSEO_VB4 ? 'li' : 'div';
$disablesmiliesoption = '<'.$ds_tag.'><label for="qr_retrtitle"><input type="checkbox" name="vbseo_retrtitle" value="1" id="qr_retrtitle" ' . (($_POST['vbseo_retrtitle'] || !isset($_POST['vbseo_is_retrtitle']))? ' checked':'') . '/>' . (VBSEO_VB4 ? '' : ' ') . $vbphrase['vbseo_auto_retrieve_titles'] . '</label>
<input type="hidden" name="vbseo_is_retrtitle" value="1" /></'.$ds_tag.'>'
. $disablesmiliesoption;

Replace with:

/*$ds_tag = VBSEO_VB4 ? 'li' : 'div';$disablesmiliesoption = '<'.$ds_tag.'><label for="qr_retrtitle"><input type="checkbox" name="vbseo_retrtitle" value="1" id="qr_retrtitle" ' . (($_POST['vbseo_retrtitle'] || !isset($_POST['vbseo_is_retrtitle']))? ' checked':'') . '/>' . (VBSEO_VB4 ? '' : ' ') . $vbphrase['vbseo_auto_retrieve_titles'] . '</label>
<input type="hidden" name="vbseo_is_retrtitle" value="1" /></'.$ds_tag.'>'
. $disablesmiliesoption;*/

Please keep in mind that this is not officially supported. It may work, it may not work. Make a backup of the original *.php file.
