Dear Rank Math Support Team,I am contacting you regarding a persistent issue where internal links on my website are being flagged with the rel=”nofollow” attribute, according to my SEO audit tool (SEMrush / Ahrefs / Other).Context and Settings:Main SEO Plugin: I am using Rank Math (version [Insert version, e.g., 1.0.215]) on my WordPress site.Rank Math Configuration: I have verified the Rank Math SEO $\rightarrow$ General Settings $\rightarrow$ Links section and confirmed that the option to apply nofollow to Internal Links is disabled (or does not exist, as per Rank Math’s default behavior).Manual Check: I have also manually inspected the HTML code of the reported internal links and removed the rel=”nofollow” attribute. However, the issue either persists or the attribute reappears.Problem Symptoms:My SEO audit tool is flagging [State the number of links/pages affected, e.g., 50 links] with the nofollow tag. This is negatively impacting the internal flow of link equity.Examples of Affected Links:Source Page (Where the link is located): [Your Example URL 1]Target Page (The nofollow internal link): [Your Target URL 1]Source Page (Where the link is located): [Your Example URL 2]Target Page (The nofollow internal link): [Your Target URL 2]Diagnostic Steps Taken:Suspecting a plugin conflict, I have performed the following checks:Plugin Conflict Check: I temporarily disabled other linking, optimization, and page builder plugins. [State if the issue stopped or persisted after deactivation].Theme Check: I switched to a default WordPress theme (e.g., Twenty Twenty-Four) to rule out the theme as the cause. [State if the issue stopped or persisted with the default theme].Cache Clearing: I have cleared all site cache (server cache and [Name of your cache plugin] cache) before running the audit again.My Request:I kindly request your assistance in identifying whether Rank Math might be injecting this attribute under certain conditions, or if you can help pinpoint which other plugin or theme component might be responsible for this behavior so that I can resolve it permanently.Please let me know what access or additional information (e.g., WP Admin access, FTP credentials, Site Health report) you require.Thank you for your time and support.
