All External Links are tagged “nofollow”

    Hey guys, We have a problem on our site. All the external links we add are automatically marked “nofollow” and this is not we want. If we wanted to add nofollow we can definitely do it manually for the given anchor text.

    Please help to figure out what is overriding this case.

    Thanks!

  • Hello,

    Thank you for contacting Rank Math and sorry for any inconvenience that might have been caused due to that.

    Please head over to Rank math > General Settings > Links and disable the option to add nofollow to external links.

    Looking forward to helping you. Thank you.

    Hi Michael, I made a screencast showing every setting is okay https://www.loom.com/share/426fffbfe38f45ff9870228a78169984

    Hi Aditya,

    Thanks for sharing the loom video.

    Could you please check the individual setting of a few links and make sure you haven’t added a nofollow manually?

    If not, please disable Rank Math temporarily and see if the nofollow is removed. If it is not, then you will know the nofollow is not added by Rank Math but rather some other plugin.

    If disabling Rank Math gets rid of the issue, we might need to take a closer look at the settings. Please include your WP logins in the designated Sensitive Data section.

    It is completely secure and only our support staff has access to that section. If you want, you can use the below plugin to generate a temporary login URL to your website and share that with us instead:

    You can use the above plugin in conjunction with the WP Security Audit Log to monitor what changes our staff might make on your website (if any):

    We really look forward to helping you.
