Hello,
Thank you for contacting Rank Math and bringing your concern to our attention. I’m sorry for any inconvenience this issue may have caused you.
If you have enabled the Nofollow External Links option at Rank Math > General settings > Links, the nofollow attribute will be added to all the external links on your website.
To make a link dofollow, you can override “rel=nofollow” to a particular link by editing the anchor text as HTML.
Go to your post > Select the anchor text > Edit as HTML > In tag add rel=”follow” > Save
We are aware that rel=follow is not the correct rel-tag but it is the only way to make it work.
The other way would be to add the domain to the whitelist at WordPress Dashboard > Rank Math > General Settings > Links. Then, all links to that particular external domain will not be nofollowed.

I hope that helps.
