How do I add nofollow to a link that redirects to a random post?

    Rank Math free

    I have a plugin that randomly redirects to a post. The plugin is very useful, unfortunately I think it has the follow attribute. Surely this link should be nofollow. Unfortunately I can’t contact the author, but I would like to put the nofollow on that link. I put the disallow in the robots.txt file, but I don’t think it’s the best choice.

    What can I do with Rank Math?

    Hello,

    Thank you for contacting support.

    If the link is coming from another plugin you cannot use our plugin to set the link to nofollow. Our plugin can only help change that with links that are on the content of your website, not inside other plugins.

    Don’t hesitate to get in touch if you have any other questions.

    This is a serious lack of functionality. We need to be able to add nofollow. What do I do? Do I create a page with that link, put noindex and nofollow? Do you have any solutions?

    Great

    Hello,

    Unfortunately, the Rank Math plugin cannot do that at this time. You may require an external plugin for that functionality.

    If you need assistance with anything else, please feel free to let us know.
