Hello,
Thanks for contacting us and we regret the inconvenience caused.
Could you please let us know which tool are you using to test the page?
I checked the source of the affected link that you’ve shared and I was unable to find any No Index or No Follow tags. I also tested the page using Google’s Rich Results testing tool, and the page is eligible for rich results. Please see the screenshots available in the sensitive data section of this ticket.
Please double-check if you’ve applied the No Index or No Follow tag globally or on the post/page. Please see this screencast for a quick reference: https://i.rankmath.com/B0qK9M
Please let us know how that goes.
Thanks.
Sorry why should I apply a no index tag to my post? I want it to be indexed so it appears in search results.
My query is some internal links are showing as no follow when they should be do follow
Oh and I was using Ahref site audit
Hello,
Thank you for the follow-up, and sorry for the delay.
I’ve checked the links you have shared, and indeed the external links have the no-follow attribute added to them. In this case, please head over to Rank Math > General Settings > Links and make sure that the NoFollow External Links is disabled.
Please also note that some options are only available when you enable the Advanced Mode in Rank Math. If it’s not showing, you must have chosen to use the Easy Mode. Please follow the steps in this link to switch to Advanced Mode:

I hope that helps. Thank you, and looking forward to your update.
Thank you for your reply. However, it is the INTERNAL links that I want as do-follow.
I want to keep the external as no-follow.
I can’t see an option for internal links.
Thank you for your help.
Hello,
Rank Math does not add nofollow attribute to internal links.
Can you please deactivate Rank Math and check if the issue persists or not.
Assuming you are using the latest version of all the plugins and the themes (please update if not yet), you can try to find the conflicting plugin with the following guide: https://rankmath.com/kb/check-plugin-conflicts/
Please let us know if you find the culprit.
Only the site admin would know and your users won’t be affected by this troubleshooting.
Looking forward to helping you.
Hi
When I deactivated Rank Math the issue was rectified. I will look at the plugins.
