nofollow being added as inline attribute

    Hi there,

    RankMath is automatically adding the text “nofollow&quot” to my external links. It’s only on links where I have added the nofollow value for the rel attribute.

    So, an errant link will look like this: [a href=”#” rel=”noopener nofollow” nofollowquot;]TEXT[/a].

    I know it’s RankMath because I disabled the plugin and it stopped happening, and it’s happening again now that I’ve enabled it.

    I have the various nofollow settings all turned off.
