“Nofollow External Links” not working

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.

I’ve checked the link you have shared, and the external links (images) are opening in a new tab. You can refer to the screencast in the sensitive data section.

Could you please confirm if the issue still persists? Please try clearing your website and browser’s cache for troubleshooting.

Looking forward to helping you.

Thank you.

Hello,

We might need to take a closer look at the settings. Please edit the first post on this ticket and include your WordPress & FTP logins in the designated Sensitive Data section.

Please do take a complete backup of your website before sharing the information with us.

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:

https://wordpress.org/plugins/temporary-login-without-password/

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):

Looking forward to helping you.

Thank you.

Hello,

The dofollow on the images is getting added by some other plugin or your theme and we cannot override it.

Even the image data saved in the database is correct and it has the nofollow but when the images load that tag is added and overrides our settings and the content you have on the database.

We recommend following the steps mentioned here to check for plugin conflicts and figure out which plugin/theme is causing this: https://rankmath.com/kb/check-plugin-conflicts/

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