Nofollow links?

Hello,

I’m sorry to hear about the issue you’re facing with your external/outbound links showing up as nofollow. If you are using Rank Math SEO plugin, this might be due to the global setting that applies nofollow to all external links.

To change this setting and make your external links followable again, you can follow these steps:

1. Navigate to Rank Math SEO → General Settings → Links inside your WordPress admin area.

2. Look for the Nofollow External Links option and disable it if it’s currently enabled.

Here is a screenshot to help you locate the setting:

After making this change, your external links should no longer have the nofollow attribute applied automatically. Don’t forget to save the changes by clicking the Save Changes button at the bottom of the page.

If you have any further questions or need assistance, please feel free to reach out to our support team, available 24×7 to help you promptly.

Thank you for bringing this to our attention. We hope this resolves the issue for you.
