Thank you for contacting the support, and sorry for any inconvenience that might have been caused due to that.
Please ensure that you are using the latest version of Rank Math plugin. If not yet, please do update them. You may refer to our changelog page here: https://rankmath.com/changelog/
If the issue persists, we might need to take a closer look at the settings. Please edit the first post on this ticket and include your WordPress login 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:

We really look forward to helping you.
Hello,
I have updated the sensitive data as requested. Can you please check further?
Thank you.
Morning Rank Math, latest update appears to have caused a slight bug – I get the following error: We found 6 outbound links in your content and all of them are nofollow
Each page this occurs on is using follow and nofollow. Slightly annoying as score not going green!
Hello,
@Coscienza, the logins that you’ve shared don’t seem to be working.
However, @Coscienza @Richard, could you confirm if you’ve enabled the Nofollow External Links option from Rank Math > General Settings > Links? If yes, then since all the outbound links are nofollowed, the test automatically fails.
Looking forward to hearing back from you.
Thank you.
Hi Prabhat, Nofollow External Links was set, but I assumed that this could be manually overridden. This is not the case?
Switching it off appears to have fixed the problem.

Problem solved! It was the nofollow option in Rank Math settings, I don’t know how it was enabled, maybe during an update because I had not set it.
I will leave the thread here open for a few days, just to check that all is OK on time
Thanks
Hello,
@Richard, yes that can be overwritten from the post editor window.
We are super happy that we could address your concern. If you have any other questions in the future, know that we are here to help you.
If you don’t mind us asking, could you please leave us a review (if you haven’t already) on https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/seo-by-rank-math/reviews/#new-post about your overall experience with Rank Math? We appreciate your time and patience.
If you have another question in the future, please feel free to create a new forum topic, and it will be our pleasure to assist you again.
Thank you.
Hi Prabhat
I had overridden the NoFollow for specific links. That was the issue, they were being ignored. Does this mean that I have to manually set no follow on inks and cannot use the Nofollow External Links option?
My nofollow links greatly outnumber my Follow links.
Thanks

Hello,
The Nofollow External Links option can be overwritten from the post editor window only if the link is edited as HTML and applied with the rel=”dofollow” attribute manually.
Alternatively, you can use the Nofollow Domains and Nofollow Exclude Domains option to apply the nofollow attribute only to specific domains: https://rankmath.com/kb/general-settings/#nofollow-domains
Hope this helps.
Thank you.
