I would recommend going with a plugin solution: https://www.wpbeginner.com/plugins/how-to-nofollow-all-external-links-in-wordpress/ https://kinsta.com/knowledgebase/add-nofollow-links-in-wordpress/ https://www.greengeeks.ca/tutorials/article/how-to-add-nofollow-link-in-wordpress-and-why/ If not you’d need to hire a developer to code a custom solution for you. March 28, 2023 at 12:26 pm #2586149 roninway I am missing some detail as I seem to remember Yoast allowing this function. I have Linkwhisper but how does one make a link DOFOLLOW. I am not seeing any obvious option in WordPress/GP. March 28, 2023 at 1:58 pm #2586215 YingStaff Customer Support I am not seeing any obvious option in WordPress/GP. GP or WP doesn’t have this kind of function built in. You will need a plugin or custom coding to achieve this. March 28, 2023 at 2:13 pm #2586235 roninway Some general feedback. We need less themes and more of this basic stuff available in a theme we’ve bet longterm to grow with. More plugins are not useful to sites who are trying to maintain their speeds. Thanks.
