Hi
How can I convert external all existing links on my website into nofollow and all future links also that I want to add untill unless I specify them as dofollow.
I don't want to use a plugin.
thanks
I want to make all external links by default nofollow.only want them to be dofollow when I set them myself
Hi there,
The theme itself doesn't have anything built-in for this and doesn't have control for this at all.
I would recommend going with a plugin solution:

If not you'd need to hire a developer to code a custom solution for you.
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.

GP or WP doesn't have this kind of function built in.
You will need a plugin or custom coding to achieve this.
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.
