[Support request] Remove Nofollow for internal links in comments

[Vijaykumar]

Is it possible to use/update any hack to remove Nofollow link attribute from the comment section? Both from the comment website url section as well as from the comment body? This is giving SEO issues for internal links from the comment section as these links shouldn’t be Nofollow.

Hi there,

Thanks.
I can see using function remove_filter( ‘pre_comment_content’, ‘wp_rel_nofollow’, 15 );
but it removes Nofollow from ALL links. I am not sure how to use it for ONLY internal links. Any idea?

Hmm, I just researched this a little and I’m not sure if it’s possible. You might need to ask over on stackexchange to see if anyone knows of a solution.

[Vijaykumar]

oh ok
but please consider this as a value-addition to the Generatepress theme.
If not now but maybe in future, as this issue is pointed many SEO audits.

I’ll definitely keep an eye out for the solution.
