Failure to Launch

    Forgive me if I have not understood the operation procedure, but having installed the External Links – nofollow, noopener & new window plugin, and set it to make all external links to “do follow” in a new window. I clicked save, and expected this to automatically adjust all the links on my site to that specification. I’m told it hasn’t done anything. What did I do wrong?

    The page I need help with: [log in to see the link]

    Hi,

    It looks like the plugin is active and applying the link settings. Technically there is no “dofollow” attribute, just “nofollow”. All links are followed unless explicitly set as “nofollow”. As far as I can see your external links are set to “nofollow” and to open in a new window. If you change the follow/nofollow option to “follow” then it will just remove the nofollow attribute but you also have to check the “Overwrite” option under the box if “nofollow” is hardcoded or added by something else.

    Thanks Alex, even though I never click on the nofollow box, all my links become nofollow, and I have no idea why. I have put this app on the site, but despite your suggestion, I can’t help but feel it won’t work. Check out any of my posts at [ redundant link deleted ] so see that I mean.

    Can you please copy/paste the technical info from the Support tab so I can check the settings?

    I’d be glad to, but I don’t know where to get it. Could you provide directions?

    In the External Links plugins Settings there’s a Support button in the top menu 🙂
