    Hi, when i use this plugin it is not successfully making my external links nofollow. I have set it up in the external links tab and pressed save, and cleared the cache. I have included a link as an example but the problem is on many pages. On the page I shared the two visit store links should be nofollow but they are not.
    Thank you for your help.

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

    I am having the same error as well. Additionally I do NOT have “noopener” selected but all my external links keep switching to “noopener.”

    Lillyemma, do you mind me asking what theme you use?

    I have also just noticed that the plugin is making some internal links nofollow.

    I hope someone can help us with a solution.

    Hi,

    Please send us a copy of your WPEL Settings (Copy Technical Info in Support tab of WPEL) so we can see if it’s a setting that is causing the issue.

    Setting look OK. I don’t have a solution unfortunately 😕 I seems like the way the theme is generating that section is preventing WPEL from picking up those links. Or it might be a compatibility issue with another plugin that is also filtering the content. You can try disabling other plugins and see if it fixes it.

    disabling all plugins doesn’t fix it.

    It must be the theme then. I will add to our ToDo to test with Enfold but I can’t give you any timeframe on that 😕
