Title: WordPress 4.2 issues Last modified: August 24, 2016 --- # WordPress 4.2 issues * Resolved [ia2ca](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ia2ca/) * (@ia2ca) * [11 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wordpress-42-issues/) * Cross-posting here for visibility – * It appears that the latest WP update (4.2) is incompatible with Ultimate Nofollow. When active, it will not allow you to insert any link at all. Only disabling the plugin can you insert any hyperlink. * [https://wordpress.org/plugins/nofollow/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/nofollow/) Viewing 15 replies - 1 through 15 (of 31 total) 1 [2](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wordpress-42-issues/page/2/?output_format=md) [3](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wordpress-42-issues/page/3/?output_format=md) [→](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wordpress-42-issues/page/2/?output_format=md) * [jtracy](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jtracy/) * (@jtracy) * [11 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wordpress-42-issues/#post-6052345) * Same problem here. Ultimate No-Follow was an AWESOME plugin. I wish you had continued to support it. It’s now broken with the latest WordPress release and it’s a shame I have to uninstall it. RIP Ultimate Nofollow. * [Marko6548](https://wordpress.org/support/users/marko6548/) * (@marko6548) * [11 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wordpress-42-issues/#post-6052362) * Hello * I have the same problem here. It will not allow you to insert any link at all. * I deactivate the plugin. RIP Ultimate Nofollow. * [Senuke](https://wordpress.org/support/users/cavor/) * (@cavor) * [11 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wordpress-42-issues/#post-6052427) * +1 * [mansteinspain](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mansteinspain/) * (@mansteinspain) * [11 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wordpress-42-issues/#post-6052445) * yes, same problem…. * any other alternative? or just add it mannually? * [mccomb](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mccomb/) * (@mccomb) * [11 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wordpress-42-issues/#post-6052455) * Why does WP not give you a nofollow option? Seems like good SEO practice these days. * [Frank_F19](https://wordpress.org/support/users/frank_f19/) * (@frank_f19) * [11 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wordpress-42-issues/#post-6052461) * Same problem here. Can’t insert links while this plugin is active since update. Fingers crossed this gets fixed! * [TFolder](https://wordpress.org/support/users/tfolder/) * (@tfolder) * [11 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wordpress-42-issues/#post-6052470) * Same problem here as well. * [Frank_F19](https://wordpress.org/support/users/frank_f19/) * (@frank_f19) * [11 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wordpress-42-issues/#post-6052488) * I tried sending the plugin author a message about this issue via their website contact form. * [zoecorkhill](https://wordpress.org/support/users/zoecorkhill/) * (@zoecorkhill) * [11 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wordpress-42-issues/#post-6052497) * I’ve fixed this by updating the wplink files to reflect the changes to the file in WP 4.2 – you can download a working version of the plugin at: * `https://www.dropbox.com/s/nwxtifzh6dcga9b/nofollow-edit.zip?dl=0` * The folder name is different & the plugin name, so it won’t interfere with updates to Ultimate Nofollow from the original plugin author 🙂 * [Fabio Santos](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ffsantos92/) * (@ffsantos92) * [11 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wordpress-42-issues/#post-6052504) * You can check this plugin: [https://wordpress.org/plugins/rel-nofollow-checkbox/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/rel-nofollow-checkbox/) * [Frank_F19](https://wordpress.org/support/users/frank_f19/) * (@frank_f19) * [11 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wordpress-42-issues/#post-6052508) * That plugin works but wow is it going to be a pain switching all my WordPress sites over. Hopefully Ultimate NoFollow will just be fixed so we don’t have to deal with all that. * [zoecorkhill](https://wordpress.org/support/users/zoecorkhill/) * (@zoecorkhill) * [11 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wordpress-42-issues/#post-6052509) * Hopefully the plugin author will apply my fix – that’s what happened a year ago * [CanadianBudgetBinder](https://wordpress.org/support/users/canadianbudgetbinder/) * (@canadianbudgetbinder) * [11 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wordpress-42-issues/#post-6052561) * Same thing happened to me tonight. I had to sadly deactivate. I really hope the developer responds with an update as I’d like to continue using it. * [Doug](https://wordpress.org/support/users/nicoblog/) * (@nicoblog) * [11 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wordpress-42-issues/#post-6052579) * Thanks [@zoecorkhill](https://wordpress.org/support/users/zoecorkhill/) your version worked for me. * [Senuke](https://wordpress.org/support/users/cavor/) * (@cavor) * [11 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wordpress-42-issues/page/2/#post-6052586) * Thank you zoecorkhill Viewing 15 replies - 1 through 15 (of 31 total) 1 [2](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wordpress-42-issues/page/2/?output_format=md) [3](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wordpress-42-issues/page/3/?output_format=md) [→](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wordpress-42-issues/page/2/?output_format=md) The topic ‘WordPress 4.2 issues’ is closed to new replies. * ![](https://s.w.org/plugins/geopattern-icon/nofollow_e3e3e3.svg) * [Ultimate Nofollow](https://wordpress.org/plugins/nofollow/) * [Frequently Asked Questions](https://wordpress.org/plugins/nofollow/#faq) * [Support Threads](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/nofollow/) * [Active Topics](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/nofollow/active/) * [Unresolved Topics](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/nofollow/unresolved/) * [Reviews](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/nofollow/reviews/) * 31 replies * 22 participants * Last reply from: [meowza](https://wordpress.org/support/users/meowza/) * Last activity: [10 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wordpress-42-issues/page/3/#post-6052879) * Status: resolved
