Adding No-Follow To Wordpress Blog

    Hi, recently created a wordpress blog, and noticed that theres 4 do-follow links from plugins and the theme i have installed. Do you manually need to go through the code to add no-follow to these links or is there a easier way?

    I can't imagine that there'd be an easier way if you want to add nofollow to selective links. The theme links will probably be easy unless the creator put something in place to cripple the theme if the credit links are modified. The plugin links, though... not always very easy to find, especially if they're in the database as opposed to hard-coded.

    If those links are from the theme and some plugins, it'll be quicker to just go through those files to fix the links then dealing with adding in a plugin to modify the outputted code. You have to remember that each time a page loads, wordpress goes through all the plugins and this adds to the delivery time of the pages as well as processor usage.

    Just edit the theme and plugin files. Easier in the long run.

    If you give us a link to your site, we may be even able to tell you where within the files to go looking.

    Most links from plugins are optional. Why don't you just deactivate them?
