    I am unable to get rid of nofollow link or any other link in my post. I searched for plugin or guide but no plugin exists(Didn't find the right one) to make URL in the post dofollow. All plugins leads to dofollow or nofollow in comments.

    I read certain guys says it depends on your theme, so let me tell you I use Canvas theme by WOO along with Yoast as the SEO plugin. Any idea from your end? The blog is yopatel.com.

    Do you know any easy method to make any single link in the post do follow.

    Please check that out and let me know!

    By default all links in Wordpress posts are dofollow, you do not need a plugin to achieve this. Wordpress only adds nofollow to links in comments. "Dofollow" is just another word for a normal link, any link without rel="nofollow" is considered a dofollow link.

    Are you sure of this? Because rel="nofollow" simply indicates that its no follow link, I was just going that way!

    I guess if you are not having no follow links in the article body than you might have installed any plugin to make all external links nofollow. To check it select the link and right click on your mouse to hit view source. Now see if the code executed in your browser shows nofollow attribute. If attribute is missing this means you have dofollow outbound links otherwise check to see if any plugin is creating disturbance.

    If your template contains rel="nofollow" in article body, then you can edit this manually. Just rewrite rel="nofollow" to rel="follow". You can find it right in wordpress admin panel > appearance > editor. Search for "post" or "article" or "single" something like that. In code search for rel="nofollow" and edit it. No need for plugins. It's complicated for that platform. This is much easier
