How do you make Wordpress nofollow?

How do you make Wordpress external links nofollow?

Do you need a plugin or can you do it with Wordpress? If so do you know a simple to use plugin?

Thanks

 

codex.wordpress.org/Nofollow is a good place to learn about making WP links nofollow

 

There are a couple of ways to do it, a manual way and the plugin way.

If you want to use a plugin, there is one for the blogroll: http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/blogroll-nofollow/. I do not know of one that will nofollow the links in the content though.

To do it manually you just need to edit 2 pages, usually. index.php and single.php

Just add a replace function that will replace any instances of "<a href" with "<a rel='nofollow' href".

$content = get_the_content();
$content = str_replace("<a href", "<a rel='nofollow' href", "$content")
echo $content;

I just found this too that you might be able to use: http://www.biggnuts.com/link-a-dink/. It's a plugin that lets you replace words in your content. I have not tried it my self but you can give this a try.

Hope this helps.

 

When your writing a post and want to make some links nofollow while others follow, add rel="nofollow" to the anchor tag.

eg. <a href="blah.com" rel="nofollow">Blah.com</a>

 

Thanks for the replies. I'm kinda uneasy messing with the code, maybe I'll try it on a new site, but it sounds like something that'll work. I'm trying to make it sitewide comments and all unless approved.
