How To Make Link Unfollow? Please Help!

Hey Gala,

1. Are you referring on a link to an external site to open in new tab or window? instead of opening in the same tab?
2. I’m not really sure what you mean with unfollow, can you give us more context?

Best regards,
Nikko

Hi Gala,

Try adding this php code in functions.php:

add_filter('the_content', 'my_nofollow');
add_filter('the_excerpt', 'my_nofollow');
 
function my_nofollow($content) {
    return preg_replace_callback('/<a[^>]+/', 'my_nofollow_callback', $content);
}
 
function my_nofollow_callback($matches) {
    $link = $matches[0];
    $site_link = get_bloginfo('url');
 
    if (strpos($link, 'rel') === false) {
        $link = preg_replace("%(href=\S(?!$site_link))%i", 'rel="nofollow" $1', $link);
    } elseif (preg_match("%href=\S(?!$site_link)%i", $link)) {
        $link = preg_replace('/rel=\S(?!nofollow)\S*/i', 'rel="nofollow"', $link);
    }
    return $link;
}

Best regards,
