Every post is set to NOFOLLOW

My website started making every external link on my site set to NOFOLLOW. I switched from Yoast SEO to All in One SEO since is has the tool for controlling that per link. But it didn’t work. I tried your plugin and it worked for about 2 days and now it will not override whatever is causing this. I can go into a post that is marked FOLLOW, but when I click on update, it changes it to NOFOLLOW. So far, this issue isn’t affecting my Thrive Architect built pages, only in WordPress standard editor pages. If someone could just tell me what PHP or Config file that controls this, I think I could change it. My site seems to know the difference between internal and external links as it isn’t messing with internal links. If I can’t get this fixed, then I am just going to have to build a new website to replace this one with. My hosting or Thrive Themes can’t help me.
