9,238 outgoing internal links contain nofollow attribute – warning

Hello @rocksody,

Thank you for contacting Rank Math support.

Our plugin doesn’t set the internal links as Nofollow. There must be some other plugin or your theme that is setting the internal links as Nofollow. Please follow this guide to figure that out: https://rankmath.com/kb/check-plugin-conflicts/

Let us know how that goes. Looking forward to helping you.

My problem was that element-kit widgets were created with the nofollow tag by default. To make sure the internal links in the posts are working properly, I added the following code inside the function.php file and my problem was solved thx.

• /** Filter NoFollow
  */
  function remove_nofollow($string) {
  return str_replace(‘ rel=”nofollow”‘, ”, $string);
  }
  add_filter(‘the_content’, ‘remove_nofollow’);

Hello @rocksody,

We are glad that you were able to resolve the issue.

However, you can manage the robots meta settings of ElementsKit Widgets from WP Dashboard > Rank Math SEO > Titles & Meta > Widgets and set them to Follow.

Don’t hesitate to get in touch in case you need our assistance with anything else.
