How to override rel=nofollow in a link

discussion on how to make a link follow when your site has rel=nofollow

[SouthAmericaLiving]

All external links on my site are rel=nofollow, thanks to a Wordpress plug-in.

I need to make a few (out of thousands) links "follow".

How can I override the backend nofollow to a few links?

thank you!

The answer depends upon several factors. Which plugin did you use and which theme are you using?

I am using a free theme - Hamasaki 1.6 - by Nurudin Jauhari.

Wordpress plugin is "External Nofollow" version 1.0 by Rilwis.

Can easily change to a new plugin (of course) if you can recommend one that can allow me to make a few links follow much appreciated!

You may have better luck using this plugin: [wordpress.org...] as I believe you have a choice on a link by link basis. Otherwise you may need to hack the plugin you're using and add some form of code logic to decide which links get the nofollow and which don't.

thanks much lorax... the hacking I can't do (years from that side of the Web work) but will get someone to do it if the other plugin doesn't work.

much appreciated, SAL

if you have a bit of knowledge of logical if else then you can make your chosen links without nofollow. Look into the code of your plugin for the word re="nofollow" you can find the code that is making all the outbound link nofollow.
