    Hi there, sorry, you know I actually thought yesterday I should probably return and give some details, but then the day got away from me… so here I am, you’ve jogged my memory, thanks!

    I’m running WordPress 3.9.0 and Genesis Framework 2.0 on top of that.

    I installed and activated the “DoFollow Case by Case” plugin, and the setup for it duly appeared in the lower left-hand WordPress menu. In the whitelist setup choice, I entered into the email whitelist my email address (say, banana@banana.com) — the one that is also mine as my Administrator / user account for the site, the user account that I post under — which is, banana@banana.com. Saved. It saved properly, and showed my email address as saved.

    I then returned to a reply comment which I’d posted a bit earlier that day (replying to someone’s comment.) My written reply had a link in it such as ( http://www.banana.com/bananas#color ) that WordPress had made nofollow, and I wanted it to be “follow”, which is what brought me to you. So, I edited my comment, did a minor change of a sentence period to make sure the software would see there had been a change.

    At the bottom of the comment there was a new “DoFollow Case by Case” area which looked exactly like you said it would in screenshot-4 ( http://ps.w.org/dofollow-case-by-case/assets/screenshot-4.png?rev=744761 ) My email address showed up as whitelisted ; but for good measure I also ticked the “dofollow” box.

    Publish. Go back to post page on website. Clear cache in Firefox. Hit shift-refresh for good measure to make sure it’s cleared. Refresh page. Look at back-end source code of the page. Still showing “nofollow”. Ugh.

    Repeated editing and publshing comment a few times. Verified that I hadn’t spelled my email address wrong (ha!) but no I hadn’t.

    My next thought was, maybe it won’t work on pre-existing comments even if they are resaved, or maybe it doesn’t work on replies to commments. So, I created a fresh new test comment on another page. A direct comment, with the test link in the text of http://www.banana.com/vitamins . Save. Edit comment, tick “dofollow”, verify that it showed my email address as whitelisted and green arrow at the bottom, hit Publish. Clear cache. Put on grass skirt, dance around desk. Sit back down, revisit page. Check back end source code, and ugh. Nofollow again.

    That’s when I gave up as the day was getting away from me.

    I’m happy to provide any other info that might give you clues. I’m sure you have other work to do in your days so there is no rush and I’m already appreciative that you even made this product.

    BTW, maybe “reviews” isn’t the right place for this kind of information if so I can remove it afterward. Cheers.

    Hi. With WordPress 3.9.x and the Genesis Framework 2.0 it should work perfectly as we have several WordPress running this combination.

    If you want a link in a comment to be follow, you can select the DOFOLLOW option when editing the comment. When you save, the link will be follow.
    If you don’t want to edit every single comment, you can whitelist the email you use for commenting and all your links in the comments will be follow. When configuring this, you don’t have to save the comments again. It will be automatically FOLLOW. When configuring your email address in the whitelist, there is also the option to make the Author Url to which links your username FOLLOW (“Url AUthor Dofollow” option).

    You can see an example of how this works here: Example.

    This site is not running Genesis Framework 2, but I just checked on other sites that are running Genesis Framework 2 and it also works.

    I will make some debugging over the weekend, because maybe there can be some kind of conflict with other plugins.

    It would be great if you could send a list of plugins you are running.

    thanks!

    Here is a list of plug-ins: http://www.practicallyedible.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/05/practically-edible-plugins.png

    Here’s a page where the issue can be seen: http://www.practicallyedible.com/maldon-salt/

    Look at the bottom comment that I posted, the link of http://www.cooksinfo.com/salt#iodine you’ll see it’s getting a darned nofollow still.

    I have whitelisted my own author email address and my own author URL.

    We have checked the info you posted and somewhere in your theme there is something done with the links in the comments.

    In the example the link in the text has the class “MSI_ext_nofollow”, which is not normal.

    Could you search your theme to find where this class comes from?

    “In the example the link in the text has the class “MSI_ext_nofollow”, which is not normal.”

    Are you saying you see that in the page source? Maybe I’m looking in the wrong place in the page background source, but for me there is no “MSI_ext_nofollow” appearing in the page source, it looks like this (screen cap attached)

    I could arrange to give you temporary backend access if you would like, but I didn’t mean to cause a lot of work for you sorry.

    We have been checking this weekend on different sites with Genesis 2 framework and have not been able to reproduce the error you are having on your site.

    If you want we could have a look at your site next weekend. In that case we would need you to create a new admin user in WordPress and a FTP user. The most important for us is the FTP user to locate where the “MSI_ext_nofollow” attribute comes from.

    If you want us to check your site, please send this information to info AT apasionados.es or using our contact form.
