   WordPress automatically makes any link nofollow except the comment author. I have checked the comment-template.php but it seems to be fine:
   

   function get_comment_author_link() {
   	/** @todo Only call these functions when they are needed. Include in if... else blocks */
   	$url    = get_comment_author_url();
   	$author = get_comment_author();
   
   	if ( empty( $url ) || 'http://' == $url )
   		$return = $author;
   	else
   		$return = "<a href='$url' rel='external nofollow' class='url'>$author</a>";
   	return apply_filters('get_comment_author_link', $return);
   }

   Is there anywhere else I could look?

   I have found the relevant part of the code, it was under themes in my functions.php. The problem is, however, I don't know where to add the rel='external nofollow'
   

   <?php
   
       if (get_comment_author_url()):
   
         $authorlink='<span class="with-tooltip"><a id="commentauthor-'.get_comment_ID().'" href="'.get_comment_author_url().'">'.get_comment_author().'</a></span>';
   
               else:
   
           $authorlink='<b id="commentauthor-'.get_comment_ID().'">'.get_comment_author().'</b>';
   
          endif;
   
            printf(__('%s by %s on %s', 'arclite'), '<a href="#comment-'.get_comment_ID().'">#'.++$commentcount.'</a>', $authorlink, get_comment_time(get_option('date_format')).' - '.get_comment_time(get_option('time_format')));
   
                                       ?>

   I have tried putting it right after href="'.get_comment_author_url().'" but this crashes wordpress.
   $authorlink='<span class="with-tooltip"><a id="commentauthor-'.get_comment_ID().'" href="'.get_comment_author_url().'" rel='external nofollow'>'.get_comment_author().'</a></span>';

   Has anybody a solution to this?

   no one? I think this is actually easy if you know about php and wordpress. :)

   Ok I have managed it myself, I had to write rel="external nofollow" instead of rel='external nofollow'.
   Anybody knows why this is so?
