remove nofollow

We’ve identified several concerns in your post and responded to each below:

I would like to remove the nofollow attribute on all internal links.

The Yoast SEO plugin is only able to add the nofollow attribute on a page level. It isn’t able to modify these on a per link basis. You can select whether a page is set to ‘nofollow’ by performing the following steps:
​

​Go to the Edit screen for a page/post
​Scroll down to the Yoast Metabox
​Click on the ‘Advanced’ area
​For ‘Should search engines follow links on this Page?’ select ‘Yes’
​Click Update
​

​We also have a guide on how to set a page/post to nofollow or noindex here: https://kb.yoast.com/kb/how-do-i-noindex-urls/

I have also problem with the sitemap: Indexable pages missing in the sitemap.xml

Whereas the XML Sitemap should dynamically update after any modification to it, if the site or server is caching the sitemap this can cause it to not update right away. We also have additional information on this at the following link: https://kb.yoast.com/kb/sitemap-does-not-update/. If you are not seeing the sitemap as updated, we would recommend checking your caching settings and to ensure that the sitemap is being excluded from the cache.

If you are still experiencing an issue with the sitemap not updating after checking your caching settings, you can also force a cache reset by temporarily disabling the sitemap feature, and then re-enabling. To do so please perform the following steps:

​In WordPress go to SEO>General>Features
​For ‘XML Sitemaps’ Toggle the switch to ‘Disabled.’
​​Click ‘Save Changes.’
​Toggle the switch back to ‘Enabled.’
​Click ‘Save Changes.’

​We also have a guide on how to enable/disable XML Sitemaps here: https://kb.yoast.com/kb/enable-xml-sitemaps-in-the-wordpress-seo-plugin/

Whether you choose to set a type of content to nofollow depends on the nature of the links. Google roughly indicates that there are three reasons to nofollow links:

Untrusted content
Paid links
Crawl prioritization

Comments are an example of an area of content where you would typically not want the links to be followed, as they typically will have links that contain the first two types. We also have more information on what types of pages you may want to set to noindex/nofollow at the following link: https://yoast.com/which-pages-noindex-or-nofollow/

Hi there,

I got the same issue, a message from Ryte: Remove nofollow from all internal links.

-Everything seems to be ok in Yoast. It is set for following.
-Bluehost wasn’t helpful
-Ryte wasn’t helpful. Doesn’t say how to fix it. I am not sure if I should trust them at all with this message.
I understand I need to remove the nofollow code in HTML… BUT WHERE AND HOW?

could somebody please explain me like to a 6 year old, how to remove nofollow from my links? (I am asking this cause I see in many forums ‘insert this code’, insert that code… BUT WHERE DO I INSERT IT?)

Thanks a lot!!
