• Some of my custom “Links” go to pages that have requested I add rel=”nofollow” to my links.

    Is there a way to add custom fields to links on the “Links” page?

  • Could you elaborate on the Links page? Is that regular page where you manually add links? Are you trying to manually add this attribute to the links or are you looking for a programmatic way to do it automatically?

    In the WordPress backend, there is a section called “Links” where you can create sidebar links.

    The number of valid “rel” fields is limited to ONLY the buttons & checkboxes in the “Link Relationship XFN” section. “nofollow” is not among the choices.

    With further research, I found a “workaround” by disabling Javascript (no longer available in Firefox without an Add-On), allowing you to enter whatever you want on the “rel” line. Save your changes and you can reenable Javascript without losing the “nofollow” reference.

    Thanks, but I saw that plugin already. It’s biggest limitation is that it’s “all or nothing” when it comes to Blogroll links.

    What about this?

    BTW, have you tried manually adding rel="nofollow"?

    Hey, that (plugin) works. Thx.

    Doing it manually isn’t an option with side Links. WordPress php creates the links on the fly. The resulting code is not visible/editable and I could not locate the specific php page that creates the code (and even if I did, it would be replaced upon the next update).

    Thx.
