Hello @deralict,
Thank you for contacting Rank Math support.
It seems to be working fine on our end with the latest version. Please confirm if you are using a page builder and if the link options work fine after rolling back to the previous version. You can follow this guide to rollback: https://rankmath.com/kb/version-control/#native-rollback
Looking forward to helping you.

Yes I am using a page builder (Bricks). Rolling back to v.1.0.212.1 did not fix the issue.
Hello @deralict,
According to Bricks Builder, they have already integrated our Content Analysis API in their plugin (see change log) but as the issue is still occurring on your pages, we suggest you get in touch with their support and inform them so they can improve the integration to fix it.
Looking forward to helping you.

The Bricks team state they follow standard WP conventions and have integrated the Content Analysis API.
I installed the plugin WP Links (https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-external-links/) and it correctly adds the nofollow attribute.
This points to the bug being in RankMath.
Hello @deralict,
We have replicated the issue on our end and the reason behind this issue is because of the way Bricks Builder is storing their content in the database.
The post_content in the database is currently empty, meaning, Bricks is storing the content from their builder in a different location. See screenshot: https://i.rankmath.com/i/2NIhj6
Rank Math relies on the data in the post_content to add the link attributes and if there’s no data there, our plugin cannot add those attributes. You will have to manually add them via the builder you are currently using.
Don’t hesitate to get in touch with us if you have any other questions.
