Nofollow attribute for links

Hi Brice, thanks for an excellent plugin! I have a feature request: can you please add rel="nofollow" to the links that output from the plugin?

I am using the plugin to cross-promote my sites e.g. Site A is displaying latest posts from Site B and vice versa. I am worried the sites will get penalized by Google for linking to each other like this.

I hope you can add this feature, otherwise please let me know how I can use one of the filters to add the nofollow attribute. Thank you

Hi,
You can easily achieve this with this hook :

function bweb_feedzy_add_nofollow_matches( $matches ) {
    return '<a href="' . $matches[1] . '" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">' . $matches[2] . '</a>';
}
function bweb_feedzy_add_nofollow( $content, $feedURL ) {
    $pattern= '/<a.*href=\"(https?:\/\/.*)\".*>(.*)<\/a>/iU';
    $content= preg_replace_callback( $pattern, 'bweb_feedzy_add_nofollow_matches', $content );
    return $content;
}
add_filter( 'feedzy_global_output', 'bweb_feedzy_add_nofollow', 9, 2 );

Cheers 😉
