I just found a way better solution. 🙂
Go to this topic and download the plugin posted by Kafkaesqui.
To make category links on posts and pages nofollow just add this line to the code:
add_filter('the_category', 'szub_nofollow_tag');
Should work with the other ones too.
Hi there I just started using WP and came across the same problem. Your post was the only thing I could find about it here in the support area.
I just figured out a solution, I hope this helps you.
<a href="<?php echo get_category_link($cat);?>" rel="nofollow"><?php
foreach((get_the_category()) as $category) {
echo $category->cat_name . '';
}
?></a>
This will return the category of the post and make it a nofollow link with the name of the category as the anchor text.
On my blog I am not posting posts to multiple categories, only one category per post, so if you are posting to multiple categories this code will need to be tweaked a bit so the anchor text looks nice. Just put a , or a space between the single quotes in this line:
echo $category->cat_name . '';
and it should look fine.
Namaste
