Nofollow Shortcode

The simplest way to insert rel=nofollow links into your posts or pages.

Description

This plugin allows you to insert links with the nofollow rel tag to prevent search engines from crawling them. The shortcode also supports target= and title= attributes.

Installation

  1. Download the latest zip file and extract the 'nofollow-shortcode' directory.
  2. Upload it to your '/wp-content/plugins/' directory.
  3. Activate 'Nofollow Shortcode' on the 'Plugins' menu in WordPress.
  4. Insert [nofollow url="link-url.com"]Example link[/nofollow] in your post or page (replacing your link's information).

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I use the shortcode?

Simply type [nofollow url="link-url.com"]Example link[/nofollow] into your post. Replace link-url.com and Example link with your link's information.

You can also include other link optional attributes (if they are omitted, the title attribute will not be inserted and the target will default to _blank). A full example of the shortcode's potential is [nofollow url="link-url.com" title="Title of Link" target="_top"]Link Text[/nofollow].

You can also use the shorter shortcodes of [nofol] and [nofo] in the same way as [nofollow].

As of version 1.1, you may use the href= attribute instead of url= as that was causing a bit of confusion. However, both tags are still acceptable.
