Hello,
I’m sorry to hear that you are facing an issue with the nofollow links error in Rank Math even though you have not enabled it in your WordPress settings.
Rank Math might be capturing the presence of nofollow links due to the global setting that applies nofollow to all external links. This setting can be configured under Rank Math SEO → General Settings → Links inside your WordPress admin area.
To check if this setting is enabled, please follow these steps:
- Log in to your WordPress dashboard.
- Navigate to Rank Math SEO → General Settings → Links.
- Look for the Nofollow External Links option and ensure it is disabled. If it’s enabled, you can toggle it off to prevent Rank Math from automatically applying the nofollow attribute to all external links.
If you have already verified this setting and it’s disabled, but the issue persists, there might be another setting affecting external links. You can also consider checking individual link settings within your posts or pages to ensure that specific links are not set to nofollow.
If you need further assistance or have any other questions, please feel free to reply here, and a human agent from our support team will assist you promptly.
Thank you for reaching out with your concern.
