=============================

Nofollow Links in Posts plugin enables you to add the “nofollow” attribute into links in a post within a specified category.

This plugin is useful if you are doing sponsored posts. You can set the plugin to add rel=”nofollow” into links in posts older than “X” days.

If this plugin was able to differentiate between internal and external links – it would be perfect!!

Any plans to include this feature at some stage?

im pretty confused with this plugin. i set # of days for a certain category. but there is no effect as it places a rel=”follow” attribute on even the latest post, which should not be because i set it to N # of days

im using wp 2.7. and i currently set x # of days on a certain category. and it’s just been 2 days and a nofollow attribute is already added to the post.

i think that since my post has 3 categories, it will only get the first category that it can find (and categories are sorted alphabetically). i had a product and sp category. and i only set sp with # of days but it did not have any effect, it still added the nofollow tag. only when i also set something for the product category did it work. does this plugin support a 1 category per post only? thank you. this is a very good plugin. i hope that you can add this features. to cater if a post has more than 1 category assigned to it.

Nice plugin.I’m will download and use this plugin.Thanks you

Thank you, this plugin is definitely going to be very useful for my auto blogs.

Cool plugin, but it appears to break Lightbox 2.

Thanks! Awesome plugin. I set it to 1, so that it would cover all of my archive posts. How do I know if it’s working? I checked a few posts to see if no follow appears in the htis the nofollow added?

Also, does this cover links in your sidebar, and comments, or only the posts?
Thanks.

This plugin does not appear to be compatible with wordpress 2.8.

Will there be an update?

Thanks!

I just started using this plugin a few weeks ago and now it crash upon startup for WordPress 2.8. I’ve disabled it by removing the plugin file via FTP, but now I need something to do what this plugin was doing.

Can someone please recommend a plugin I can use to replace this one? Thanks.

Ahh Crap! No support. This was a great plugin too!

I don’t think there is a better replacement.

Shame.

Sorry guys. I’ve recently entered college and I’ve got to get my priorities straight for the time being.

Thanks for all your support!

No problem. Good luck with your studies.

Can someone please make a version of this that works in WordPress 2.8? It’s open source, so I’m hoping that someone will pick it up and make a new version that works.

Wish I had the programming knowledge to do it… but unfortunately, I was depending on this to work and now it doesn’t.

Had I known that it would just stop working with the new version of WordPress, I would have built my links with nofollow tags included. Now I have to do a bunch of cleanup because I used this plugin and have been left hanging.

bump for a WP 2.8 upgrade!!!

I will be launching a working version of this for wordpress 2.8 later tonight- if interested follow me on twitter: @patrickcurl and I will send a tweet when I’m finished coding it.

Or just check my blog.

I have posted my version which I’m calling: NoLiP: Nofollow Links in Posts Reborn.

I’m working on getting it listed over at wordpress.org — for now you can download it at:

http://www.theresabloginmysoup.com/NoLIP.zip

I’ve tried to add as much credit as I can with links to this blog on the main plugin page at:

http://www.theresabloginmysoup.com/wordpress-plugins/nolip/

as well as on the admin page of the plugin.

Patrick – thank you very much for creating the updated plug-in.

VERY much appreciated.

Thank you Patrick. This means a lot. If I wasn’t so frigging poor right now I would donate again.

Hopefully my PR goes back up and I get some good opportunities again and then you can expect a nice donation.

This should be a WP feature that’s included in the release IMO.

Patrick Curl, Thank you for updating the plugin for WP 2.8
