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).

FAQ

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.
