What It Does

This WordPress plugin gives you the possibility to remove the nofollow attribute from your WordPress blog's comments. You can do this case by case by editing each comment or through a white-list of commenters' emails, whose comments will always be dofollow.

This plugin allows you to set links in comments to be dofollow instead of nofollow. When editing a comment, you have the option to remove the rel=nofollow attributes from the links contained in them. You can also setup commenters' emails whose links in comments should always be dofollow.

Additionally, you can define URLs that when contained in a comment are always dofollow, allowing you to setup links to your own sites to be always dofollow. To add commenters' emails or URLs to the white list, go to DoFollow > DoFollow.

The Email White List contains a list of emails of commenters, whose links in comments are always dofollow. You can also choose to make the Author URL dofollow. The URL White List contains a list of URLs that are always dofollow, regardless of who links to them.

This plugin is available in English and Spanish, and it includes the necessary files for translation. For further information, you can contact us via email.
