Could it be that I have Buddypress activated as well?
Buddypress has this “wp_rel_nofollow_callback() – Callback to add rel=nofollow string to HTML A element.”
*Wouldn’t mind also being able to disable nofollow links for admins on buddypress too.
Thank you, unfortunately just tested it creating a new users with for both admin and editor roles and posting a reply with a link and the nofollow is still there 🙁
