Remove rel=”nofollow” for admin only?

    @jameshh93

    It makes little sense to set nofollow links on my site from trusted members. Is there a quick functions.php fix that will remove the no follow tag on external links for accounts who have admin or editor status only?

    Thank you!

    the no follow is added at output, not on saving.

    so we need to see if the topic/reply is written by an admin or editor and then remove the filter that does the no-follow

    This coded is untested, but should work

    
    add_filter ('bbp_get_topic_content' , 'follow_topic_if_admin' , 10 , 2) ;
    
    function follow_topic_if_admin ($content, $topic_id) {
    	$user_id = bbp_get_topic_author_id( $topic_id ) ;
    	$user_meta=get_userdata($user_id);
    	$user_roles=$user_meta->roles;
    	$allowed_roles = array('editor', 'administrator');
    	if( array_intersect($allowed_roles, $user_roles ) ) { 
    		remove_filter( 'bbp_get_topic_content', 'bbp_rel_nofollow',   50   );
    	}
    return apply_filters( 'follow_topic_if_admin', $content, $topic_id );
    }
    
    add_filter ('bbp_get_reply_content' , 'follow_reply_if_admin' , 10 , 2) ;
    
    function follow_reply_if_admin ($content, $reply_id) {
    	$user_id = bbp_get_reply_author_id( $reply_id ) ;
    	$user_meta=get_userdata($user_id);
    	$user_roles=$user_meta->roles;
    	$allowed_roles = array('editor', 'administrator');
    	if( array_intersect($allowed_roles, $user_roles ) ) { 
    		remove_filter( 'bbp_get_reply_content', 'bbp_rel_nofollow',   50   );
    	}
    return apply_filters( 'follow_reply_if_admin', $content, $reply_id );
    }

    Add this to your functions file.

    Let me know if it works

    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 🙁

    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.

    Hey @robin-w Tested but not working 🙁
    What can be failing in your idea?

    This doesn’t work either 🙁

    Remove NoFollow from BBPress Posts

    Will have to review the code and what’s going on with that filter nowadays
