I’m running a small community for blogowners, and would like all links in posts to be dofollow. I’ve googled around for a while, and mostly found people who wanted to make all links nofollow. Nothing I could use. I’ve seen some guy say that all links are dofollow normally, well, mine ain’t. Here’s a link to a post with a link in, http://gaesteblog.dk/forums/e/gaesteblog-pa-gaesteblog-dk/, and that link is nofollow. I got a plugin which removes all no-follow tags, but that doesn’t seem to affect BBpress.

Can someone please help me? 🙂

Thanks in advance,
Jonas.

Update. Okay, so I’ve tried to reverse the “adding no-follow” guide I’ve found, and found these two strings;
add_filter( ‘bbp_get_reply_content’,’bbp_rel_nofollow’, 50 );
add_filter( ‘bbp_get_topic_content’,’bbp_rel_nofollow’, 50 );

Found them here; bbpress/includes/core/filters.php
How do I go around and change the nofollow from it? If I remove the string ‘bbp_rel_nofollow’, it gives an error. If I remove the ‘no’ part in nofollow, it gives an error.

Okay, trial and error worked out.
Just for anyone in the future who wants it dofollow, outcomment the lines. So
//add_filter( ‘bbp_get_reply_content’,’bbp_rel_nofollow’, 50 );
//add_filter( ‘bbp_get_topic_content’,’bbp_rel_nofollow’, 50 );
That’ll work. If for some reason you want the links to the userprofiles, reply button and all that stuff to be dofollow too, simply search for ‘nofollow’ (without the brackets) in the bbpress/includes/core/filters.php file, and outcomment the strings. I’m no php wizz, so if this interrupts something else somewhere, please tell. 🙂

That actually worked well.

But i have another problem, i removed nofollow in order to try to get light box working on bbpress posts, its working fine on wp posts however.

I need rel=”lightbox” on images in posts, how to add that filter if anyone can help?

Thanks
