    I want to add affiliate links in the Dual Button block (i.e., a different link in each of the 2 buttons) but, for some reason, there’s no option to make them nofollow, they can only open in a new tab. If I try to add rel=”nofollow” using the HTML view, it gives me “This block contains unexpected or invalid content” so I can’t make them nofollow. Is there any way the Dual Button links can be made nofollow?

    Hi @barryrichardson !

    I tested the Buttons Block with adding rel="nofollow" to two buttons, using the ‘Code Editor’ view, and my Blocks continued to work in the front end view as well as in the Editor, after adding this.

    See here: https://d.pr/i/ivEygW

    My test was done in WordPress version 6.6, with Gutenberg Version 19.1.0 active, and using the theme, Twenty Twenty Four.

    Can you share if you’ve tested this with a default theme active, and with all other plugins on the site deactivated ?

    Also, you mentioned the ‘Dual Buttons’ Block ? To ensure that you’re aren’t referencing a Block from a plugin, can you confirm if you’re using the Block outlined in the link below ?

    Lastly, and just in case, for editing or inserting HTML in the Block Editor, the Code Editor is accessible via ‘More Options’ as explained below.

    Thank you for your response. I just noticed that the Dual Button block is actually in the Essential Blocks collection so I apologise for the confusion. I have sent a message to Essential Blocks support who can hopefully provide a solution.
