NoFollow links on Author description

    Hi,

    Is it possible to make the links on description as no-follow? (Not the contact links, but the ones on bio-description).

    str_replace('href','rel="nofollow" href', $the_author_description);

    In my theme’s inbuilt author box, I had used the above code to replace href with href rel=”nofollow” on author description links. When a user viewed his profile through WordPress dashboard, the nofollow attribute won’t show up there, it will only be added to the author bio links when a post was loaded. How can I do so with the plugin?

    Please let me know.

    Thank you.

    Hi,

    This is outside of the scope of WP Biographia but you should be able to achieve this via the get_the_author_description filter by adding something along the lines of the following to your theme’s functions.php …

    add_filter (get_the_author_description, bio_nofollow_links, 10, 2);
function bio_nofollow_links ($content, $user_id) {
	str_replace ('href','rel="nofollow" href', $content);
	return $content;
}

    A couple of points to note …

    There’s a filter for any of the parameters you can pass to either the_author_meta() or get_the_author_meta(), not just the description (bio) from the user’s profile. See /wp-includes/author-template.php at line 112 in WP 3.4.2.

    I’ve not tested this, so it’s advisable to try this out on a local installation or one that isn’t your live site. It may need some tweaking.

    Haven’t heard back from you on this, so I’m making the assumption it’s all working for you. Feel free to re-open this thread if that’s not the case.
