    Hey,

    the Plugin removes the _blank value in the target attribute of existing links (e.g. in post content). Beside removing the value (leaving target=””) it adds the rel attribute.

    Before (in post content):
    <a href="https://www.google.de">test </a>

    After:
    <a href="https://www.google.de" rel="external nofollow">test </a>

    Any ideas?

    Essentially it’s going to rewrite all the external links in your content, so you won’t have control over one and not the other. You can however use the exclude list to have more control over domains.

    Does this answer your question?

    Woops, there is a mistake in my first post. The problem ist, that the “_blank” gets removed, for no reason.

    Before (in post content):
    <a href="https://www.google.de" target="_blank">test</a>

    After:
    <a href="https://www.google.de" target="" rel="external nofollow">test</a>

    I would expect the plugin to not remove the _blank value but just leave it as it is. Seems to be a bug?

    Thanks for the reply. That’s weird. Can you img a screenshot of your settings page?

    I deactivated the option ‘Add rel=”external nofollow” to external links?’, then it worked. After activating it again, it still works. Possibly caused by an update?

    Could be if you came from a very old version.
