Struggling with No Follow

    Hi,

    I am trying to make the external links in my Table Press chart no follow.

    I read this thread – https://www.ads-software.com/support/topic/how-to-make-table-press-no-follow/

    And then followed the link to this page – https://tablepress.org/extensions/automatic-url-conversion/

    But I still cant make it work, I’m not sure what I am doing wrong. I have tried following the instructions but the links are still showing up as follow.

    This was my short code before trying.

    [table id=2 /]
    [table id=1 responsive=scroll /]

    After adding the extension this is what I tried:

    [table id=2 automatic_url_conversion_rel_nofollow=true /]
    [table id=1 responsive=scroll /]

    After adding this code the table loads but when I inspect the HTML the link doesn’t have the no follow tag.

    Any ideas what I am doing wrong?

    Thanks

    Hi,

    thanks for your post, and sorry for the trouble.

    Just to be sure: Did you install AND activate the TablePress Automatic URL conversion Extension as a new plugin on the site?

    Can you please post a link to the page with the table where this problem happens, so that I can take a direct look? Thanks!

    Regards,
    Tobias

    Hey man,

    Thanks for your speedy reply and apologies for my delay in getting back to you.

    Yes, I installed and activated the extension, you can see that I’ve got three of your plugins active via this screen shot:

    This is the post the table is active on:

    https://pupsterpassion.com/no-more-stinky-smelling-dog-beds/

    It currently has the active short code like this:

    [table id=2 /]
    [table id=1 responsive=scroll /]

    Thanks

    Hi,

    ok, can you now please also add the Shortcode parameter

    automatic_url_conversion_rel_nofollow=true

    again?
    Note that you probably want to add it to the second Shortcode (for table 1), as that’s your table with the links, right?

    Hey man

    Sorry I pasted the wrong short code in the reply.

    This is the current setup:

    [table id=2 automatic_url_conversion_rel_nofollow=true /]
    [table id=1 responsive=scroll /]

    When I check the chart with a FireFox no-follow extension, or with a look at the code I can’t see any sign of no-follow.

    Hi,

    that’s because the parameter is in the wrong Shortcode, as mentioned above. Table 2 only has that “We may receive a commission …” text, whereas your table 1 has the link. Thus, you want:

    [table id=2 /]
[table id=1 responsive=scroll automatic_url_conversion_rel_nofollow=true /]
