WordPress Snippet #1: “nofollow” your blogroll
The Wordress Snippets series of posts will give you some useful code snippets for use in your projects – just copy and paste (but try to understand how they work!).
This snippet will add rel="nofollow" to the links in your blogroll, or those outputted by wp_list_bookmarks. Add to functions.php or your links template.
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 | function nofollow_my_bookmarks( $links ) { foreach($links as $link) { $link->link_rel .= ' nofollow'; $link->link_rel = trim($link->link_rel); } return $links; } add_filter('get_bookmarks', 'nofollow_my_bookmarks'); |
How it works
WordPress uses a function called get_bookmarks when it gets links for your blogroll – we use a filter to hook in and add the ‘nofollow’ rel tag.
