This plugin fixes current HTML syntax errors raised due to how WordPress 
currently returns some links with rel=”category tag”.
Hopefully this plugin is temporary and WordPress will fix this problem.
At present it looks doubtful this will be fixed.

Especially <a href="https://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/22095" rel="nofollow ugc">WordPress Ticket #22095</a> 
talks about what has been fixed (2 problems) and what has been 
deferred indefinitely (1 problem).

This plugin is provided for free.

<h4>Why This Plugin is Essential</h4>
The following is purely my opinion about this matter.
In most cases, your best option when having Web development work done is to make your 
payment contingent on the following checklist… meaning you only pay 
for your Web development after all checklist items are 100% met. No exceptions.
Some diehards in the audience may say Validator code lags standards. True. And 
I’d prefer adhering to the current Validator code rather than constantly 
trying to determine which errors and warnings are acceptable and which are real.
Your Web development checklist:
<ul>
<li><a href="http://Validator.w3.org/" rel="nofollow ugc">W3C HTML Validator</a> – 100% clean HTML syntax validation. Zero errors. 
Zero warnings. No exceptions, save one. The single exception is one warning, 
which the validator currently emits if you use an HTML5 Doctype ().</li>
<li><a href="http://Jigsaw.w3.org/css-validator/" rel="nofollow ugc">W3C CSS Validator</a> – 100% clean CSS syntax validation. Zero errors. 
Zero warnings. No exceptions.</li>
<li><a href="http://WebPageTest.org" rel="nofollow ugc">Web Page Test</a> – A score in ever category. No exceptions, save one. Do yourself 
a favor and skip using a CDN, unless you’re serving huge video files off your site. 
Even then, unless your CDN supports true streaming (meaning you can move the scrubber 
bar and the video playback position tracks + changes correctly) you’re better off hiring 
some to correctly tool your site. Follow this checklist and a CDN will rarely give you 
any measurable speed increase.</li>
<li><a href="https://developers.google.com/speed/pagespeed/insights/" rel="nofollow ugc">Google PageSpeed</a> – 100 out of 100 PageSpeed Score. 
In other words, all tests pass. No exceptions.</li>
</ul>
Having “No exceptions” in each case will also require you use a Hosting Company run by 
Wicked Smart Uber Geeks. I’ve yet to find any company who can tune up a Web server to 
run as fast as I tune mine, so I run my own “Iron” (servers which I admin personally).
This said, you may have some exceptions. You’ll have to determine which are acceptable for you.
For me, “No exceptions” is mandatory.
Enough rambling.

<h3>Summary</h3>
NoFollowr allows an administrator to easily see which external links are granting search-engine benefits upon another site. The administrator can toggle between allowing and disallowing this benefit with a single click. The change is instant and does not require a page reload, making the moderation of external links a breeze.
<h3>How it works</h3>
When logged in as an administrator, green “tick” and red “stop” icons appear next to all external links in a post indicating whether <code>rel="nofollow"</code> is currently applied to them. Simply click an icon to toggle between these two states and alter the link’s nofollow status. This change is applied to your database remotely, without requiring a page reload.
<h3>Why is this plugin useful?</h3>
The whole question of <a href="http://www.seowizz.net/2009/04/relnofollow-debate-lets-try-and-get-to.html" title="The rel=nofollow debate: Let’s Try and Get To Grips With It" rel="nofollow ugc">whether to use <code>rel="nofollow"</code></a> is a hotly debated one, and applying it (or not) across the board is not a good solution. You want to give credit where it is due and reward useful websites but, at the same time, you do not want to reward suspect websites that promote unethical or unscrupulous behaviour. Read more about how <a href="http://skeptools.wordpress.com/2008/09/03/not-just-for-spam-anymore-nofollow-for-skepticism/" title="Not just for spam anymore: NOFOLLOW for skepticism « Skeptical Software Tools" rel="nofollow ugc"><code>nofollow</code> is extremely important</a> when engaging in activism.
If you are not the sole author of your website or blog it can be very difficult to stay on top of which links are being followed. NoFollowr allows you to easily spot and alter which links receive your love, without spending time going back and forth between your site and the admin area to edit the posts manually.

NoFollowr

I've used this on a (slightly out of date) blog for a long time, and was a bit nervous reading comments about compatibility issues with new version of WP.
However, I'm happy to report it still works flawlessly with WP 4.5.3 - does exactly what it sets out to do, very happy with it.



Works for me!

Browsing a site as an admin, icons are added to external links indicating their nofollow status. Clicking the icons toggles nofollow status via Ajax.
