<p>Convert all external links into internal or nofollow links!</p>
<p>This plugin is a fork of the hijacked and vulnarable “WP No External Links” plugin.</p>
<p>The following critical issues have been fixed:<br />
– Removed Cross-Site Scripting vulnerability.<br />
– Removed backdoor injected into original plugin.<br />
– Fixed creation of the new <code>links_stats</code> table: added charset collation and table existence check.<br />
– Fixed “Specified key was too long; max key length is 767 bytes” error on creating <code>mask_links</code> table.<br />
– Added removing tables on uninstallation.</p>
<p>No External Links plugin is designed for specialists who care about the number of outgoing links that can be found by search engines. Now you can make all external links internal! Plugin does not change anything in website database – it just processes the output. Now you don’t need to worry about your page rank dropping because of spam bots. You write any kind of http link and it becomes internal, hidden or nofollow! Of course, all the links will still be usable.</p>
<p>To make the long story short, your links like “http://gmail.com” will be masked into<br />
“http://YourBlog.com/goto/http://gmail.com” – or<br />
“http://YourBlog.com?goto=http://gmail.com”</p>
<h4>Features</h4>
<ul>
<li>Masking links in posts, pages, comments or on the whole website including widget, theme footer, etc.</li>
<li>Outgoing clicks stats.</li>
<li>Javascript redirect with custom text and timeout.</li>
<li>Masking links with digital code and base64.</li>
<li>Completely removing links from your posts.</li>
<li>Custom redirects.</li>
<li>Disabling masking for registered users.</li>
<li>Disabling masking on per-post basis.</li>
<li>Using nofollow and noindex instead of redirection.</li>
<li>Excluding URLs from masking.</li>
<li>Masking links in custom fields.</li>
<li>Extending plugin with your own functions.</li>
</ul>
<p>If you need any extra features, just create a ticket via support forum.</p>
<h4>Known Issues</h4>
<p>This plugin may conflict with your caching plugins, including Hyper Cache. Usually adding redirect page to caching plugin exclusions works fine.</p>
<p>If you disabled this plugin and still have links masked – check your chaching plugins.</p>


WP No External Links

Convert all external links into internal or nofollow links!

<h3>Summary</h3>
<p>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.</p>
<h3>How it works</h3>
<p>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.</p>
<h3>Why is this plugin useful?</h3>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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.</p>


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.
