<p>For unmodified links Nofollow Case by Case works like a (do)follow plugin for WordPress. It simply removes rel=”nofollow” from your comment links.</p>
<p>Whenever you get the feeling that one of your comment links might be able to harm your own website reputation, if you think about SEO and found a link that looks a bit like spam but should not be deleted, you can replace nofollow to every single comment link at any time. If you want to replace nofollow for a link like that you simply add /dontfollow at the end of the link. You can do this for author links in comments as well as for the links you find in the text.</p>
<h4>This is what the plugin will do automatically:</h4>
<p><strong>1. Clean up some code:</strong><br />
It tries to remove all variants of rel=”nofollow”, target=”blank” and rel=”external” from comment author links and other links in comments first. A link will become a “real link” no matter if it is a pingback, a trackback or a “real comment”.</p>
<p><strong>2. Fix semantical incorrectness:</strong><br />
The plugin now applies rel=”external” – but ONLY for external links!</p>
<p><strong>3. jQuery functions of Nofollow Case by Case:</strong></p>
<p>a) The plugin detects rel=”external” in comments and opens those links in a new window.<br />
No need for target=”_blank” which would not validate in XMTML. jQuery replacement does.</p>
<p>b) The plugin tries to correct author urls that could not be fully replaced before.<br />
This has something to do with template development. Find more information on this within the FAQ.</p>
<h4>Add on</h4>
<p>You can try this <a href="https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/nfcbc-seo-plugin-add-on/" title="NFCBC SEO Plugin Add-on" rel="ugc">NFCBC SEO Plugin ADD-on</a> for easier comment management. The plugin is an old one using javascript but still works. I currently do not have the time to rebuild it. A new version should later support Ajax and nonces and on the other hand will not support old versions of WordPress anymore.</p>
<h4>Alternative Tool</h4>
<p><a href="https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/nfcbc-seo-light/" title="NFCBC SEO Light" rel="ugc">NFCBC SEO Light</a> could be used alternatively. It suggests “follow” or “nofollow” or “no link” automatically, depending on comments length. This plugin might be updated soon. I personally prefer Nofollow Case by Case.</p>

<p><strong>This WordPress plugin gives you the possibility to remove the “nofollow” attribute from your wordpress blog’s comments</strong>: from the author’s links and/or from the comments text links. This can be done either case by case (editing each comment) or through a white-list of commenters emails, whose comments will allways be dofollow.</p>
<p>And don’t forget:</p>
<blockquote>
<p>Don’t use this plugin if you are using another plugin with similar funcionality. Please read the information about it in the <a href="https://wordpress.org/plugins/dofollow-case-by-case/faq/" title="FAQ section" rel="ugc">FAQ section</a>.</p>
</blockquote>
<h4>What can I do with this plugin?</h4>
<p>This plugin allows you to set links in comments to be dofollow instead of nofollow. When editing a comment, now you have the option to remove the rel=”nofollow” attributes from the links contained in them.<br />
To make it easier, you can also setup commenters emails whose links in comments should always be dofollow and you can even set their Author URL when commenting to be dofollow.<br />
On the other side you can also define URLs that when contained in a comment are always dofollow, so that you can setup links to your own sites to be always dofollow.</p>
<p>In order to add commenter’s emails or URLs to the white list, please go to <strong>DoFollow > DoFollow</strong>.</p>
<p><strong>DoFollow > White List Email</strong>: The Email White List contains a list of emails of commenters, whose links in comments are allways dofollow. And you can also choose to make the Author URL dofollow. By default the Author URL is not followed.<br />
Here you can add for example the email addresses of your staff and collaborators.</p>
<p><strong>DoFollow > White List URL</strong>: The URL White List contains a list of URLs that when linked to in a comment, are always dofollow, nevertheless who links to them.<br />
Here you can setup for example links from your sites or from other sites.</p>
<h4>What ideas is this plugin based on?</h4>
<p>We were looking for a plugin like <a href="https://wordpress.org/plugins/nofollow-case-by-case/" title="Nofollow Case by Case" rel="ugc">Nofollow Case by Case</a> but that worked the other way round. Instead of removing the re=”nofollow” from all comments links and have the possibilty to add the rel=”nofollow” case by case, we wanted to leave the rel=”nofollow” and all comments and have the possibility to remove them only from some comments.</p>
<p>And the last plugin we liked is <a href="https://wordpress.org/plugins/smart-dofollow/" title="Smart DoFollow" rel="ugc">Smart DoFollow</a> which lets you automatically give DoFollow links to authors of comments that are longer than a given number of chars. This is intersting, but very dangerous as today all comment spam is quite long and has many characters.</p>
<h4>DoFollow Case by Case Plugin in your Language!</h4>
<p>This first release is avaliable in English and Spanish. In the i18n we have included the necessarry files to translate this plugin.</p>
