Hi @ferreidea, Sorry for the late response. wpForo add nofollow to all external links automatically.

@hector, Please follow this discussion: 

@hector How to you put links in topics. If you put a URL it'll automatically replaced with the target="_blank" attribute. As you can see here I'm putting an external link in my post:

... function ($matches){// replace the domain name with your domainif ( strpos( $matches[2], 'facebook.com' ) !== false ){return $matches[0];}// for external urlreturn '<a href="#">Login Please to see the link</a>'; }, $content ); return $content;}add_filter( 'wpforo_content', 'bd_hide_external_link' ); That is all I have done. please tell me what else I need to do to make it work because it is not working yet. thanks

Still all this is solved using a plugin for the whole Wordpress. Now, if a webmaster doesn't want to use any plugin for that, is an other story.

Hi community. How do I make all external links that users place within topics and responses open in a new browser tab? From antennamo I appreciate your response.

Please wait for the next 1.5.2 version release. It comes within next 1-2 days. Then add this custom code to disable the rel = nofollow of all external links: function remove_nofollow_rel_from_external_links( $do ){ return false;}add_filter( 'wpforo_external_link_nofollow', 'remove_nofollow_rel_from_external_links'); How to Easily Add Custom Code in WordPress (without Breaking Your Site)

@annushka No search engine can index data that is hidden from public eye. And your suggestion for noindex in general is not correct. Personally i want dofollow links in my posts and topics. For you, there is a Wordpress plugin that takes care of that globally. Old, but works great:

hi wpForo community. Need some help to Customize the color Post links. In Official documentation: COLOR #11 links' hover/active font color can change the home page, Check the image, i liked the color green pastel: But in post, the links display like a normal Color. I would like to customize the color of the links in the post, to make them with a better combination of colors, so that when I read, it is easy for me to interpret the link. Sorry I have not been able to see the code where I change the link in post and thank you very much for the support. Thanks in Advance Bye

Hi @nawin, wpForo adds nofollow to all external links automatically. So, if you Disable User Profile Page indexing as well, that will stop indexing all external link not matter where are they inserted. Disable the User Profile Page indexing option from Dashboard > Forums > Settings > Features admin page.

OK ... Alvina, I think it looks great. I've been mulling over my objectives and my current thinking (combined with what I read re Blog Cross Posting add-on). I have attached a schematic of how I picture the categories and their relationship interactions. Basically it can be described as follows ... I will have one page blogs for each Service (Product), each Author (Provider), each Publisher and each Reviewer. Each Product could have many Publishers and could have many Promoters but should have just one Provider, Each Product page to have links to the appropriate Provider, Publisher and Reviewer blog pages so that readers can easily refer to other Products they are involved with. Each Provider page to have links to all products where they are the Provider. Each Publisher page to have links to all products where they are the Publisher. Each Reviewer page to have links to all products where they are the Promoter. The blog pages will not have a Readers Comments section, they will be contained to the forum to reduce the amount of reader 'noise' distracting from my blog. I therefore will want a forum thread for each Product, each Provider, each Publisher and each Reviewer. The forum threads to have links back to the relevant blog pages ... Product-Product ... Provider-Provider and Products ... Publisher-Publisher and Products ... Reviewer-Reviewer and Products. Also as for the blogs cross reference to each other I would like the forum threads to similarly cross reference to connected threads. Whenever I open a new blog page I would want a new forum thread to be opened under the relevant Product and if they don't already exist then new threads for the Provider, Publisher and Reviewer categories in the forum. Obviously all of that could be achieved manually but would take a lot of work inserting all the links each time and perhaps more so keeping track of the links! I'm wondering if any of that can either be performed automatically by the Blog Cross Posting add-on or assist in doing it manually. Looking forward to hearing from you.
