Removing rel="nofollow" from links posted in Post Content

I am running wordpress for my blog EasyPadhai.

I am writing a posts and I have included links to my Android app EasyPadhai for my users. But all links to app are turning in nofollow links. Also Social-links are becoming nofollow links.

How can I change this, so that links in post_Content become doFollow. I am not a pro-wordpress dev. Also I am using following plugins on my installation.

  • Akismet
  • Google Analytics for WordPress
  • WordPress SEO
  • W3 Total Cache

How can I change nofollow links to do follow links for my Post Content?

These links are generated by alx_social_links() function. So in your theme's functions.php file, search for alx_social_links() function and this link specifically.

echo '<li><a rel="nofollow" class="social-tooltip" '.$title.' '.$link.' '.$target.'><i '.$icon.' '.$color.'></i></a></li>';

and remove rel="nofollow" from it. So this will be the new link.

echo '<li><a class="social-tooltip" '.$title.' '.$link.' '.$target.'><i '.$icon.' '.$color.'></i></a></li>';

It will remove nofollow tag from these links.
