  Hi There,
  I have recently discovered that my site has nofollow attributes on many of the pages, so it is being blocked from search. I hired a developer who performed the following tasks to no avail:

  1- I added nofollow plugin and activated it. It Persists.

  2- Then I used code snippet to add these code
  // Remove nofollow attribute from comment author links
  function remove_nofollow_from_comment_author_links($author_link) {
  return preg_replace(‘/s+rel=[”]nofollow[”]/’, ”, $author_link);
  }
  add_filter(‘get_comment_author_link’, ‘remove_nofollow_from_comment_author_links’);

  3- Then I added the same code to the theme.php file.

  Still didn’t change

  I would like to set up an opportunity to troublshoot this problem with one of your engineers. Please let me know if this is possible.
  Thank you

  Jetpack: No
