Welcome to the release of my JR NoFollow WordPress Plugin.
Description
This plugin allows you to enable/disable the nofollow tag on your comments.
You have the option to disable nofollow on the website url field links, as well as disabling it for links in the comment body field.
This will allow you to reward your users for commenting on your blog by providing them with a DoFollow link, so it should help you to gain more comments.
Installation
1. Upload `jr_nofollow.php` to the `/wp-content/plugins/` directory
2. Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress
3. Edit the JR NoFollow Settings in your Administration Panel
4. Done!

Hi Jake, just wondering how this nofollow plugin is any different than the 14 plugins that already do this.. (and much more)
I want to review your plugin and include it in my WordPress nofollow reference, but I need to know if it is unique or different in any way.
Thanks
Jeff: Yeah, I do realise that there is quite a lot of plugins for this sort of thing, but I’m trying to make as many small, useful plugins as possible
Feel free to review my plugin. As with all of the plugins I create, I normally start off very basic and then develop it with new features over time. I’ve just released version 1.1.0 of this plugin, which allows you to have DoFollow only on certain websites, as well as only on comments from specific IP Addresses.
I’m sure over time I’ll be making improvements to it, too
I have a question. I have SEO for FireFox active on my machine, and even after applying your plugin, the links on my WordPress blog are still showing up as no-follow (i.e. highlighted in RED). However, I did notice that, from inside the dashboard itself, the link on the initial post that shows up when you start a blog changed from RED to un-highlighted after installing it. That tells me it did something, but I’m not sure why the blog itself is still full of RED highlighting indicating nofollow links. Any ideas? I appreciate your help!
It seems the plugin doesn’t work with WP 2.9
Setting: Links in Posts are…NoFollow
But the links are still follow. Any solution?
btw…can you expand the exceptions filter to links in post? That would be awesome!
This plug in sounds really wonderful and i will definitely follow those steps.thanks for letting me know about this plug in.
I installed your plugin to my blog, but after activating it, still my blog is nofollow (comments are highlighted in pink)
Does this work on a comment by comment basis or is it an all or nothing setting?
James: For now, it’s currently an all or nothing setting with a few filters. It will be expanded in future.
Editha: That’s quite interesting. First of all, check the settings in Settings –> JR NoFollow and make sure you’ve set everything correctly. If it still doesn’t work, use the contact form on this website (Or the feedback form in the plugin) and I’ll discuss it with you.

Hey Jake, you should really consider updating the changelog either here or on the plugin page. There have been quite a few updates lately, but I have no idea what they are addressing.

Thanks for sharing this. I would like to ask if I can change part of your plug in? I want to customize something if its okay?
Is there any way to make shorter (non-relevant) comments no-follow but allower longer meaningful comments be filtered so they are do-follow?
I keep emailing Jake trying to get him to update the changelog, he releases a new update for this plugin about every week, but I have no idea what the changes are for, however I haven’t gotten a response and he still hasn’t updated the changelog…
Kaiser: Yes, feel free to customize it. If you change something to make it more useful, please let me know and maybe I could release it to everyone else.
Ryan: Now that is a good idea! In the next major release (Probably around Easter time), I’ll be adding loads of new features to each plugin of mine.
Jamie: I have noticed some e-mails from you but due to the huge scale of e-mails I’m receiving about my plugins, it’s really difficult trying to keep up. I thought I did respond to one of them but evidently not. Most of the updates I have been releasing recently are small updates which have happened to ALL of my plugins, so updating the changelog for each one is very time-consuming. In the next major releases, I probably will update the changelog for you. For the time being, I recommend keeping up to date with the latest versions.
Alright great, thanks Jake!
Thank you very much ! It works greatly..
Jake, cheers for the plugin, i will definitely post feedback once I try it for a bit longer. What’s important to me is performance. Though customisation too, a feature such a ‘dofollow’ to go active after 10-20 comments from the same user would be great to encourage users to come back and comment.
Have used this on my blog and yes i do get more comments, one little drawback it that i do get more spam but ive set the moderation feature up now so i can publish whichever comments i like, i would really recommend this.
Very hot Plugin! Thanks a lot for this!
“For now, it’s currently an all or nothing setting with a few filters. It will be expanded in future.”
Jake: Cool! I’ll be looking forward to that. I sent this to my dev to install on our blog so we can start testing.
It works greatly.. like pretty amazing stuff..
Thank you very much
Jake, you are a very clever guy, this plugin works a treat when I was testing it earlier, awesome stuff. Now to make my design live somewhere….
