Adding nofollow attribute to the link to comments generated through wordpress comments_popup_link
If you are using the template tag comments_popup_link to display the link to post comments or open up comments pop up window, you would like to make those links “Nofollow”. Below is a simple function attached to a WordPress filter to make comment links “Nofollow”. Add the code at the bottom of your WordPress theme functions.php.
<?php function add_nofollow_to_comments_popup_link(){
return ' rel="nofollow" ';}
add_filter( 'comments_popup_link_attributes', 'add_nofollow_to_comments_popup_link' ); ?>
Great sharing this.
