you could possibly add some jquery similar to this but not all the links to the profile use the same class all the time. Some times it is .Author a and others span.LastCommentBy a etc
<script type="text/javascript">jQuery(document).ready(function(){ $('a.ProfileLink[rel=nofollow]'); }); </script>Not sure a jquery fix would help as it would require the crawler to run JS to see the modified links.
Good thought though.
Hello,
I am also looking for a simple way to add a nofollow attribute for profiles links in topics lists pages (for Vanilla 3.x):
Thank you for your help.
Just add the no index and/or no follow tags to the profile page
Thank you @ianw5555 for your answer.
I have already done this, but I would like to prevent search engines from following these links (in order to not to see false errors in the Google search console, for example).
Do you mean that you want these (internal) links to be nofollow?
Yes, exactly! 😉
I think this link is made here, in /applications/vanilla/views/discussions/helper_functions.php:
echo ' <span class="MItem LastCommentBy">'.sprintf(t('Most recent by %1$s'), userAnchor($last)).'</span> ';
