But in the Wordpress comment field was used NoFollow as default. We can change to DoFollow by using DoFollow plugin, unfortunately because several bugs certain, recommended to change them with manual method.
Below the step of manual method :
Step 1: To change Comment Author link became DoFollow
Open your wp-includes folder then open comment-template.php file. Find the code along with:
$return = “<a href=’$url’ rel=’external nofollow’>$author</a>”;
Delete the word “nofollow” , so that code will be like this :
$return = “<a href=’$url’ rel=’external’>$author</a>”;
Step 2: To change Comment Field link became DoFollow
Open your wp-includes folder then open default-filters.php file. Find the code along with:
add_filter(’pre_comment_content’, ‘wp_rel_nofollow’, 15);
Added // in front of that code , so will be like this :
//add_filter(’pre_comment_content’, ‘wp_rel_nofollow’, 15);

All of my blogs are now dofollow. I feel it is good to give back to those that comment. I have pretty good spam protection. I just delete any spam that might get through.
