JNofollow in practice – before & after

What exactly does the plugin do to a link? Six real cases with input and output – copy them into a test article and compare.

Case 1: The standard – enforce site-wide

A plain external link in your article:

<a href="https://example.com/page">Example</a>

With default settings the rendered output becomes:

<a href="https://example.com/page"
   rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Example</a>

Case 2: Existing rel token + bypass

The link already carries noopener and the rel-token bypass is enabled – it stays follow:

<a href="https://example.com" rel="noopener">Example</a>
→ <a href="https://example.com" rel="noopener">Example</a>

Case 3: CSS class bypass

A link with your configured bypass class stays follow:

<a href="https://example.com" class="follow">Example</a>
→ <a href="https://example.com" class="follow">Example</a>

Case 4: data-follow bypass

<a href="https://example.com" data-follow="1">Example</a>
→ <a href="https://example.com" data-follow="1">Example</a>

Case 5: Whitelist – partner domains stay internal

With partner.tld on the whitelist, this link (and every subdomain of it) is treated as internal and remains untouched:

<a href="https://shop.partner.tld/deal">Partner</a>
→ <a href="https://shop.partner.tld/deal">Partner</a>

Case 6: Blacklist beats everything

The domain is blacklisted – even the follow class cannot save it:

<a href="https://spam.tld" class="follow">Spam</a>
→ <a href="https://spam.tld" class="follow"
     rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Spam</a>

Article switches

Switch processing off for a whole article or just a section – the tokens vanish from the output:

{nofollow=off}
... links in this article stay untouched ...
{nofollow=on}

Legacy: {mnf=off} ... {mnf=on}
