External Links relation option for website URL

Open mmarj opened this issue 4 years ago • 1 comments

Description of the Feature request

Let the users choose nofollow, noopener, sponsored, follow rel with website URL field for better SEO.

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

As we all know, WPUF is mainly for post/article management. Most of the users want to let their Authors insert an external URL, but let's say they want to add rel="nofollow sponsored UGC" (a relevant article), etc., but we don't have any current feature available for now with the website URL. So it would be nice for the end-users.

Describe the solution you'd like

We can set an additional option on the editor panel like Open in. Like Link rel: The choice should be user-defined instead of predefined value like (a) Same Window (b) New Window. The reason is, let’s say now Google track rel="nofollow" "sponsored” "UGC," but after a few days later, they introduced a different rel value. So if we choose the user input field, they can assign their own rel value with URL.

I believe manually we can also set multiple rel values with the single rel="nofollow sponsored," so if any possibility makes it happen with the feature, we can also specify that for the end-users.

Describe alternatives you've considered

A third party plugins solution for now- https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-external-links/ Output- http://prntscr.com/wdqrap

Additional context

Our current settings for a website URL field, and we can set another option for Rel right after Open in option: http://prntscr.com/wdr0y2.

It could be a good feature. Will consider it in a future iteration.
