Adding nofollow to PHP code

General PHP Help
#1

Hi!

I am a complete PHP noob. my understanding is pretty much limited to copy and paste. i appreciate any help! :slight_smile:

would anyone know how to add nofollow to the links that this code generates? this code manually adds “recent comments” to my wordpress sidebar - so it has no relational code in the functions.php, no plugin - this is all there is to it, and i would love to nofollow the comment links:

<?php global $wpdb; $sql = "SELECT DISTINCT ID, post_title, post_password, comment_ID, comment_post_ID, comment_author, comment_date_gmt, comment_approved, comment_type,comment_author_url, SUBSTRING(comment_content,1,90) AS com_excerpt FROM $wpdb->comments LEFT OUTER JOIN $wpdb->posts ON ($wpdb->comments.comment_post_ID = $wpdb->posts.ID) WHERE comment_approved = '1' AND comment_type = '' AND post_password = '' ORDER BY comment_date_gmt DESC LIMIT 4"; $comments = $wpdb->get_results($sql); $output .= "\n"; echo $output;?>

again, anyone that can help, it is truly appreciated :slight_smile:

Hi there,

Update this part of your code:
[php]$output .= “\n

  • ”.strip_tags($comment->comment_author)
    .":
    " . “<a href=”" . get_permalink($comment->ID) .
    “#comment-” . $comment->comment_ID . “” title=“Teen Fashion Blog” . “”>" . strip_tags($comment->com_excerpt)
    ."
    • ";[/php]

    to this:
    [php]$output .= “\n

  • ”.strip_tags($comment->comment_author)
    .":
    " . “<a href=”" . get_permalink($comment->ID) .
    “#comment-” . $comment->comment_ID . “” title=“Teen Fashion Blog” . “” rel=“nofollow”>" . strip_tags($comment->com_excerpt)
    ."
    • ";[/php]
