No follow for social media buttons

Hi Guys, is there any way we can add no follow to social media buttons for SEO purpose?

Thanks.

Hello,

You can add no follow to social media buttons using this file inc/shortcodes.php

Best Regards

not sure what you mean. I am talking about adding the following line rel=”nofollow”

to the social media icons on the footer.
Thanks

Hello,

Using this file inc/shortcodes.php you can insert line rel=”nofollow”

Best Regards

Sorry, I am not a php expert. So could you please show a sample code of where to add etc. So I can do it for the rest. Also if I do this do I have to keep on updating this file every time the theme is updated?

Try to add the following PHP code snippet to the child theme functions.php file to do this

function basel_shortcode_social($atts) {
    extract(shortcode_atts( array(
        'type' => 'share',
        'align' => 'center',
        'tooltip' => 'no',
        'style' => 'default', // circle colored
        'size' => 'default', // circle colored
        'el_class' => '',
    ), $atts ));

    $target = "_blank";

    $thumb_id = get_post_thumbnail_id();
    $thumb_url = wp_get_attachment_image_src($thumb_id, 'thumbnail-size', true);

    $page_link = get_the_permalink();
    if ( basel_woocommerce_installed() && is_shop() ) $page_link = get_permalink( get_option( 'woocommerce_shop_page_id' ) );
    if ( basel_woocommerce_installed() && ( is_product_category() || is_category() ) ) $page_link = get_category_link( get_queried_object()->term_id );
    if ( is_home() && ! is_front_page() ) $page_link = get_permalink( get_option( 'page_for_posts' ) );

    ob_start();
    ?>
