Photo Dropper Nofollowed Links

Last Updated: 14 June 2013 By Mike Haydon

Further to my previous post, where I said I’d look into how to “nofollow” links from the WordPress Photo Dropper Plugin…

Open the file wp-content/plugins/photo_dropper/flikr-js.php. Scroll down to the code that looks like:

var licenceHTML = ‘<br /><small><a href=”‘+license_url[1]+'” title=”‘+license_url[0]+'” target=”_blank”><img src=”‘+wppd_dir+’images/cc.png” alt=”Creative Commons License” border=”0″ width=”16″ height=”16″ align=”absmiddle” /></a> <a href=”http://www.photodropper.com/photos/” target=”_blank”>photo</a> credit: <a href=”‘+image_link_url+'” title=”‘+person+'” target=”_blank”>’+person+'</a></small>’;

imgHTML = ‘<a href=”http://www.flickr.com/photos/’ + owner + “/” + id + ‘/” title=”‘ + imagealt + ‘”‘ + ‘ target=”_blank”>’;
imgHTML = imgHTML + ‘<img src=”‘ + imagesrc + ‘” alt=”‘ + imagealt + ‘” border=”0″ /></a>’;
imgHTML = htmlBefore + imgHTML + licenceHTML + htmlAfter;

Wherever you see target=”_blank”, add rel=”nofollow”. Your code will probably look like this:

var licenceHTML = ‘<br /><small><a href=”‘+license_url[1]+'” title=”‘+license_url[0]+'” rel=”nofollow” target=”_blank”><img src=”‘+wppd_dir+’images/cc.png” alt=”Creative Commons License” border=”0″ width=”16″ height=”16″ align=”absmiddle” /></a> <a href=”http://www.photodropper.com/photos/” rel=”nofollow” target=”_blank”>photo</a> credit: <a href=”‘+image_link_url+'” title=”‘+person+'” rel=”nofollow” target=”_blank”>’+person+'</a></small>’;

imgHTML = ‘<a href=”http://www.flickr.com/photos/’ + owner + “/” + id + ‘/” title=”‘ + imagealt + ‘”‘ + ‘ rel=”nofollow” target=”_blank”>’;
imgHTML = imgHTML + ‘<img src=”‘ + imagesrc + ‘” alt=”‘ + imagealt + ‘” border=”0″ /></a>’;
imgHTML = htmlBefore + imgHTML + licenceHTML + htmlAfter;

Save the file (ftp if applicable) and you’re done.
