Remove “rank-math-link” Class from All Outbound Links

In this tutorial, we’re going to walk through the steps on how to remove the Rank Math link class from the outbound links.

In the Rank Math plugin, we overwrite Gutenberg’s link module to add nofollow & sponsored attributes. The rank-math-link is a unique class that is needed to overwrite the default module.

However, you can paste the following code in your theme’s functions.php file to remove the rank-math-link class.

/**
 * Filter to remove `rank-math-link` class from the frontend content links
 */
add_filter( 'rank_math/link/remove_class', '__return_true' );

Doing this will essentially render the nofollow and sponsored options for outbound links to be useless:

We offer other options for links at WordPress Dashboard > Rank Math > General Settings > Links as well. You can read more about each setting in our General Settings guide.
