New Gutenberg update problem

[nurseneedles]

Description

When making an affiliate link in Gutenberg, you enter the link URL and under that it says "open in a new page", then there used to be options to make the link no-follow. Those have disappeared and that is a big issue for compliance.

Step-by-step reproduction instructions

1. Write text you want to hyperlink.
2. Highlight text & Click the "add link" icon.
3. Type in hyperlink.
4. Click pencil to edit link and then choose open in a new tab.
5. Under that, the option for "no follow" links for ads is missing.

Thank you for opening your first issue 👍

Those have disappeared

I could be wrong but I do not think adding "no-follow" to links was ever part of Gutenberg core. Could it be the case that you had added this feature using a plugin? I know that some plugins, EditorsKit among them, will add this option for you:

Also, I was looking around and I see there is already an issue for this #13542

I am going to close this issue in favor of the older one. For future issues, I please consider using a title that's as descriptive as possible of the issue. In this case the ideal title would have been something along the lines of "Regression: No-follow setting in links missing after update".

Thanks again for your contribution!

Hi, I promise you Gutenberg very definitely did have the option to make links no follow. Now I'm worried I have to go through my whole website and make links no follow with a plugin if this isn't fixed. Thanks. Debra

Also, I believe the 13542 was created prior to Gutenberg (13542 was created in 2019, before Gutenberg had no-follow link capability. I believe my ticket is more relevant. Thanks. Debra

hi @nurseneedles!

promise you Gutenberg very definitely did have the option to make links no follow.

Sure, I could be wrong! My suggestion is to head over to #13542 and drop a comment there. If the feature was indeed available in the past, the contributors there will be able to confirm it.

I believe my ticket is more relevant.

That ticket has more traction so it will be more likely you will get a reply. I would strongly encourage you to move the conversation there. You can always open a new ticket if needed (please consider a more descriptive title for future tickets, as I suggested in my previous comment).
