#1

Hey there,

i am having a problem with x-buttons and rel=“nofollow”

I used the following snippet but now ALL buttons are tagged with rel=“nofollow” no matter what the shortcode sasys. want only specific buttons

// Buttons - Adding nofollow attribute
// =============================================================================

function x_shortcode_button2( $atts, $content = null ) {
  extract( shortcode_atts( array(
    'id'               => '',
    'class'            => '',
    'style'            => '',
    'type'             => '',
    'shape'            => '',
    'size'             => '',
    'float'            => '',
    'block'            => '',
    'circle'           => '',
    'icon_only'        => '',
    'href'             => '',
    'title'            => '',
    'target'           => '',
    'info'             => '',
    'info_place'       => '',
    'info_trigger'     => '',
    'info_content'     => '',
    'lightbox_thumb'   => '',
    'lightbox_video'   => '',
    'lightbox_caption' => ''
  ), $atts, 'x_button' ) );

  $id    = ( $id    != '' ) ? 'id="' . esc_attr( $id ) . '"' : '';
  $class = ( $class != '' ) ? ' ' . esc_attr( $class ) : '';
  $style = ( $style != '' ) ? 'style="' . $style . '"' : '';
  $type  = ( $type  != '' ) ? ' x-btn-' . $type : '';
  $shape = ( $shape != '' ) ? ' x-btn-' . $shape : '';
  $size  = ( $size  != '' ) ? ' x-btn-' . $size : '';
  switch ( $float ) {
    case 'left' :
      $float = ' alignleft';
      break;
    case 'right' :
      $float = ' alignright';
      break;
    default :
      $float = '';
  }
  $block            = ( $block            == 'true'  ) ? ' x-btn-block' : '';
  $icon_only        = ( $icon_only        == 'true'  ) ? ' x-btn-icon-only' : '';
  $href             = ( $href             != ''      ) ? $href : '#';
  $title            = ( $title            != ''      ) ? 'title="' . $title . '"' : '';
  $target           = ( $target           == 'blank' ) ? 'target="_blank"' : '';
  $lightbox_thumb   = ( $lightbox_thumb   != ''      ) ? $lightbox_thumb : '';
  $lightbox_video   = ( $lightbox_video   == 'true'  ) ? ', width: 1080, height: 608' : '';
  $lightbox_caption = ( $lightbox_caption != ''      ) ? 'data-caption="' . $lightbox_caption . '"' : '';

  $tooltip_attr = ( $info != '' ) ? cs_generate_data_attributes_extra( $info, $info_trigger, $info_place, '', $info_content ) : '';

  if ( is_numeric( $lightbox_thumb ) ) {
    $lightbox_thumb_info = wp_get_attachment_image_src( $lightbox_thumb, 'full' );
    $lightbox_thumb      = $lightbox_thumb_info[0];
  }

  if ( $lightbox_video != '' ) {
    $lightbox_options = "data-options=\"thumbnail: '" . $lightbox_thumb . "'{$lightbox_video}\"";
  } else {
    $lightbox_options = "data-options=\"thumbnail: '" . $lightbox_thumb . "'\"";
  }

  if ( $circle == 'true' ) {
    $output = "<div {$id} class=\"x-btn-circle-wrap{$size}{$block}{$float}\" {$style}><a rel=\"nofollow\" class=\"x-btn{$class}{$type}{$shape}{$size}{$block}{$icon_only}\" href=\"{$href}\" {$title} {$target} {$tooltip_attr} {$lightbox_caption} {$lightbox_options}>" . do_shortcode( $content ) . "</a></div>";
  } else {
    $output = "<a {$id} rel=\"nofollow\" class=\"x-btn{$class}{$type}{$shape}{$size}{$block}{$float}{$icon_only}\" {$style} href=\"{$href}\" {$title} {$target} {$tooltip_attr} {$lightbox_caption} {$lightbox_options}>" . do_shortcode( $content ) . "</a>";
  }

  return $output;
}

add_filter('init', function() {
  remove_shortcode( 'x_button' );
  add_shortcode( 'x_button', 'x_shortcode_button2' );
});

Can you help me, so that I can only set some specific buttons to nofollow? I only tested it on a staging environment.

Thank you in advance!

Hey Florian,

You will need to add an attribute to the button shortcode. Regretfully, this would be getting into custom development which is outside the scope of our support. You can forward that code snippet to a third party developer so he/she could add a new attribute.

We do have an in-house custom development team that offer paid services, who may be able to assist. They can be contacted at [email protected] if this is of interest to you.

Thank you for your understanding.
