## Steps

1. Login to your account on WordPress.
2. We have prepared an example to check later if we have done our internal nofollow link correctly.
3. Right-click the element and select "Inspect." You’ll see that it has a "no-relation" tag.
4. Go back to your WordPress dashboard and navigate to "Plugin" and click "Add New."
5. In the directory tab, search for "External Links." Click "Install Now" and then "Activate."
6. In the left tab, select "External Links." Next to "Set follow or nofollow," click the dropdown menu and choose "nofollow."
7. Scroll down and click "Save Changes."
8. Go back to our example. And as you can see we have set it correctly.
