I have edited link_summary.tpl file and changed rel="nofollow" to rel="dofollow" but it made only the links in UPCOMING NEWS dofollow, the links on main page PUBLISHED NEWS do not have dofollow or nofollow tag.

How can I put dofollow on that links too?

Looking forward to hearing from you.

Look around the same area that you changed. There is an {if} statement that determines if the story is published or upcoming. If it is published, by default Pligg will not put a "nofollow" tag. It was designed that way to give spammers less reason to submit spam since their links won't be followed by search engines.

The easiest way is to use the Robots meta tag in your header. Remove all of the nofollow and dofollow from links, and then add this tag to your head section:

<meta name="robots" content="index, follow" />

There's no value and attribute such as rel="dofollow" - it means that without rel="nofollow", it automatically becomes a dofollow link. What you should do is just remove the rel="nofollow"

In link_summary.tpl, find the two instances of:

PHP Code:

<a href="{$url}" {if $open_in_new_window eq true} target="_blank"{/if} {if $story_status neq "published"}rel="nofollow"{/if}>{$title_short}</a> 


then replace with:

PHP Code:

<a href="{$url}" {if $open_in_new_window eq true} target="_blank"{/if}>{$title_short}</a>
