    Hello,

    I can’t find a way to insert rel “nofollow” and “sponsored” to a dynamic title that easily that link to a dynamic custom meta.

    For the image block and button block it’s quite easy, it’s there, visible and straight away.

    For the heading block, I can’t find it.

    Thanks for your help,
    Samuel

    Hi Samuel,

    The Headline/Text block doesn’t currently expose a rel attribute field in the UI when using a dynamic link, unlike the Image and Button blocks. You can work around this using the render_block filter with a custom class applied to the block:

    add_filter( 'render_block', function( $block_content, $block ) {
    if ( ! is_admin() && ! empty( $block['attrs']['className'] ) ) {
        $classes = explode( ' ', $block['attrs']['className'] );
        $rel = [];

        if ( in_array( 'cu-add-nofollow', $classes ) ) {
            $rel[] = 'nofollow';
        }

        if ( in_array( 'cu-add-sponsored', $classes ) ) {
            $rel[] = 'sponsored';
        }

        if ( ! empty( $rel ) ) {
            $block_content = str_replace( '<a', '<a rel="' . implode( ' ', $rel ) . '"', $block_content );
        }
    }
    return $block_content;
}, 10, 2 );

    Add cu-add-nofollow and/or cu-add-sponsored as additional CSS classes on the Text block. The filter will inject the appropriate rel attribute on the rendered anchor.

    Ok, thanks for your help !

    This would be a good feature to add then, to make the whole dynamic process transparent in all ways.
