## Description

Adds the rel=”ugc” attribute value to links in comments and author URLs. This way
the search engines will know that the links in the are added by users (User Generated
Content).

Currently the plugins adds the value ugc after the nofollow value. Not all SEO tools
and search engines are up-to-date and actively supporting the new attribute values.

This plugin won’t get further updates as WordPress 5.3 has the exact same attribute
values implemented (nofollow, ugc).

## Installation

 1. Copy all the files into the “wp-content/plugins/wp-ugc-comments/” directory.
 2. Activate the plugin in the WordPress Plugin Admin panel.

## FAQ

  Does it only works with Links in Comments?

Links in Comments and Comment Author links are processed with rel=”nofollow ugc”
tag.

  Why does the plugin still show the nofollow before the ugc?

Currently the plugins adds the value ugc after the nofollow value. Not all SEO tools
and search engines are up-to-date and actively supporting the new attribute values.
