Hi there,

I think the title is pretty clear 🙂
Using the ACF Link field and whenever I save the field with one of the “rel” attributes (nofollow or sponsored) option checked, the option stays unchecked.

So I cannot retrieved the nofollow data programmatically.
I tried different configuration in the field settings (return link url and link array), but nothing seems to work.

Only the target _blank (Open link ion new tab) is saved in the database.

Has anybody the same issue?

Thanks a lot,
Nathan

Actually I’ve found the culprit: those options are coming from RankMath plugin. I thought they were coming from your plugin.
This explains why we cannot save those 2 options:

Thanks anyway 🙂
