The tag is <strong>automatically added to all internal and external links<\/strong> when you make them open in a new tab.<\/p>\n<p>Like any other concerned web developer, you must be wondering what this tag does and <strong>whether it affects your websites negatively in any way<\/strong>?<\/p>\n<p>Well, in this post I\u2019ll tell you what is <strong><code>rel=\"noopener\"<\/code><\/strong> in WordPress and how can you remove it if needed.<\/p>\n<h2>What is rel=\u201dnoopener\u201d?<\/h2>\n<p>As intrusive as it may sound, it is <strong>actually a security fix<\/strong> to prevent malicious links from taking control over an opened tab. Usually, window.opener Javascript object can be used to <strong>control a parent window<\/strong> (your current tab) <strong>using a child window<\/strong> (the newly opened tab).<\/p>\n<p>Hackers can use this feature to <strong>switch user\u2019s currently opened website with a fake one<\/strong> and steal information, such as login details. Here is an example website showing <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/mathiasbynens.github.io\/rel-noopener\/\">how window.opener can hijack your tab<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>To prevent this, <strong><code>rel=\"noopener\"<\/code><\/strong> is the tag that <strong>blocks the use of the window.opener Javascript object<\/strong>. If window.opener will not work, then a tab can\u2019t control another tab.<\/p>\n<p>This security fix was added in <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tinymce.com\/docs\/changelog\/#version450-november232016\">TinyMCE plugin<\/a> on 23rd November 2016. As WordPress uses TinyMCE as its text editor, it also <strong>got updated with this feature in WordPress version 4.7.4<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.hongkiat.com\/uploads\/wordpress-rel-noopener\/rel-noopener-tag.jpg\" alt=\"wordpress noopener\" width=\"756\" height=\"454\"><\/figure>\n<h2>Is it bad for your website?<\/h2>\n<p>In short, <strong>no<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>Many WordPress users <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/support\/topic\/internal-links-are-suddenly-nofollow\/\">are concerned<\/a> that <strong><code>rel=\"noopener\"<\/code><\/strong> may be making all internal and external links \"nofollow\", <strong>which is really bad for SEO<\/strong>. In actual, <strong><code>rel=\"noopener\"<\/code><\/strong> is just an instruction for the user\u2019s browser to stop the use of the window.opener Javascript object.<\/p>\n<p>The website SEO is affected by search engines and they don\u2019t interact with <strong><code>rel=\"noopener\"<\/code><\/strong> tag. Same goes for <strong>analytics software that completely ignores this tag<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>This might have been a bit of a problem when WordPress first added <strong><code>rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"<\/code><\/strong> tag <strong>before the fix was released<\/strong> with WordPress version 4.7.4. In the former version, \"noreferrer\" prevented the link from knowing where it actually came from.<\/p>\n<p>Although it didn\u2019t affect SEO, some of the analytics tools and affiliate programs were affected. However, it seems <strong>WordPress has now removed the \"noreferrer\" tag<\/strong> and you should have no problem with <strong><code>rel=\"noopener\"<\/code><\/strong> tag. Just make sure you <strong>update to the latest version of WordPress<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<h2>How to remove rel=\u201dnoopener\u201d<\/h2>\n<p>I don\u2019t see any good reason to remove <strong><code>rel=\"noopener\"<\/code><\/strong> from your posts. It doesn\u2019t affect SEO, no impact on analytics tools, and affiliate links also won\u2019t break. It <strong>merely protects your users from potential malicious links<\/strong> that could hijack their tabs.<\/p>\n<p>As it only stops the use of the window.opener Javascript object, I believe you will only want to <strong>remove it when you want to take advantage of the window.opener feature<\/strong> for any purpose.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Removing <strong><code>rel=\"noopener\"<\/code><\/strong> can be a bit difficult<\/strong> as it is integrated into the WordPress text editor. Even if you manually remove it from the HTML code, it will be <strong>added back again when you will save the document<\/strong>. So your best bet is to disable this feature from the TinyMCE plugin itself.<\/p>\n<p>To do this you will have to <strong>add some lines of code in the <em>functions.php<\/em> file<\/strong> of your WordPress theme.<\/p>\n<p>In the <em>functions.php<\/em> file, <strong>copy and paste the below-mentioned code<\/strong> and save it:<\/p>\n<pre>\r\n\/\/ Note that this intentionally disables a tinyMCE security feature.\r\n\/\/ Use of this code is NOT recommended.add_filter('tiny_mce_before_init','tinymce_allow_unsafe_link_target');\r\nfunction tinymce_allow_unsafe_link_target( $mceInit ) {\r\n    $mceInit['allow_unsafe_link_target']=true;\r\n    return $mceInit;\r\n}<\/pre>\n<p>This will <strong>stop WordPress from automatically adding <code>rel=\"noopener\"<\/code> tag<\/strong> in your posts. However, this will not remove already added tags, so you will have to <strong>manually remove them from posts saved after WordPress 4.7.4 update<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<h2>To conlclude<\/h2>\n<p>There is no need to be afraid of the <code>rel=\"noopener\"<\/code> tag as <strong>it is a step forward in to the security of your website visitors<\/strong>. Unless you want to use the window.opener feature, you should embrace this new edition of security feature.<\/p>\n<p>If there is any other reason why you are looking to remove <code>rel=\"noopener\"<\/code> tag, then do enlighten us in the comments below.<\/p>\n<p class=\"recommended_top\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<strong>Read Also:<\/strong>\u00a0\n\t\t\t\t\t<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.hongkiat.com\/blog\/trimming-wordpress-database\/\">Best Practices to Trim Your WordPress Database<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If you have upgraded to WordPress 4.7.4 version or newer, then you must have noticed a new tag rel=&#8221;noopener&#8221; alongside the target=&#8221;_blank&#8221; tag in the HTML editor.
