They are used to communicate to search engines that the link is not necessarily "vouched for" by the author. WordPress includes them in comments by default. You don't need to remove them unless you understand them and know what you are doing. There is no need to remove them if you do not want to.

I would like to share a link where a software engineer has shared a tip on “PHP functions str_ireplace and str_replace”. str_ireplace and str_replace both functions take 3 parameters. Parameter1 : The input string which you want to search Parameter2 : The string which you want to over write on the search string Parameter3 : The original String What is the difference between str_ireplace and str_replace The str_replace function is a case-sensitive which means that it replaces the string that exactly matches the string exactly. It means that if you call the function to replace the string "MFS" with "abc", the function would not replace strings which consist of "mFS","mfs","MfS" because it wouldn't consider them a complete match. However, the str_ireplace function php is not sensitive-rule and will treat "MFS","mfs","MfS" ..... all combination as a single match. For more detail, here is the link: http://www.mindfiresolutions.com/PHP-functions-strireplace-and-strreplace-125.php Hope you find it useful and of assistance. Thanks, Bijayani Hi,

I happened to see your post find it quite informative. I would like to share a link where a software engineer has shared a tip on “PHP functions str_ireplace and str_replace”.

str_ireplace and str_replace both functions take 3 parameters.

Parameter1 : The input string which you want to search
Parameter2 : The string which you want to over write on the search string
Parameter3 : The original String

What is the difference between str_ireplace and str_replace
The str_replace function is a case-sensitive which means that it replaces the string that exactly matches the string exactly. It means that if you call the function to replace the string “MFS” with “abc”, the function would not replace strings which consist of “mFS”,”mfs”,”MfS” because it wouldn’t consider them a complete match.
However, the str_ireplace function php is not sensitive-rule and will treat “MFS”,”mfs”,”MfS” ….. all combination as a single match.

WordPress adds the <code>external</code> attribute as well. Yes, as explained in the article, the second method will remove the nofollow attribute from comments.

This filtering you describe would also remove the nofollow attribute in comment replies as well wouldn't it? I noticed in your source code that you have the nofollow attribute in your comment replies. Also interesting use of 'external nofollow' for your comments here ;) I’m not sure why WordPress insists in maintaining the nofollow comment attribute as its default.
